Integrated Import & Export Trade Agency
Why Integrated Import and Export Agency Matters
Today, the success of any company, government agency, school, hospital, or research institute can depend on how well it outsources.
In step with this trend, companies, government agencies, schools, hospitals, and research institutes now entrust the import and export of their goods, equipment, and raw materials to agency firms.
Until now, however, trade agency, freight forwarding (air and sea freight), customs clearance, bonded warehousing, and domestic transportation have each been contracted out separately. This left little room to cut import and export costs, and because each area was handled on its own, work became less efficient and was often delayed.
For this reason, companies, government agencies, schools, hospitals, and research institutes are now signing import/export agency and forwarding contracts with Cheon Woo Global, a specialist that provides trade agency, freight forwarding (air and sea freight), customs clearance, bonded warehousing, and domestic transportation as a one-stop service. As a result, they save time and costs, work more efficiently, and reduce their tax burden, including customs duty reductions, through accurate duty rates and FTA application.
Advantages of Integrated Import & Export Trade Agency
- Our one-stop online system lets us enter progress updates as they happen, so you can see the current status of your order at a glance.
- In the past, trade agency, freight forwarding (air and sea freight), customs clearance, bonded warehousing, and domestic transportation each required a separate contract. Now you can cover them all with a single contract with Cheon Woo Global.
- When no offer agent in Korea carries what you need, you have to buy directly from overseas, which can be difficult if you are unfamiliar with the process. Cheon Woo Global handles it for you, from price quotes, payment methods, pickup, international shipping, and customs clearance to purchasing agency and full trade consulting, so you can focus on your own work.
Import Agency Process: Example of a Duty Reduction for Academic Research
- Purchase Request
The university submits a purchase request to Cheon Woo Global through its own system for the equipment selected by its professors
- Order Confirmation and Placement
Confirm the remaining equipment details and place the order
- L/C Opening and T/T
Open an L/C or pay by T/T (telegraphic transfer)
- Shipping Schedule Check
Regularly check order progress, including production and shipping schedules.
- Academic Research Recommendation
Submit the duty reduction documents to the Korea Association of Machinery Industry (KOAMI) and obtain its recommendation in advance.
- Shipment
Choose air or sea freight, then ship the goods through a designated partner.
- Research Fund Payment
On arrival in Korea, move the cargo under bond to a warehouse, proceed with customs clearance, and invoice the payment amount
- Customs Clearance and Delivery
Clear customs with the recommendation letter attached (schools receive an 80% reduction of customs duty and VAT), then transport and deliver the goods to the requested location.
- Settlement
Settle the advance payment against receipts for the payment and all customs clearance costs, and send the documents.
