I am the owner of a camel hair quilt manufacturer in Hebei. I recently received an order of 5,000 camel hair quilts from a German client. This is my first export business, so I am not confident about the whole process.

I heard that export involves customs declaration, logistics and tax refund, with too many links that I am afraid to mess up, such as customs detention after the goods arrive at the port, or long delay in getting tax refund. When looking for an agent, I worry about opaque charges and hidden costs.

Besides, the client requires settlement in RMB via CIPS, and I am not sure if the agent can handle relevant compliance issues. Now the client is pushing for delivery, and I am so anxious that I cannot sleep at night. I would like to ask what practical problems can camel hair quilt export agents solve for me? Are there any pitfalls that I must avoid?
