To act as a pea export agent, first, you need to find a professional and reliable agency company, such as Zhongmaoda, which has a good reputation and rich experience.
Secondly, prepare relevant documents, such as a commercial invoice and a packing list, which record detailed information about the quantity, quality, and value of the peas; also a bill of lading, which is the certificate of ownership of the goods; in addition, peas are agricultural products and may require a phytosanitary certificate to prove compliance with the importing country's phytosanitary requirements.
When looking for an agency company, you should examine its qualifications, see if it is licensed to conduct export agency business, and understand its past cases and reputation in exporting agricultural products.
Regarding fees, different agency companies have different charges. Generally, they include agency fees, which may be charged as a certain percentage of the value of the goods, and there may be other miscellaneous fees such as document processing fees. The specifics need to be negotiated and confirmed with the agency company.
