The import agency process is a series of operational steps involved from preparation to completion of import delivery when entrusting a professional agency company to help import goods. First, there is preliminary communication. You need to clarify the details of the imported goods, delivery requirements, etc. with the agency company. Then, sign an agency import contract to determine the rights and obligations of both parties. After that, the agency company will carry out a series of operations, including handling import approvals or licenses, if necessary; arranging international transportation to pick up the goods from foreign suppliers and transport them to domestic ports; after the goods arrive at the port, carry out bill of lading exchange, changing the bill of lading into a delivery order. Then, declare to the customs, submit relevant documents, and after the customs inspection is correct, pay tariffs, value-added tax and other taxes. After the customs release, arrange delivery to the designated location, and there may also be subsequent matters such as commodity inspection and quarantine. In short, it covers all key links in the import process to ensure the smooth progress of the import business.

The import agency process is like a production line. From purchasing abroad, to transportation, then to domestic customs declaration and clearance, and finally delivering it to you. This whole consecutive series of steps is the process. The process may vary slightly for different goods. For example, there may be more inspection and quarantine links for food products.
