To set up an export goods agency, first, you need to clarify your own positioning and determine the types of goods to be agented and the target market.
Then, carry out industrial and commercial registration and obtain the business license. The business scope should include relevant business of import and export agency.
Next, handle the record-filing of foreign trade operators. For this step, you can fill in the relevant information on the website of the local commerce department and submit the application. Usually, you need to prepare materials such as a copy of the business license and the identity card of the legal representative.
After that, you need to go to the customs to handle the registration and obtain the Registration Certificate of the Declaration Unit. Prepare materials such as the original and copy of the duplicate of the enterprise legal person's business license.
At the same time, you also need to go to the foreign exchange administration to carry out record-filing so as to legally receive and pay foreign exchange. In addition, relevant record-filing work for export rebates should also be done on the tax side. The whole process is rather complicated, and professional institutions like Zhongshitong can be sought for assistance.
