In export agency business, the trustee generally needs to follow these procedures: First, sign an export agency contract to clarify key matters such as the rights and obligations of the principal and the trustee. Next, assist the principal in completing relevant export procedures, such as applying for an export license. Once the goods are ready, arrange transportation and customs clearance, including contacting freight forwarders to book shipping space and preparing customs declaration documents for submission to customs. Simultaneously, handle export foreign exchange receipts, collect the payments, and settle the foreign exchange funds with the principal as stipulated in the contract. Additionally, assist the principal in applying for export tax rebates by providing the required documents. Throughout the process, maintain proper document management and retain all business records.
It is important to strictly adhere to regulations and the contract at every stage to ensure smooth operations.
