Is Export Agency the Greatest Shortcut for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises to Go Global?

When Mr. Zhang received the inquiry from a European customer for the first time, the annual revenue of his small hardware processing factory was less than 5 million yuan. Language barriers, customs declaration procedures, international settlement... These unfamiliar fields almost made him give up the order. It was not until he contacted the export agency services that he realized that expanding overseas markets could be so "light-hearted".

According to statistics, 60% of small and medium-sized enterprises in China stop at the domestic market due to lack of foreign trade experience. Export agency institutions are like professional "overseas guides", providing these enterprises with:

• Customs Clearance and Logistics Solution: Handle the whole process of customs declaration, commodity inspection, transportation, etc.
• Risk Firewall: Avoid potential risks such as exchange rate fluctuations and letter of credit fraud
• Cost Optimizer: Reduce the single-ticket logistics cost by up to 40% through economies of scale

As an industry benchmark enterprise, Zhongshitong's unique agency service system has helped more than 2,000 small and medium-sized enterprises successfully go global:

• Early Stage: Conduct compliance reviews of target markets to avoid technical trade barriers
• Middle Stage: Intelligently match overseas warehouse networks and shorten the delivery cycle to 72 hours
• Late Stage: Provide buyer credit investigation and accounts receivable management services

Ms. Li, the person in charge of a textile factory in Zhejiang, achieved three key breakthroughs through agency services:

• Expanded the export countries from 2 to 17
• Reduced the customs declaration error rate from 15% to 0.3%
• Increased the profit margin of international business by 22 percentage points

The current mainstream agency methods include:

• Full-process Trusteeship: Suitable for enterprises with no foundation
• Modularized Service: Purchase single-link support as needed
• Cross-border SaaS + Agency: Digital management + offline execution
