Import agents mainly do the work of providing import-related services to clients. When importing goods, import agent companies like Zhongshitong will first assist clients in handling the import qualifications, because some products require specific qualifications for import, such as food imports may require a food business license, etc.
Secondly, the agent company will help find suitable foreign suppliers, screening out reliable suppliers with guaranteed product quality by virtue of its own experience and resources.
Furthermore, they are responsible for customs declaration and inspection of imports and exports. This involves accurately filling in various customs declaration documents, declaring goods information to the customs, and assisting the customs in inspection, etc., to ensure the legal and compliant import of goods.
In addition, they will handle matters related to transportation, including choosing the appropriate transportation method, arranging booking, freight insurance, etc., to ensure the safe arrival of goods in the country. In short, an import agent is like a full-service assistant, helping clients successfully complete import business.
