For the operation of domestic offshore entrepot trade, first of all, you need to find a professional agency company, such as Zhongshitong. Then determine the trade contract and clarify the key terms such as the description of the goods, the price, and the delivery date.
In terms of capital flow, the overseas buyer pays to the account of the offshore company, and the offshore company then transfers the payment to the domestic supplier. Pay attention to the compliance of the funds. In terms of logistics, the goods are directly sent from the domestic supplier to the overseas buyer, or transshipped via a third party. At this time, attention should be paid to the transportation arrangements and the handling of the bill of lading, and the agency company can be asked to assist.
In terms of tax, the offshore company usually enjoys specific tax preferential policies, but it must comply with the relevant tax regulations to ensure the compliance of tax handling. In short, each step needs to be operated carefully to avoid risks.
