Where can I find a reliable customs clearance agent for raw material imports? Looking for recommendations!
Our company has a batch of raw materials that need to be imported recently. We haven't been involved in the area of customs clearance agents for imports before, and we don't know where to find them. We hope to find a professional, service-oriented and reasonably priced agent company. Does anyone who knows about this have any suggestions? Please give some advice, such as the channels to look for and the aspects of the agent companies that need to be focused on for inspection, etc. Thank you all in advance!
