An import and export agency enterprise, simply put, is an enterprise that accepts the commission of other enterprises or individuals to handle the import and export business of goods or services. Such enterprises, relying on their professional foreign - trade knowledge, rich experience, and extensive resource network, provide one - stop import and export solutions for the entrusting parties.
Its scope of business covers many aspects. For example, it assists the entrusting party in conducting market research, analyzing the needs and policies of the target market; is responsible for the customs declaration and inspection of goods to ensure that the goods enter and leave the country in compliance; arranges transportation and logistics to ensure the safe and timely delivery of goods. At the same time, it also handles financial affairs such as foreign exchange settlement in the import and export process.
Different from general import and export enterprises, import and export agency enterprises mainly serve others and earn agency fees, rather than making profits by buying and selling goods in their own names. For example, Zhongshitong, through professional services, has helped many enterprises solve import and export problems and smoothly carry out international trade.
