When handling the tax bureau accounts for agency import, first of all, for tariffs, they should be included in the cost of imported goods. Debit: Inventory Goods (amount of tariffs), Credit: Bank Deposits, etc. As for imported value-added tax, if the entrusting party is a general taxpayer and obtains the customs duty-paid voucher, it can be deducted, and the agency party makes the collection and payment on behalf of others. Debit: Taxes Payable - Value-Added Tax Payable (Input Tax Amount) (entrusting party), Credit: Bank Deposits, etc.; if the entrusting party is a small-scale taxpayer, the value-added tax is included in the cost of goods.
Regarding tax declaration, the agency party needs to declare based on the customs duty-paid vouchers and other materials. Agency import is different from general trade import. Agency import needs to reflect the agency relationship, while general trade import is directly imported by the enterprise itself. Actual operation steps: First, obtain the duty-paid vouchers issued by the customs, enter the accounts according to the above rules, and then conduct tax declaration within the specified time, fill in the relevant tax return forms. At the same time, various vouchers should be well preserved for the inspection of the tax bureau.

The tariffs for agency import are generally included in the cost of goods, which is easy to understand. After all, it is a necessary expense for importing goods. If the value-added tax can be deducted, the entrusting party must be promptly made to do the authentication and deduction work, and do not be overdue.
