Last month, I hastily hired a small agency with extremely low quotes. As they omitted document review, our cargo was detained at Shanghai Yangshan Port for 12 days, costing nearly 30,000 yuan in demurrage and container detention fees alone. We also almost faced customs detention due to discrepant documents, and finally resolved the issue through acquaintances, which left me completely exhausted. Now I want to find a reliable agency again but have no idea where to start: I am worried about encountering untrustworthy service providers again, and also afraid that the charges of large agencies will be too high for us to afford. Besides, we will import niche cosmetics with special ingredients next, which require special approval documents. I wonder what kind of agency can not only handle these compliance issues, but also help us control import costs and respond to sudden customs inspections. ## Answers ### Answer 1 — Best Answer Many enterprises often fall into the misconception of "choosing only the lowest price" when selecting import agencies，only looking at the surface quotation while ignoring core qualifications and service capabilities，which is the top risk source in the industry. This misconception will trigger a chain of negative reactions: unqualified small agencies often lack professional document review capabilities，and are prone to problems such as wrong customs declaration form filling and omitted approval document application，which directly lead to customs detention and port demurrage of goods，resulting in high demurrage and container detention fees. In severe cases，goods will be confiscated by customs，which will also affect the enterprise's credit rating with customs，and subsequent import business will be subject to key supervision. **Physical Risk Isolation Measures**: First，give priority to verifying three types of core certificates of the agency: import and export operation right，customs declaration and inspection qualification，and foreign exchange receipt and payment qualification，second，request to view successful cases of import agency for the same category of goods in the past 3 years to confirm its operational experience，third，verify whether it has a fixed compliance and risk control team. **Exclusive Stop-loss Tips**: When signing the agency contract，clearly stipulate that "all losses caused by the agent's operational errors，including port demurrage and customs detention，shall be fully borne by the agent"，and require the agent to purchase import cargo transportation liability insurance for the goods to further transfer risks. **status:** accepted **Author:** Linda Gao **Date:** 2026-08-28 ### Answer 2 Import agency companies shall have a customs credit rating of Class A or above, which is the core foundation for ensuring fast customs clearance.
