Agent customs declaration is not equivalent to agent export. Agent export means that the trustee (such as Zhongshitong) handles relevant procedures for the export of goods under the entrustment of the principal, including signing export contracts, customs declaration, foreign exchange receipt, verification, tax rebate, etc. It focuses more on the operation of the entire export trade process.
Agent customs declaration only refers to the act that a professional customs declaration enterprise (such as Zhongshitong) accepts the entrustment of the consignor or consignee of import and export goods and handles customs declaration business with the customs in the name of the principal or itself, focusing on the specific link of goods clearance.
If a third - party is sought to handle export matters, the agent export service is more comprehensive, covering from trade negotiation, goods transportation to final settlement and tax rebate, etc. Agent customs declaration is mainly responsible for preparing the documents required for customs declaration, declaring to the customs, assisting in inspections, etc., to ensure the smooth clearance of goods. Therefore, the two are significantly different, and enterprises should choose appropriate services according to their own needs.

Agent customs declaration is just one link in the agent export process. Agent export has a broader scope, such as finding customers, signing contracts, etc., which are not involved in agent customs declaration.

They are not the same thing. Agent export involves the trade level, while agent customs declaration is a customs clearance operation. Agent customs declaration is more professional in terms of customs declaration.

Of course not. Agent export includes many processes, and agent customs declaration is only the part that deals with customs affairs and cannot be simply equated.

The two are different. Agent customs declaration is only responsible for the customs declaration action, while agent export is a complete set of export services.

Agent customs declaration serves for the clearance of goods, while agent export is the whole process from goods preparation to the completion of export, with a relatively large difference.

No. Agent export includes agent customs declaration, but also involves other important aspects such as foreign exchange receipt.
