The following procedures are generally required for export agency:
First, sign an export agency agreement to clarify the rights and obligations of the consignor and the agent, including key terms such as detailed information of the exported goods and agency fees.
Secondly, the consignor should provide relevant goods information, such as commercial invoices, packing lists, etc., to describe in detail the specifications, quantity, value, etc. of the goods.
Furthermore, the agent needs to handle export customs declaration procedures, prepare documents such as customs declaration forms and customs declaration power of attorney, and declare the information of the exported goods to the customs.
Then comes the foreign exchange collection verification. After receiving the foreign exchange, the agent should handle the relevant verification procedures. Finally, it's the export tax rebate. The consignor provides the materials required for tax rebate, and the agent assists in handling the tax rebate process. Although there are many links in the whole process, it usually won't be too complicated as long as the materials are prepared step by step.
