With the rapid development of foreign trade of Yiwu, more and more Yiwu agent (yiwu agent) business, accompanied by the increasing risks and disputes of the import and export agency business. Therefore, foreign trade enterprise with import and export agent, Yiwu business, pay full attention to their risk, enhance risk management agency business in order to avoid causing significant losses to the enterprise.

The following summarize the import and export agent, Yiwu has risk characteristics.
Yiwu Export agent (yiwu export agent) is different from the other agency business, because the import and export agent for foreign, agencies need to import and export contracts signed with foreign investors, if disputes arise in the performance of the contract, import and export agents should first take full responsibility. In general, Yiwu trade agency received only 1% to 5% of the agency fee, but foreign, transport companies, customs and foreign exchange Authority to assume full responsibility and obligation. Import agents regardless of whether the payment received by commission merchants, as long as foreign delivery agent must pay. If you encounter financial difficulties of domestic commission merchants, or even bankruptcy, insolvency, the agency will lose.

In addition, also take on the customs, banking, foreign exchange authority, the Inland Revenue Department supervision.
