The main steps of importing products on behalf of others are as follows: Firstly, it is the preliminary communication and signing of the contract. Clearly define the product information, agency scope, fees, etc. with the entrusting party and sign the agency import agreement. Then, make preparations for import. Understand the regulatory conditions of the product, such as whether an import license is required, etc., and ask the entrusting party to prepare basic materials such as a copy of the business license and the tax registration certificate. Then, it is the customs declaration and inspection. Zhongshitong, relying on its professional knowledge and experience, sorts out invoices, packing lists, bills of lading and other documents to declare to the customs and assists the inspection and quarantine department to do a good job in inspection and quarantine work. After the goods are released, conduct transportation, distribution and settlement, deliver the goods to the entrusting party and settle the relevant fees. Although there are many links in the whole process, as long as one is familiar with the rules and makes sufficient preparations, it can also be successfully completed.
