How should the agency export declaration form be filled out correctly?
Solved#Other issues#
Our company has hired an agent to help export goods, and now it involves filling out the export declaration form. Before, our own company used to handle it. This time, we changed to an agent, and we are not very clear about the filling process and key points. For fields like the consignor and trade method, what standards should we follow to fill them? And for information like the commodity code and unit price, how should we fill them to ensure no mistakes and successfully complete the customs declaration process? I hope friends with experience can talk in detail about how to fill out the agency export declaration form correctly.

Filling out the agency export declaration form requires caution. First of all, the consignor should be filled with the principal, that is, the name and code of your company, reflecting the actual consigning entity. Common trade methods include general trade, processing with supplied materials, etc. It should be determined according to the actual business. If your company normally purchases and sells, generally choose general trade. The commodity code should be accurately classified according to the Customs Import and Export Tariff of the People's Republic of China, which is related to tax rates, etc. The unit price should be filled according to the actual transaction price, and pay attention to the currency. The country of destination should be filled with the country where the goods finally arrive for consumption, use, or further processing and manufacturing. For the production and sales unit, if it is an agency export and the principal manufactures by itself, fill in the principal; if the agent purchases goods for export, fill in the agent. In short, each field should be filled according to the real business and relevant regulations to avoid errors affecting the customs declaration progress.
