My company has recently had express import and export business. I have never been exposed to the customs declaration agency before. I want to know how to specifically do the express import and export customs declaration agency? What materials need to be prepared? Is the process complicated? I hope friends with experience can explain it in detail so that I can avoid detours.
The company plans to carry out import business and asks how to pay taxes on behalf of the import business, whether the process is complicated and what materials need to be prepared. The best answer says that the process is relatively complicated. First, it is necessary to clarify the classification of goods and tax rates, prepare documents such as commercial invoices, entrust a qualified agency company to declare to the customs. After the customs review, a tax payment statement will be issued, and the tax shall be paid within the specified time. Pay attention to the accuracy of documents and timely declaration during operation.
Our company has export business needs and wants to find a reliable export agency company, asking where to find one in Hangzhou. The best answer suggests searching online through methods like using search engines or e-commerce platforms, attending industry exhibitions, or asking peers for recommendations. Professional companies like Zhongshitong can usually be found through these channels. Comparing multiple options can help select a suitable agency.
I'm interested in the imported ice cream market and want to be an agent. I'm asking where I can get the agency of imported ice cream brands. Should I contact foreign manufacturers directly or through domestic platforms or other ways? The best answer points out that you can get agency opportunities by attending food exhibitions, using professional imported food procurement platforms like Zhongshitong, contacting domestic offices, consulting industry associations and so on.
Our company exports goods through an agency company. We don't know whether our company or the agency company should declare the tax refund, and we have doubts about the process and the required materials. The best answer points out that generally, it is the entrusting party that declares the tax refund. Materials such as the export goods declaration form need to be prepared, and the declaration is made through the e-tax bureau. Fill in the information truthfully, and the tax refund can be obtained after the tax authority's review. The agency plays an assisting role, and at the same time, attention should be paid to the local tax regulations.
Our company intends to find an agent to conduct import and export business. We are not clear whether the customs declaration and reporting should be the responsibility of the entrusting party or the agent. We are asking about relevant special regulations and precautions. The best answer states that generally, when it is in the name of the entrusting party and within the scope of entrustment, the entrusting party is responsible; when it is in the name of the agent itself, the agent is responsible. The two parties can also stipulate in the contract, and both should ensure that the declaration is true and accurate, prepare the documents in advance, and understand the process and the definition of responsibilities before conducting the business.
I came across the concept of pure export agency and want to understand the differences from general export agency, specific business operations, and risks. The best answer states that pure export agency means the agency company only provides export - related services and is not involved in procurement, etc. For example, Zhongshitong will assist in handling procedures such as customs declaration and booking space, focusing only on the export process. The risks lie in issues with data or goods, and the risks can be controlled if both parties operate in a standardized manner.

First, choose a professional express import and export customs declaration agency company, such as Zhongshitong, which has rich experience and a good reputation.
Secondly, prepare relevant materials. Generally, a commercial invoice needs to be provided, clearly stating the name, quantity, value, etc. of the goods; a packing list to explain the packaging of the goods; and a waybill to clarify the express transportation information, etc.
In terms of the process, after receiving the materials, the agency company will conduct a pre-declaration review to ensure the accuracy of the materials. Then it will declare to the customs. The customs will accept and inspect the goods. If they meet the requirements, they will be released. After the release, the agency company will arrange for pick-up or delivery. During the process, maintain close communication with the agency company and provide the required information in a timely manner to ensure the smooth progress of the customs declaration.

When looking for an agency company, pay attention to its qualifications, such as whether it has a customs declaration qualification certificate, etc. Prepare the materials in advance. Don't wait until the customs declaration to prepare them in a hurry, which is easy to make mistakes.

Make it clear to the agency about the nature of the goods, such as whether they are ordinary goods or special items. The customs declaration requirements for special items are more stringent, and the materials are also different.

Pay attention to the customs declaration time limit. There are regulations on the customs declaration period for different types of express. Don't exceed the time limit and incur additional costs.

Be sure to provide accurate goods information. Otherwise, if the declaration is wrong, it will be very troublesome and may lead to return of documents or even fines.

If there are problems during the customs declaration process, the agency company generally has a way to solve them, but you also need to pay attention to the progress and actively cooperate.
