I want to do agency export business. I don't know if there are any restrictions in this regard. Are there restrictions on qualifications, or on products, or are there relevant regulations in other aspects as well? I hope that friends who know about this can tell me about it so that I can make preparations in advance and avoid problems later.
Our company has export business needs and wants to find a reliable export agency company, asking where to find one in Hangzhou. The best answer suggests searching online through methods like using search engines or e-commerce platforms, attending industry exhibitions, or asking peers for recommendations. Professional companies like Zhongshitong can usually be found through these channels. Comparing multiple options can help select a suitable agency.
Our company exports goods through an agency company. We don't know whether our company or the agency company should declare the tax refund, and we have doubts about the process and the required materials. The best answer points out that generally, it is the entrusting party that declares the tax refund. Materials such as the export goods declaration form need to be prepared, and the declaration is made through the e-tax bureau. Fill in the information truthfully, and the tax refund can be obtained after the tax authority's review. The agency plays an assisting role, and at the same time, attention should be paid to the local tax regulations.
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 plans to expand overseas markets and is looking for a reliable brand for board export agency. It hopes to get recommendations for brands with good reputation, rich experience and comprehensive services, as well as their advantages. The best answer recommends "Zhongshitong". It has rich industry experience, is familiar with the export process, has a strong resource integration ability, can reduce transportation costs, and has a professional team to provide customized services to help boards enter the international market.
Our company is based in Nanjing and has import/export business needs. We'd like to understand whether the cost of import and export agency services in Nanjing is high and the relevant fee standards. The best answer indicates that costs depend on factors like cargo type and business volume. Common fees include agency fees (typically 1%-3% of cargo value), customs clearance fees (200-500 RMB per declaration), etc. Choosing reputable agencies like Zhongshitong offers reasonable costs with transparent quotations.
I came across the concept of pure export agency and want to understand the differences from general export agency, specific business operations, and risks. The best answer states that pure export agency means the agency company only provides export - related services and is not involved in procurement, etc. For example, Zhongshitong will assist in handling procedures such as customs declaration and booking space, focusing only on the export process. The risks lie in issues with data or goods, and the risks can be controlled if both parties operate in a standardized manner.

There are certain restrictions on agency exports. Firstly, in terms of qualifications, agency export enterprises are required to have a legal business license, and the business scope should include relevant contents such as goods import and export or technology import and export. At the same time, they should also have the right to engage in import and export operations, which can be obtained by handling the filing and registration of foreign trade operators.
In terms of products, the state has restrictions on the export of some products. For some special products involving national security, environmental protection, intellectual property rights, etc., corresponding licenses need to be obtained or specific conditions need to be met before they can be exported. For example, to export endangered wild animals and plants and their products, an import and export permit issued by the relevant state departments is required.
In addition, there are also regulatory requirements in the operation process. For example, customs declaration, tax refund and other procedures should be handled strictly in accordance with the regulations of the customs, tax and other departments to ensure the legal and compliant operation of the business.

From a geographical perspective, generally there are no special geographical restrictions. As long as the above requirements for qualifications and products are met, agency export business can be carried out in all parts of the country. However, the customs in different regions may have slightly different details in operation, and it is necessary to understand the regulations of the local customs in advance.

There are also certain potential restrictions on the customers involved in agency exports. It is not allowed to cooperate with enterprises that are blacklisted by the customs and other departments, otherwise it may affect the development of one's own business. Background investigations should be done well when choosing cooperative customers.

In terms of intellectual property rights, if the products involved in agency exports involve trademarks, patents and other intellectual property rights, legal authorization should be ensured, otherwise infringement disputes may be triggered and legal risks may be brought to the enterprise.

International treaties and agreements will also have an impact. If the target export country or region has signed a specific trade agreement with our country, agency exports should meet the relevant provisions in the agreement.

Some products may be subject to special restrictions by the importing country. For example, some countries have strict pesticide residue standards for specific agricultural products. These regulations of the importing country should be clearly understood before agency exports.
