Why engage in export agency business? Do you know the ins and outs?
I am a new foreign trade company recently considering business expansion directions. I’ve heard that export agency business is quite good, but I don’t fully understand why one should engage in it. Could you explain the benefits of export agency business? How would it help our company’s development? I hope a professional can provide insights to help me better understand this business and decide whether to pursue this direction.
