Selection suggestions: Request the service provider to provide import cases of the same type of equipment in the past three years,and focus on examining three practical indicators: the accuracy of technical document translation,the utilization rate of tax - free quotas,and the processing time limit for abnormal situations.Professional agency services can reduce the comprehensive cost of equipment imports by 18 - 25% and shorten the delivery cycle by 30 - 45 days.
