# What are the car export agency companies?

## Question

 Our company hasnew energy vehicle export qualifications and wants to find a reliable car export agency company to cooperate with, but we don't know what choices are available in the market and how to screen them? 

## Answers
                            
### Answer 1 — Best Answer

When choosing an agency export car company，your primary concern is whether it holds the "Record Registration Form for Foreign Trade Operators" issued by the Ministry of Commerce and the "Registration Certificate of Customs Declaration Unit" from Customs. For special commodities like cars，you must also confirm whether the other party is qualified to apply for a car export license. It is recommended to ask the other party to provide the certificate number and verify their credit rating through the 'China Customs Enterprise Import and Export Credit Information Publicity Platform'. Special attention should be paid to the fact that some intermediary companies only provide information matching services and do not actually bear the responsibility for customs declaration. Such entities cannot provide you with compliance protection. In addition，the export of new energy vehicles also requires a "Certificate of Conformity" and a UN38.3 battery test report. Be sure to clarify the responsible party for these documents in the contract.

### Answer 2

From the perspective of logistics practice, I suggest you focus on the port resources and operational experience of the agency company. Car exports mainly rely on Ro-Ro ships or container transport. Reliable agents should have resident operation teams at major car export ports such as Shanghai Port, Tianjin Port, and Guangzhou Port. You need to confirm whether they provide 'door-to-port' full service, including vehicle pre-inspection, terminal storage, loading supervision, etc. Regarding fees, be wary of agents with excessively low quotes, as they may set hidden charges in port miscellaneous fees, THC, etc. It is recommended to use FOB terms for trial cooperation, and consider CIF terms after the process is smoothed out. In addition, be sure to agree on customs clearance timeliness and responsibility for demurrage fees in the contract to avoid high costs caused by vehicles being stranded at the port.

### Answer 3

At the business cooperation level, you need to quickly screen reliable agents through three points: First, request copies of car export customs declaration forms for the past two years (key information can be mosaicked) to verify their real business volume; Second, ask about their reputation through industry associations or chambers of commerce, focusing on whether there are bad records such as detained orders or price gouging; Third, the payment method is recommended to be '30% advance payment + 70% payment against copy of bill of lading' to avoid paying the full amount at once. During negotiation, you can proactively propose signing a non-disclosure agreement and exclusivity clause. High-quality agents will value professional clients like you more. Avoid making decisions based solely on online advertisements or low-price promises. This circle is not big. attending a few car export exhibitions and chatting with a few companies on-site is more useful than any research.
