三、航空货运代理、海关代理等的职责

中⽂意思：除了货运代理外，航运业还产⽣了另外⼀种职业，即海关代理。

海关代理帮助国际托运⼈准备运出货物必要的单证和办理运进货物的海关⼿续。

英⽂原⽂：In almost all countries, incoming freight must go through customs, just like an arriving passenger, before it can be released to the consignee – the person or company receiving the shipment.
注释：arriving passenger: 到港旅客 go through customs 办理海关⼿续release: 释放，放松
中⽂意思：差不多所有国家，⼊境货物在放货给收货⼈——接受货物的个⼈后者公司之前，同到港旅客⼀样，都必须办理海关⼿续。

英⽂原⽂：Freight usually must be opened and inspected in the presence of the consignee or someone who represents him. This is one of the jobs that a customs broker can perform.
注释：in the presence of 在…在场的情况下 represent: 代表

这⼀⼯作可以由海关代理来完成。

Besides developing new business, the sales representatives may also deal regularly with special customers – probably shippers who frequently use air freight service.
