Features: With the continuous deepening of reform and opening-up, China has achieved remarkable and world-renowned results in foreign trade. By 1997, China's total import and export volume had ranked among the top ten in the world. Before the reform and opening-up, there were only over 100 enterprises engaged in foreign trade in China. Now, the number has reached more than 180,000. In the past, there was only one company, China Foreign Trade Transportation Company, engaged in international freight transportation agency. Now, there are over 1,600 such companies. International freight agency has now formed a new service industry in China and is developing towards the logistics industry. Due to the rapid development of this industry, its practitioners come from all over the country, and many business personnel have not received professional training and are mostly moving forward by trial and error. However, this industry involves a wide range of knowledge and has a strong professional nature. Any ambiguity may cause significant economic losses to the consignees. Therefore, the majority of freight agents urgently need professional books that they can refer to. Without any pretense of modesty, this book is specially compiled for reference.
