The date of consignment agency import should generally be filled out as the date when the agency import agreement officially takes effect.
When your company and the agency company reach an agreement on the consignment import matters and the agency import agreement signed by both parties begins to take effect, this time point is usually the date of consignment agency import to be filled out. It is not the date of signing the contract with the agency company. Signing the contract is just a step to reach the cooperation intention. The effectiveness of the agreement means that the relevant rights and obligations officially begin to be fulfilled. Nor is it the actual date of goods import. The date of goods import is another important time node used to record the entry situation of goods. Therefore, accurately filling out the effective date of the agency import agreement can better reflect the starting point of this consignment agency import business in the process.
For example, when Zhongshitong is handling this kind of business, it also accurately fills out relevant records according to the effective date of the agreement, so that there will be no confusion in subsequent tracing, statistics and other work.

Generally, it should be filled out according to the date when both parties have agreed to officially start the consignment agency import business, usually the starting date clearly specified in the agency import agreement. Be careful not to fill it out wrong.

I think it can be filled out by referring to the time point when the agency officially undertakes the consignment task of your company in the agency import business process, which should be relatively close to the effective time of the agreement.

It should be filled out as the date when both parties have determined the specific matters of consignment agency import and they are operable, which is probably the time when the agreement officially takes effect. Don't get it mixed up.

Just fill out the date when the business stipulated in the agency import agreement starts to be executed. This date is very crucial and is related to the records of many subsequent processes.
