Export agents connect domestic companies with international shipping services. This could be a Chinese brand looking to export its products overseas, or a foreign brand looking to source from China and export products worldwide.
Chinese export agents act as an intermediary in the purchase and sale of goods between local and foreign companies.
Similar to a distributor, an export agent connects suppliers, vendors, etc.
Moreover, the specific services depend on the client. For example, in a management company, a Chinese export agent handles overseas marketing, overseas distributors, etc.
Meanwhile, in an export trading company, the agent conducts market research for local and foreign companies.
Export can be indirect or direct. Indirect export requires an “intermediary” such as a distributor, export agent, commission agent, purchasing agent, etc. Direct export means that the company exports through its own resources. Limorebrother is your indirect export agent to China.
China export agents require less investment and less risk than direct export. Your company does not have to set up an export department, overseas sales department, or establish contacts with foreigners. In addition, since international marketing agents bring their experience and services to the relationship, the seller tends to make fewer mistakes.
Limorebrother will help you optimize your export process to China.
Basically, you will have to pay import duties and taxes, as export duties for Chinese goods are low.
However, there are 107 products for which businesses must pay export duties. We will tell you whether your products fall under this rule.
We will examine your products and provide you with a full list of import and export duties that you will have to pay. In addition, we will tell you about the necessary documents.
You may need an export license. This is required for a foreign trade company that wants to export goods from China. However, it may not be required if the goods are shipped under the FOB (Free On Board) Incoterm. An export license or permit is a document that contains all the information about the exporter, buyer, cargo, and delivery. This document is issued by the Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM).
In addition, you will need a bill of lading, packing list, health certificates, and various invoices.
