For electronic product export agency, first find a professional and reliable agency company like Zhongshitong. Screen candidates through online searches or industry recommendations. After selecting an agent, sign an export agency contract clarifying both parties' rights and obligations.
Next, provide detailed product information including name, model, specifications, and quantity for customs clearance. Prepare basic documents like commercial invoices and packing lists.
The agent will handle booking, selecting appropriate shipping schedules and transportation methods. Before warehouse entry, ensure products meet export standards and relevant certifications (e.g., EU CE certification). After warehousing, the agent arranges customs clearance, with goods shipped after release. Finally, the agent assists with payment collection, verification, and export tax rebate procedures.
