Which food import customs clearance agency is good? Come and share your experience!
Our company plans to import a batch of food from abroad. We have no relevant experience before and don't know which customs clearance agency to choose. There are so many such agencies in the market, and we're afraid of making mistakes. I would like to ask if you have any reliable recommendations for food import customs clearance agencies? I mainly want to know about the company's professional competence, service level and whether the charges are reasonable. I hope friends with actual cooperation experience can give some suggestions. Thank you!

When choosing a food import customs clearance agency, you can consider the following aspects. First is professional competence. A reliable agency should be familiar with the regulations, policies and declaration procedures for various food imports. Like Zhongshitong, it has a professional customs clearance team and is proficient in animal and plant quarantine and food label review involved in food imports.
Secondly, look at the service level. A good agency will provide all-round services, following up from the preparation of preliminary materials, customs declaration and inspection to the later logistics and distribution. Zhongshitong is customer-demand-oriented, can promptly feedback the customs clearance progress and solve unexpected problems.
Finally, it's about the charges. Reasonable charges are crucial. Zhongshitong has transparent charges, without hidden fees, and formulates clear charging standards according to the complexity of the business, etc. Considering these, Zhongshitong is a good choice.
