How should the customs declaration form for export on behalf of others be correctly filled out?
Solved#Other issues#
Our company recently has a batch of goods to be exported through an agent. We were quite familiar with filling out the customs declaration form when we exported by ourselves before. But this time for export through an agent, we don't know what the differences are in filling out the customs declaration form compared with before, and we are also not clear about how to fill it out specifically. For columns such as the operating unit and the consignor unit, should we fill in the information of our company or the agent company? Are there any special points that need attention? We hope that the filling method of the customs declaration form for export on behalf of others can be explained in detail.

There are specific specifications for filling out the customs declaration form for export on behalf of others. First of all, the operating unit should be filled with the name and code of the agent enterprise, because the agent is responsible for signing and executing the export contract with foreign parties. The consignor unit should be filled with the principal, that is, the unit that actually organizes the export of goods.
In the "Trade Mode" column, common ones are corresponding codes such as "Export on behalf of others". The "Nature of Levy and Exemption" should be selected according to the actual situation, such as general taxation, tax exemption, etc. Columns such as "Commodity Code", "Commodity Name, Specification and Model" should be filled with the information of the goods truthfully and accurately.
It should be noted especially that the information of the principal and the agent should be accurate and error-free, and the documents should be consistent. And for export on behalf of others, relevant materials such as the export agency agreement should be provided for customs inspection. During the filling process, each item should be carefully checked to avoid customs declaration delays or other problems caused by incorrect filling.

The operating unit should be filled with the agent company's information, and the consignor unit should be filled with your company's information. The remarks column can be used to note relevant information about export on behalf of others to facilitate customs review.
