I am a purchasing specialist of an import trading company. Last month, for a batch of precision sensors we imported from Germany, when going through customs clearance at Huangpu Port, the small agency we cooperated with got our documents rejected due to document inconsistency, which also led to more than 2,000 RMB of port detention fees. Now we have another batch of medical equipment to import, and I really do not want to encounter such problems again.

Which Huangpu import customs declaration agency is a good choice? I need a service that can take full control of document review, customs price verification and on-site inspection throughout the process, help me optimize costs, avoid further port detention and cargo seizure, and preferably have a team that realizes cross-port collaboration nationwide, since we may have business at other ports in the future.
