An Import Export Agent?

Import Export agent is a person or a company who acts as a middleman between a company that has a product it wants to export and a foreign company that would like to import that product. In other words, an Import agent is a firm (or individual) that undertakes most of the exporting activities on behalf of an exporter and gets paid a commission in return. He helps to set up the transaction and makes sure that everything goes smoothly, which often includes the shipment of the product. In exchange for his help with these transactions, he usually receives a commission.

The export agent may have to do duties such as traveling abroad, doing research, preparing an export plan, advising the exporter on how to adapt their marketing mix, making contact with potential sellers, negotiating deals with buyers, taking care of all promotional activities, handling logistics and documentation, and much more. Of these tasks, the export agent will do on the importer’s behalf. The importer normally pays the agent. This can translate into a significant amount of money when a person is working with multiple companies or even a single company that has many products to export.

There are many types of products that an export agent may handle. For example, he may deal with the export of everything from light bulbs to furnishings. Some people in this field help companies export a wide range of products while others may specialize in a single type of product. The choice is usually up to the agent, with one exception. If exporting a particular product is prohibited by law, he cannot legally help to arrange its exportation.

An export agent also has some choices about how involved he is in the export process. For example, some are minimally involved. They match buyers with sellers and help to make sure the sale is complete. Then, they collect their commission. Others, on the other hand, handle not only the transaction but also the shipping of the product from one country to another. In many cases, this involves arranging freight with a company that handles overseas shipments.
