Newly responsible for the company's import freight forwarding business, quotation details are often unclear and inaccurate, leading to customer inquiries. The best answer suggests that the quotation detail should clearly list basic freight, surcharges, customs clearance fees, etc., with each item having a name, amount, and brief explanation, preferably presented in a table for easy understanding.
Where to find reliable Beijing import freight forwarders?
Resolved
Our company has some import cargo transportation needs recently and would like to find a reliable import freight forwarder in Beijing. I haven't dealt with this before and don't know where to start. I'd like to ask where I can find a suitable import freight forwarder in Beijing? I hope to get some reliable channels, and it would be great if you could briefly explain how to judge whether they are reliable, so that I can have a reference and avoid detours.
