The head of a foreign trade company inquired, having heard that export agents are not allowed, and wanted to know the actual situation and restrictions. In fact, export agents are currently allowed and are a common mode of foreign trade operations. However, restrictions may apply in specific circumstances such as goods prohibited from export by the country, goods without export licenses, or enterprises with serious illegal and irregular records.
