Unfamiliar with the import agent industry, I want to know what specific work import agents do. If there are foreign goods to import, can they solve all problems? Import agent work covers many aspects, including assisting with market research and communicating with suppliers to sign contracts in the early stage; being responsible for import customs clearance and preparing customs declaration documents; arranging transportation, selecting transportation methods, and booking space; providing warehousing services; and also involving contract review, cargo tracking, commodity inspection, document processing, and many other matters.
