My company recently has a demand for importing mechanical equipment and wants to find a reliable Shanghai machinery import agent. However, I'm not familiar with this market and don't know where to start. I would like to ask everyone, where in Shanghai can I purchase professional, reliable, and high-quality machinery import agency services? I hope friends with experience can give some suggestions, and it would be best to mention what aspects to pay attention to when choosing. Thank you!
