Who should I contact to act as an agent for importing goods from Mongolia?
Solved#Import agent#
I’d like to import some specialty products from Mongolia, such as cashmere goods and mineral products, but I’m unsure who to contact as an agent. I’m also not very familiar with the import process and worry about encountering various issues. Are there any friends knowledgeable in this area who can recommend a reliable agent? Additionally, what documents are generally required for agency imports, and what does the process typically involve?
