The declaration process for goods exported by an agent is different from that of self-export. First of all, the consignor and the consignee need to sign an agent export agreement. When declaring, the consignee, that is, the agent company, should apply to the competent tax authority for issuing the Certificate of Goods Exported by an Agent within 60 days from the date of customs declaration for export of the goods, and need to provide materials such as the agent export agreement and the customs declaration form of exported goods.
Then, the consignor shall declare for tax refund to the competent tax authority within the stipulated time limit with the Certificate of Goods Exported by an Agent issued by the consignee and other stipulated materials. If it is overdue, unless otherwise stipulated, the consignor shall not declare for tax refund. It should be noted that the declaration materials must be true, accurate and complete, otherwise it may affect the progress of tax refund or even lead to the inability to get a tax refund. Tax authorities in different regions may have slight differences, and it is recommended to communicate and confirm with the local tax department in advance.
