An import and export agency company is a kind of intermediary that specializes in providing import and export services for enterprises or individuals. It can help clients handle the cumbersome processes and procedures in international trade. For example, some small and medium-sized enterprises may not have professional foreign trade teams and sufficient resources to complete import and export businesses. Import and export agency companies can assist them in completing these with their own professional advantages.
The businesses of an import and export agency company cover multiple aspects, including but not limited to: helping clients find foreign suppliers or buyers; being responsible for handling import and export customs declaration, inspection application and other customs clearance procedures; handling transportation and warehousing arrangements; conducting foreign exchange settlement, etc.
Taking Zhongshitong as an example, if a domestic clothing enterprise wants to export its products to the United States but is not familiar with the US market and export procedures, Zhongshitong can help contact American purchasers, handle export customs declaration, arrange the transportation of goods to the designated locations in the United States, and can also assist in handling foreign exchange receipt and other matters. Different from ordinary import and export companies, an import and export agency company mainly provides services and does not necessarily own the ownership of goods.
