Must - see for Zibo enterprises going global! 5 hidden benefits of export agency

When Mr. Zhang first heard about "export agency", he was worried about a 300,000 - yuan ceramic order. "No import - export right, don't understand the customs declaration process, worried about foreign exchange settlement..." These problems almost made this Zibo entrepreneur give up overseas customers. But today, his products have been sold to 12 countries through professional services - behind this is the transformation opportunity brought by the Zibo export agency service.

Why choose export agency?

For local enterprises in Zibo, building a self - owned foreign trade team means at least 200,000 yuan in annual labor costs. And the agency service provides a full - chain solution:

• Qualification issue: Borrow the import - export right of the agency and complete the filing within 3 working days
• Document processing: A professional team makes 8 core documents such as commercial invoices and packing lists
• Logistics optimization: Integrate the resources of Qingdao Port/Jinan Airport and reduce the transportation cost by 15% - 30%

After Ms. Li's textile factory used the service of Zhongshitong, not only did it avoid the risk of letter - of - credit fraud, but the tax - rebate cycle was also shortened from 90 days to 45 days.

The differential advantages of Zibo services

Unlike the "assembly - line - style" agencies in coastal cities, Zibo service providers understand the local industries better:

• Characteristic industry packages: Custom - made solutions for 7 advantageous industries such as ceramics, glass, and chemicals
• Tax planning: Utilize the policies of cross - border e - commerce comprehensive pilot zones to achieve a 7.2% reduction in the comprehensive tax burden
• Fund security: Adopt Escrow account supervision to ensure the closed - loop circulation of "payment - tax rebate"

When a building materials enterprise developed the Middle East market through agency services, it saved 2 months just in handling the Halal certification.

How to screen high - quality service providers?

It is recommended to evaluate from three dimensions:

• Performance verification: Require the provision of export data of the same industry in the past 12 months
• Risk control system: Confirm whether export credit insurance (EIC) is insured
• Technical ability: Check the docking status of the electronic port system

It is worth noting that local service providers such as Zhongshitong have achieved real - time synchronization of customs declaration data and production ERP.
