When a foreign trade company does agency export, first, it should sign a detailed agency export contract with the principal to clarify the rights and obligations of both parties, such as the calculation method of agency fees, the liability for product quality, etc.
Secondly, assist the principal in the customs declaration and inspection of export goods. Prepare relevant documents, such as commercial invoices, packing lists, customs declaration forms, etc., to ensure that the documents are accurate and consistent with the actual situation of the goods.
Thirdly, handle the matters of foreign exchange receipt and settlement. Timely receive the payment from foreign customers, handle the foreign exchange settlement procedures as required, and pay the principal the amount after deducting the agency fees.
In addition, handle the export tax rebate. Help the principal sort out the tax rebate materials and declare for tax rebate as required by the tax department, which can effectively reduce the principal's cost. Pay attention to details throughout the process and strictly control each link to ensure the smooth progress of the agency export business.
