An agent is a company (or person) acting on behalf of or representing another company. There is a lot of documentation (paperwork) involved in arranging the transportation of exported goods. An agent who handles the documentation and transportation, of exported goods is called an import agent, or a forwarding agent The forwarding agent arranges the transportation of the goods from the factory or warehouse to the quay or to the airport. Goods are sometimes stored in a warehouse until they are sent (or dispatched) to the buyer. When they arrive in the importing country they may then be stored in a warehouse until the buyer has paid for them. The warehouse charges are called storage costs.

The import agent is responsible for arranging the despatch/ dispatch of the goods from their point of arrival in the importing country (the quay or the airport) to the buyer and for arranging the documentation The main documents involved in exporting goods are the Bill of Lading (if the goods are shipped) or Airway bill (if the goods are dispatched by air), the customs declaration form, the insurance certificate and sometimes a certificate of origin. The Bill of Lading has three main functions: (1) it is a receipt for the goods signed by the shipping company; (2) it is a contract between the shipping company and the forwarding agent; and (3) it is the title document which proves ownership of the goods. The contract between the forwarding agent and the airline is called the Airway bill. The form which shows the value of the goods for taxation purposes is called the customs declaration form. The document which proves where the goods were originally sent from is called the certificate оf origin.

Before an import agent agrees to represent an exporting company, he must be sure that the company can guarantee continuous production, that they can maintain high quality, that they can provide an adequate supply of spare parts and that they will keep delivery dates. In other words, when a company guarantee continuous production they promise that production will not stop; its products will always be good (the company must maintain high quality); if any of the goods need replacement parts, the company will be able to supply enough spare parts; and the company will deliver the goods when promised (they must keep delivery dates).
