Our company plans to expand overseas markets and wants to find an export agent to help, but we are not very clear about the specific services of the export agency. We are worried that after finding an agent, we still have to take care of some links by ourselves, which will be very troublesome. Are there any friends who know about it and can talk in detail about what the export agency service covers? This way, I can have a clear idea in my mind and it will be convenient to screen suitable agents.
