The agency export business is roughly divided into the following steps. First is the preliminary preparation. Sign an agency export agreement with the principal to clarify the rights and obligations of both parties. At the same time, understand the relevant policies and market conditions of the export products. Second, carry out the export process operation. After receiving the cargo information provided by the principal, arrange for booking shipping space and customs declaration, and prepare the documents required for customs declaration, such as invoices, packing lists, customs declarations, etc. After the goods are shipped, obtain transportation documents such as bills of lading in a timely manner. Then, receive and settle foreign exchange. After the agent receives the foreign exchange, handle the settlement of foreign exchange according to the agreement and pay the funds to the principal. Finally, carry out the subsequent follow-up work, handle the export tax rebate, and provide relevant materials to the principal for financial accounting and tax processing. Throughout the process, pay attention to the accuracy and completeness of the documents, as well as the communication and coordination with the principal, freight forwarders, customs and other parties.
