I am the person in charge of a parallel import automobile trading enterprise in Weihai. Recently, I received an SUV export order from a Middle East client, and the goods need to be shipped from Weihai Port. I have never handled automobile import and export agency business before, so I do not know which reliable agency companies are available in Weihai.

I am worried that institutions with incomplete qualifications will cause customs declaration delays, soaring demurrage, or foreign exchange settlement problems. I am looking for an agency that covers the whole process of customs declaration, logistics and tax refund, which preferably has more than 5 years of operation experience at Weihai Port, can help us avoid compliance risks and optimize the cost structure.
