Who should I contact for a destination port agent for cargo export? Any reliable recommendations?
Our company has cargo to export but has little experience with destination port agents. We need a professional agent to handle customs clearance, pickup, warehousing, and other tasks after the cargo arrives at the destination port. Not sure where to find one or what makes a reliable agent. Can anyone give some advice? Where is the best place to look for a destination port agent?
