When filling out the agency export customs declaration form, the consignor is typically the entrusting party, i.e., your company's name and detailed address, which must match the business license. Common trade methods include "Agency Export" or "General Trade" based on actual circumstances. If the agent declares export under their own name and handles foreign exchange, "General Trade" may apply; if purely acting as an agent, "Agency Export" can be specified. Product information must be filled accurately, including product name, specifications, quantity, weight, and value, consistent with contracts, invoices, and actual goods. For unit price and total value, enter the transaction price with correct currency. Transportation details like vessel name and bill of lading number should match shipping documents. Contact information on the form must also be clearly provided for customs communication.
In summary, ensure all information is truthful, accurate, and complete. Consult the agent or customs promptly for any uncertainties.

When filling the declaration form, pay attention to measurement units, which must align with customs' statutory units. Some goods may have primary and secondary statutory units—both must be accurately filled.
