An enterprise with import and export rights can act as an agent for import. First of all, having import and export rights means that the enterprise has the qualification to engage in activities related to the import and export of goods, and agency import is also within its business scope.
When acting as an agent for import, a detailed agency import agreement should be signed with the principal to clarify the rights and obligations of both parties, including the price of the goods, agency fees, transportation, customs declaration and other expenses.
At the same time, it is necessary to accurately grasp the relevant information of the imported goods, such as the commodity code, declaration elements, etc., so as to declare customs smoothly. In terms of foreign exchange settlement, it should be operated in accordance with the regulations of the national foreign exchange management to ensure the compliance of capital transactions. In addition, attention should also be paid to whether the imported goods require special qualifications or licenses. For example, food import may require a food business license, etc. In short, as long as it is operated in accordance with the regulations, an enterprise with import and export rights can completely carry out the agency import business smoothly.
