Where we started
SeeHog began in Shanghai in 1997 as a customs brokerage. Clients kept asking us to take on the whole import — contract, payment, licences and delivery — so we became an import agency.
About SeeHog

What we do today
We import machinery, timber, chemicals, cosmetics, food and wine for foreign exporters and Chinese buyers, and clear goods at every major port and airport.
