Import and export agent companies are professional institutions that provide services related to the import and export process for enterprises.
Their main businesses cover assisting in handling import and export qualifications, such as customs declaration and inspection, ensuring that goods enter and exit the country legally and compliantly; also including logistics and transportation arrangements, such as choosing appropriate transportation methods (sea transportation, air transportation, etc.), and handling freight insurance, etc. Meanwhile, they can also provide assistance in trade financing, for example, helping enterprises solve the problem of capital turnover.
Different from ordinary trading companies, import and export agent companies usually don't engage in the actual buying and selling of goods themselves but focus on providing services for other enterprises with import and export needs to earn service fees. While ordinary trading companies directly participate in the procurement and sale of commodities. When choosing an import and export agent company, one should focus on examining its professional qualifications, industry experience and service reputation, etc.
