To put it simply, import and export agency is like a helper for enterprises in doing import and export trade. If an enterprise doesn't have the energy or professional knowledge to handle the import and export process, it can find an agency. The agency helps to handle the customs clearance procedures. Otherwise, if the enterprise does it by itself, it may waste time due to unfamiliarity with the regulations.
