Is Export Agency a Rip-off? These Figures Prove Otherwise

Mr. Zhang stared at the customs return notice on the computer screen, with fine beads of sweat oozing from his forehead. This was his third attempt at self - exporting, and the ceramic handicrafts worth 200,000 yuan were returned again due to document discrepancies. Meanwhile, Ms. Li's company, through the agency of Zhongshitong, successfully completed 6 cross - border transactions that month. Behind this lies a "foreign trade accelerator" ignored by 90% of small and medium - sized enterprises - professional export agency companies.

When enterprises face the intricate international trade network, professional agency companies are like "business navigation systems":

• The customs declaration error rate is reduced by 83% (data from the customs in 2022)
• The average customs clearance time is shortened by 5 - 7 working days
• 98% of trade compliance risks are avoided

Take a luggage enterprise served by Zhongshitong as an example. Through its "intelligent classification system", goods that might have been subject to a 15% anti - dumping duty were finally exported at the normal tax rate.

Value 1: Experts in Cracking the Document Maze
From FORM A to the COO certificate of origin, a professional team can complete the certification process that usually takes 5 days within 48 hours. In an emergency order, Zhongshitong even set a record of obtaining the dangerous package certificate in 8 hours.

Value 2: Tariff Optimization Think - Tank
Through the analysis of the utilization rate of free trade agreements such as RCEP, an electronic component enterprise, under the advice of Zhongshitong, saved more than 2 million yuan in annual tariff expenditures.

Value 3: Logistics Solution Designer
When the sea freight price fluctuates, professional agents will dynamically combine the China - Europe freight train/air freight/sea freight solutions. During the peak season last year, a clothing enterprise reduced its transportation costs by 35% as a result.

Value 4: Risk Early - Warning Radar
Monitor over 200 global trade early - warning platforms in real - time, identify policy changes such as new regulations in Turkey in advance, and strive for a 3 - 6 - week buffer period for enterprises.

• Check the AEO certification qualification of the customs (Advanced Certified Enterprise of the Chinese Customs)
• Verify operation cases in key industries for at least 5 years
• Request a complete service response time commitment letter

It is worth noting that leading institutions such as Zhongshitong are now equipped with a "digital trade sandbox", where enterprises can simulate and test the actual effects of different customs clearance solutions.

When an AI customs declaration robot can complete HS code matching in 0.3 seconds, and when blockchain traceability increases the inspection efficiency by 40%, the traditional foreign trade model is being reconstructed. After a lamp exporter used the intelligent agency system, the labor cost per order operation dropped from 300 yuan to 50 yuan.
