To prepare the customs declaration documents for agency export, first of all, basic documents should be prepared, including commercial invoices, which need to specify in detail the name, specifications, quantity, unit price, total value, etc. of the goods; packing lists, which clearly indicate the details of the goods packaging, such as the packaging form, number of pieces, gross weight, net weight, etc. Secondly, the customs declaration form should be filled out truthfully with the basic information of the goods, the mode of trade, means of transportation, etc.
Then prepare the verification form. Although paper verification forms have been cancelled in many areas now, the relevant electronic data verification still needs to be completed according to local policies. In addition, a copy of the contract may also be required to prove the trade background of the goods.
In the process, the consignor first provides detailed goods information to the agent, and the agent prepares the customs declaration documents accordingly and submits them to the customs for declaration. After the customs reviews and approves, the goods will be released. Throughout the process, both parties should maintain close communication to ensure the accuracy of the documents.
