To be an export agency agent, first, one should be familiar with the export business process, including but not limited to quotation, ordering, payment method, stock preparation, packaging, customs clearance procedures, shipping, transportation insurance, bill of lading, settlement of exchange, etc. This is the basis for carrying out agency business.

Secondly, establish a professional knowledge system and master relevant knowledge such as international trade terms, customs policies, tax policies, etc. For example, one should be clear about the division of responsibilities, risks and costs between the buyer and the seller under different trade terms.

Furthermore, expand customer resources. You can find enterprises with export needs through channels such as participating in exhibitions, online marketing, and industry associations.

Also, establish cooperative relationships with reliable suppliers, freight forwarders, customs brokers, etc. to ensure the smooth progress of the business. In addition, operate legally and compliantly and handle the necessary business licenses and other relevant qualifications.

Pay attention to reputation accumulation. It doesn't matter if the business volume is small at the beginning. Do a good job in each agency business. When customers are satisfied, the word-of-mouth will spread later, and naturally, there will be more business.
