The agency export declaration form usually belongs to the principal. In terms of legal relations, the principal is the owner of the goods and the subject of the export business, entrusting the agent to handle customs declaration and other related matters. The agent only performs the corresponding customs declaration procedures as entrusted. From a practical perspective, the principal needs to use the declaration form to handle important operations such as export tax refund. If the declaration form does not belong to the principal, the principal will face many difficulties in subsequent tax declarations, foreign exchange write - off and other links. For example, in export tax refund, the tax department needs to review whether the enterprise meets the tax refund conditions based on materials such as the declaration form. As the party actually exporting the goods, the principal should hold the declaration form to complete the tax refund process. The main responsibility of the agent is to assist the principal in completing the customs declaration action. After the declaration form has completed its customs declaration mission, it should naturally be retained by the principal for subsequent operations.
However, in actual operations, both parties can also agree on the ownership and usage of the declaration form through a clear agreement. But in the absence of special agreement, the declaration form belongs to the principal.
