In agent - assisted export, the customs declaration form is generally filled out and declared by the agent, Zhongshitong. The content of the customs declaration form must be accurate, including detailed information about the goods, consignor and consignee information, etc. The packing list mainly reflects the packaging situation of the goods, such as the number of packages, gross weight, net weight, etc. The principal provides detailed data to the agent, and the agent arranges and produces it. The invoice is divided into commercial invoice and proforma invoice. The commercial invoice should state the transaction details such as the description of the goods, quantity, and price. The proforma invoice is used by the importer to apply for an import license, etc., and usually, the principal provides the basic information and the agent helps to complete it. Different from self - export, in agent - assisted export, the principal needs to communicate closely with the agent, and the data transfer should be timely and accurate. And the agency relationship is reflected in some documents. At the same time, documents such as the bill of lading and certificate of origin also need to be processed in accordance with the normal procedures in cooperation with freight forwarders, the Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export of Commodities, etc., and the agent assists the principal in completing the handling.
In short, all documents are interrelated, and the information should be consistent to ensure the smooth progress of the export process.
