An import and export agency company, simply put, is to accept the entrustment of other enterprises or individuals to handle the import and export business of goods on their behalf. For example, a manufacturing enterprise wants to export its products abroad, but it lacks the right to engage in import and export business on its own, or is not familiar with the international market and trade process. At this time, it can seek the help of an import and export agency company.
The main responsibilities of an import and export agency company include: assisting the entrusting party to handle various licenses, approvals, etc. required for import and export; arranging the transportation, customs declaration, inspection declaration and other procedures of the goods; handling the communication with foreign customers, contract signing and other matters.
Different from ordinary import and export companies, an import and export agency company usually does not own the ownership of the goods, but only conducts business as the agent of the entrusting party. By entrusting an import and export agency company, enterprises can reduce trade risks, save time and energy, and focus on the development of their own core businesses.
