Our company intends to find an export agency to help export products. We would like to know what aspects need to be paid special attention to as the entrusting company of export agency during the whole process? Will there be any risks? How can we protect our own rights and interests? We hope that friends with experience can share relevant information. Thank you.
Our company intends to find an agent to conduct import and export business. We are not clear whether the customs declaration and reporting should be the responsibility of the entrusting party or the agent. We are asking about relevant special regulations and precautions. The best answer states that generally, when it is in the name of the entrusting party and within the scope of entrustment, the entrusting party is responsible; when it is in the name of the agent itself, the agent is responsible. The two parties can also stipulate in the contract, and both should ensure that the declaration is true and accurate, prepare the documents in advance, and understand the process and the definition of responsibilities before conducting the business.
The company conducts agency export business and has doubts about the filling of the declaration of goods for agency export. For example, should the operating unit and the consignor on the customs declaration form be filled with the entrusting party or the agent? What are the filling rules for columns such as trade mode and duty exemption nature? The best answer points out that the operating unit is generally filled with the agent and the entrusting party should be noted. The consignor depends on the actual situation. The trade mode and duty exemption nature should be filled according to the routine and the actual situation of the entrusting party. It is also necessary to accurately fill in the commodity code, etc., and carefully check the information to ensure its authenticity and accuracy.
The company plans to engage in agency exports and inquires about whether the tax rebate process should be handled by the entrusting party or the agent, as well as key considerations. The best answer states that it is generally handled by the entrusting party. For example, if the entrusting party is a manufacturer without import-export rights that entrusts a foreign trade company to export self-produced goods, or if the entrusting party is a manufacturer with import-export rights that entrusts a foreign trade company to export self-produced goods, the entrusting party handles the "exemption, credit, and refund" process. Both parties need to cooperate closely and prepare the required documentation.
Our company intends to find an agent to handle the export tax refund business. We are wondering whether the tax will be refunded to the entrusting party or the agent, and are worried about disputes arising due to the unclear tax refund subject. The best answer is that generally the tax is refunded to the entrusting party, because the entrusting party is the actual exporter and seller of the goods and bears the profits and losses. However, both parties should sign a detailed agency agreement to clarify their rights and obligations, avoid unclear responsibilities, and protect the interests of the entrusting party.
Our company plans to find an agent to export goods. We are not clear whether to declare customs in the name of the entrusting party or the agent, and the differences in the operation of the two ways of declaring customs. The best answer points out that when declaring customs in the name of the entrusting party, the entrusting party needs to have the qualifications and capabilities and have a high degree of control over the process; when declaring customs in the name of the agent, the agent can handle the customs declaration more conveniently and efficiently. The specific choice should be combined with the actual situation of the entrusting party. For example, Zhongshitong can flexibly choose according to the situation of customers.
Our company plans to export products through an agency. We are confused about whether it is the entrusting party or the agency that will receive the foreign exchange during the export agency process, as well as the risks and regulations involved. The best answer points out that usually it is the agency that receives the foreign exchange, because it signs contracts in its own name and is familiar with the procedures and regulations. However, the entrusting party should choose a good agency and clarify the terms of the agreement to protect its own rights and interests.

As the entrusting company of export agency, first of all, it is necessary to select a regular and reputable export agency, such as an export agency with rich experience and a good reputation like Zhongshitong. The signing of the contract is of crucial importance. The rights and obligations of both parties should be stipulated in detail, including the calculation and payment method of the agency fee, the process of goods export, the attribution of the responsibility for customs declaration and inspection, etc.
In terms of goods, it is necessary to ensure that the quality of the goods meets the export standards and the contract stipulations, and accurately provide the goods information so that the export agency can smoothly handle the export formalities. In terms of funds, it is necessary to clarify the subject responsible for bearing the foreign exchange collection risk and understand the settlement nodes of the agency fee. At the same time, the entrusting party should follow up the progress of import and export in a timely manner, maintain close communication with the export agency, and if problems occur, they can be solved in a timely manner to protect its own rights and interests.
