Dealing with foreign logistics and customs brokers, more than 80% of enterprises or individuals will choose, then how to choose a suitable and good "customs broker"？Pay attention to three points:
I. Customs regulations
What content needs to be trained in customs declaration service for employees？Who provides the training and what is the schedule？Has the customs audited the customs declarants？If so, how effective？Whether the applicant has received any penalties, and if so, what kind of regulations have been violated？What is the relationship between the applicant and the local customs officer？What does the customs broker do in terms of enforcing customs regulations, cooperating with customs, correctly executing entry declarations and paying taxes on time？Please note that for companies looking for a customs broker for the first time, most large port and city customs brokers belong to a customs declaration committee。These two specialized committees provide unique resources for pursuing customs cooperation。
2. Knowledge and experience
Whether the customs declaration agent has directly handled the classification of goods in the industry you are engaged in？If your product requires special documents (such as prohibiting re-export of clothing, etc.), can the customs broker successfully meet these requirements？Whether adequate training is available to meet complex assessment and documentation requirements？What commercial relations does the Customs have with warehousing, transportation and other enterprises related to logistics services？How well does Customs handle multiple ports？How well do employees who are accountable to customers do their jobs？How long have you been practicing？Can the customs agent provide any successful import cases under similar circumstances？
3. Liaising with internal business and customers
Whether the customs agent has a policy and operation manual for handling customs declaration business？How does the declarant handle the declaration record request？Whether the customs declaration staff has multiple customs agents for each customer？For the importer, if there is a lack of key import documents in the customs clearance process, what policy does the customs broker adopt？But when it comes to making a decision, does the customs agent ask for more information or just make a decision based on the documents available？
