The Secret Foreign Trade Tricks Secretly Used by Wenzhou Bosses

"Last year, Mr. Zhang was still the boss of a Wenzhou leather shoe factory. Now, his products are on the shelves of Galeries Lafayette in Paris - all these changes are due to the fact that he found the right import and export trade agent." In Wenzhou, a city famous for its business acumen, import and export trade agents are becoming the secret weapons for more and more enterprises to enter the international market.

As one of the most active regions of China's private economy, Wenzhou has more than 120,000 foreign trade-related enterprises. But Ms. Li's experience is quite representative: "We originally wanted to handle the export procedures by ourselves. As a result, because we were not familiar with the EU CE certification standards, three whole containers of goods were returned." The value of professional agents is precisely reflected in:

• Compliance Guarantee: Familiar with the trade regulations of more than 200 countries/regions around the world
• Cost Optimization: Reduce the comprehensive costs of logistics, customs declaration, etc. through the scale effect
• Risk Control: Professional services such as letter of credit review, exchange rate hedging, etc.

The market research of Zhongshitong shows that high-quality agents usually have:

• More than 10 years of industry precipitation
• Service networks covering major trading areas
• Digital systems for real-time tracking
• Multilingual service teams
• Transparent charging structures

A certain bathroom enterprise completed the following tasks in only 18 months through the channel resources of the agent:

• The product certification cycle was shortened by 60%
• Entered 5 emerging markets
• The export volume increased by 300%

With the application of blockchain technology, now through mobile apps, you can:

• Real-time track the customs clearance status of goods
• Automatically generate compliance documents
• Intelligently match the optimal logistics solution

When global trade barriers and opportunities coexist, professional agents are like navigators in commercial voyages.
