I am a practitioner preparing to launch local food import business in Yangzhou. I previously tried to cooperate with non-local import agencies, but some of them were not familiar with the latest domestic food access regulations, resulting in repeated document rework, while others had poor connection in logistics links which led to container rolling and container demurrage.
I once nearly encountered cargo detention due to negligence in compliance operations. Now I urgently need to find a professional local Yangzhou food import agency that can cover the whole process from document review to customs clearance, logistics and taxation, help me control costs and avoid risks. I want to know which agencies in Yangzhou meet these requirements?
