What are the procedures for exporting products through an agent?
Our company is doing export agency for the first time and wants to entrust a foreign trade agency to export a batch of chemical products, but we have no idea about the necessary procedures.

We are a small and medium-sized manufacturing company and want to use German export agents to enter the EU market. We've found many German export agencies online, but we're not sure which ones are reliable. We're most concerned about encountering shell companies or those with unethical practices, which could result in both lost goods and unpaid payments. How can we screen and evaluate these agencies? Are there any specific verification methods?

Jan 26, 2026 at 08:031493 AnswersWhat are the frozen goods export agency companies?
We mainly deal in frozen prepared foods and want to expand into the Middle East market, but the company has no import and export rights. We contacted three or four frozen goods export agency companies online. Some quoted very low but couldn't explain the specific service process, and some promised a package deal but were unwilling to provide qualification certificates. I would like to ask experts: How to judge whether an agency company is truly professional? Which links are most prone to problems in cooperation? In case the goods are detained at the port due to incomplete documents, how should responsibility and loss be defined?
