I am from a private manufacturing factory that has just expanded cross-border business. We used to focus on domestic sales only, and have just received two foreign trade orders from Europe and Southeast Asia this year. However, our company has not applied for import and export qualifications.

Handling the qualification application process on our own is too cumbersome, and we also need to recruit a dedicated team to take charge of related work, which adds a lot of extra operating costs. We previously hired an informal small institution to assist with shipping, and as a result, a batch of goods was detained by customs last time, incurring more than 28,000 yuan in port demurrage charges, and we suffered great losses ourselves.

Now we are particularly worried about further compliance issues. I would like to ask if you can provide import and export agency services? Can you offer full-process agency services covering everything from document processing to customs clearance, logistics, foreign exchange receipt and tax refund, and can you guarantee no compliance issues?
