Where can one usually find providers offering the service of customs declaration for goods import and export?
Our company has recently had goods import and export business. We haven't been involved in the customs declaration agency part before, and we don't know where to find the relevant services. I'd like to ask everyone, where can I get the customs declaration agency service for goods import and export? It would be best if you could tell me how to choose a reliable customs declaration agency service. If there is an approximate cost range, that would be even better. I hope friends with experience can give some suggestions.

The customs declaration agency service for goods import and export is not a commodity in the traditional sense of "being sold", but is provided by professional customs brokers or freight forwarding companies. In coastal port cities such as Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Ningbo, such service providers are relatively concentrated because these places have frequent import and export businesses.
You can search for them in the following ways: First, search online. Use search engines like Baidu to input "customs declaration agency for goods import and export" and screen the enterprises that rank high and have a good reputation. Second, through industry exhibitions. Many customs declaration enterprises will participate in exhibitions, and you can communicate directly face to face. Third, through peer recommendations. Ask enterprises with import and export businesses about the reliable agencies they have cooperated with.
When choosing, you should check the enterprise qualifications, such as the Registration Certificate of Customs Declaration Enterprises. Regarding the fees, they vary depending on the types of goods, the value of the goods, and the complexity of the customs declaration, generally ranging from several hundred yuan to several thousand yuan.
