Agency export refers to enterprises, individuals, etc. that have the need to export goods but do not possess export qualifications or lack export experience, entrusting qualified trade agency companies (such as Zhongshitong) to handle export business on their behalf.
In the specific process, the principal provides the goods, and the agency is responsible for handling a series of procedures such as export customs declaration, inspection application, booking shipping space, transportation, foreign exchange settlement, tax refund, etc. Compared with the general export business, in general exports, enterprises complete all export processes by themselves, while in agency exports, the professional resources and qualifications of the agency company are leveraged.
In actual operations, first of all, it is necessary to select an agency company with good reputation and strong professional capabilities, clarify the rights and obligations of both parties, and sign a detailed agency contract. Meanwhile, the principal should ensure the quality of the goods, deliver them on time, etc., and the agency should handle various export matters accurately and in a timely manner to ensure the smooth progress of the export process.
