Here are the detailed filling points for the agency import customs declaration form:

First of all, the operating unit should be filled with the enterprise or unit within China that signs and executes the import trade contract, that is, the principal with the import and export right. If not, fill in the agent. The consignee is usually filled with the unit that uses or consumes the actually imported goods, generally the final receiving enterprise.

For commodity information, accurately fill in the commodity name, specifications and models, quantity, country of origin, etc., which must be consistent with the actual goods and relevant documents. For example, the commodity name should be standardized and common names should not be used. The quantity should be based on the actual situation, and pay attention not to make mistakes in unit conversion.

Regarding transportation information, fill in the mode of transportation, such as sea transportation, air transportation, etc., as well as the name of the means of transport and the voyage number. These should be accurately filled according to transportation documents such as the bill of lading. In short, when filling out the customs declaration form, carefully check all information to ensure accuracy.

The operating unit should be filled with the principal who has the import and export right. If the principal doesn't have the right, fill in the agent. The consignee is the actual enterprise that receives and uses the goods. Don't fill it wrong.
