Import foreign trade agency is similar to a "housekeeper" of import business. When an enterprise does import business by itself, it may be completely clueless. The agency company can handle everything from procurement to transportation and then to the preparatory work before domestic sales, making import smoother.

Actually, it means that when an enterprise doesn't have the ability or doesn't want to handle the complicated affairs of import by itself, it will find an agency company. The agency company is responsible for connecting with foreign countries and handling troublesome matters such as transportation and customs clearance. The enterprise just needs to wait for the goods to be received.
