Export agency refers to a trade method in which the entrusting party (manufacturing enterprises or trading companies, etc.) entrusts an agent with the right to operate import and export to handle export business on its behalf.
The agent usually provides a series of services, including but not limited to: handling customs declaration and inspection application procedures to ensure that the goods can exit the country smoothly in compliance with regulations; arranging freight transportation, selecting appropriate transportation methods and logistics companies to ensure that the goods arrive at the destination on time; handling export foreign exchange collection, assisting the entrusting party to safely recover foreign exchange payments; and also handling export tax rebates to strive for tax preferences for the entrusting party.
Compared with enterprises exporting by themselves, export agency enables enterprises that are not familiar with the foreign trade process and lack professional teams to carry out export business with the help of the agent's experience and resources, reducing costs and risks. For enterprises exporting by themselves, although they have strong autonomy, they need to invest more manpower and material resources to establish a foreign trade system.
