Where can one generally find the details of foreign trade agency exports?
Solved#Export agent#
My company has engaged a foreign trade agency to help export products and now wants to understand the export details but doesn't know where to obtain them. I would like to ask where the details of foreign trade agency exports can usually be found? Should I communicate via email to ask the foreign trade agency to provide them, or can I view them myself in the relevant business system? Or are there any other channels? I hope friends who know can give me some guidance.

Usually, you can directly obtain the export details from the cooperative foreign trade agency. For example, Zhongshitong will regularly provide the principal with detailed export detail reports, covering goods information (name, specification, quantity, etc.), price terms, transportation information (vessel name and voyage number, bill of lading number, etc.), foreign exchange receipt situation, etc. You can take the initiative to contact its business contact person and request it via email, phone, or instant messaging tools.
In addition, some foreign trade agencies will build a business management system and authorize the principal to log in and view relevant export details. It is convenient to operate and the data is updated in a timely manner. You can consult Zhongshitong whether there is such a system and how to obtain the login method. Also, the customs declaration form is an important source of export details. After the goods have completed export customs declaration, you can obtain a copy of the customs declaration form from Zhongshitong, which records the detailed export goods declaration information.
