I.Export agentWhat are the core principles for company naming?

Based on 20 years of international trade service experience, we have summarized five essential elements for professional naming:

• Clear industry attributes: It is recommended to include internationally recognized industry roots such as "Global," "Freight," and "Trade," for example, "TransGlobal Logistics."
• Easy-to-recognize pronunciation: Avoid complex structures with more than three syllables, as "Xianglong" is less communicable than "Sunway."
• Cultural compatibility: Requires multilingual semantic screening, as some companies have lost South American markets due to Spanish language ambiguities
• Brand extension space: Reserve naming flexibility for future expansioncustoms clearanceand value-added services such as tax rebates
• Legal compliance: Must meet both Chinas Regulations on the Administration of Enterprise Name Registration and the registration requirements of major export countries

According to the analysis of the customs AEO certification enterprise database, we found three high-frequency errors:

• Excessive localization: For example, "Shunda Foreign Trade" struggles to establish an international professional image.
