The general process of export tax rebate for customs clearance agents is as follows: First, the export enterprise needs to sign a consignment agreement with the customs clearance agent to clarify the rights and obligations of both parties.
Second, before the goods are exported, the customs clearance agent assists in preparing customs declaration materials, such as customs declaration forms, packing lists, invoices, etc., and completes the customs declaration procedures. After the goods leave the country, the customs clearance agent obtains tax rebate vouchers such as the tax rebate form of the export goods customs declaration form.
Then, the export enterprise collects all the materials required for tax rebate, such as special VAT invoices, etc., and submits them to the customs clearance agent. The customs clearance agent enters the relevant materials into the tax rebate declaration system and declares tax rebate to the tax authorities.
After the tax authorities' review is passed, the tax rebate amount will be returned to the account of the export enterprise. The whole process involves links such as material preparation and declaration. The time required varies according to the situation. It may be as fast as 1 - 3 months or as slow as about half a year, mainly depending on the review progress of the tax authorities and whether the materials are complete and accurate.
