Generally, the following types of materials are required for agency export. Firstly, basic materials. A copy of the company's business license is essential, which is used to prove the company's legal business identity; a copy of the tax registration certificate is used for tax-related matters; and a copy of the bank account opening permit is convenient for capital transactions. Secondly, product-related materials include a detailed product description covering product name, specifications, models, uses, etc., so that the agency company can accurately understand the product characteristics. There are also product pictures to clearly display the product appearance. Thirdly, documentary materials related to the export business, such as commercial invoices that record detailed information such as the value of the goods; packing lists that explain the packaging of the goods. In addition, the customs declaration power of attorney needs to be stamped with the official seal to authorize the agency company to carry out customs declaration operations. When preparing materials, it is necessary to ensure the authenticity, integrity, and accuracy of the materials to avoid affecting the export process due to material problems.
