The duplicate of the organization code certificate is an important certificate identifying the identity of the enterprise's organization. When applying for the import and export operation right, it can help relevant departments accurately understand the organizational structure of the enterprise.

For example, when dealing with departments such as the customs and commodity inspection, the accurate organization code can make information communication and business handling smoother. The enterprise should pay attention to keeping this duplicate properly and provide a clear and valid copy when handling.

IV. Articles of association

The articles of association detail important matters such as the operation rules of the enterprise and the rights and obligations of shareholders. When applying for the import and export operation right, relevant departments will check the articles of association, to understand whether the decision-making mechanism and equity structure of the enterprise are stable and reasonable, which is related to the stability and sustainability of the enterprise in the process of carrying out import and export business.

The copy should be clear and distinguishable, and should be copied in accordance with relevant requirements. Generally, both the front and back sides need to be copied.

VI. Bank account opening permit

The bank account opening permit indicates that the enterprise has opened a legal settlement account in the bank. In import and export business, the capital transactions are frequent and the amount may be large.
