How to check import and export agent codes? Looking for reliable methods!
Resolved
Our company is recently involved in import and export business and needs to check import and export agent codes. I haven't dealt with this before and have no idea where to start. I'd like to ask everyone if there are any authoritative and convenient query channels? The information found online is very mixed, and I'm afraid of finding the wrong method and wasting time. I hope friends who know can share the specific query methods, preferably with detailed steps, thank you!

To inquire about import and export agent codes, a more authoritative channel is through the China Customs Enterprise Import and Export Credit Information Publicity Platform. The specific steps are as follows: First, open your browser and enter the website of the China Customs Enterprise Import and Export Credit Information Publicity Platform.

If you know the customs registration code of the import and export agent company, you can also enter it directly. After entering the information, click the search button, and the system will display information about the relevant enterprise, which will include the import and export agent code. In addition, you can also call the inquiry hotline of the local customs, provide relevant enterprise information, and ask the staff to assist you with the query. You can also go to the local customs service window to inquire in person and obtain the code information.
These methods can ensure that accurate import and export agent codes are obtained.

However, this may require the company to have an Electronic Port operator card; if not, the operation might be limited.
