To do import and export agency, first of all, you need to have legal enterprise qualifications, including business licenses, and the business scope should cover import and export business. Then you need to go to the commerce department to handle the record-filing registration of foreign trade operators to obtain the import and export operation qualifications. At the same time, you also need to go to the customs to handle the registration certificate of the customs declaration unit so that the goods can be declared smoothly.
In terms of taxation, you need to handle the export tax rebate registration and be familiar with the export tax rebate policies and procedures, which are related to the cost and profit of the business. In addition, you also need to master the knowledge of international trade, such as international business negotiation skills, international settlement methods (such as letters of credit, collections, etc.), and the accurate application of various trade terms.
Moreover, the knowledge of logistics transportation is also indispensable. You need to understand the characteristics and procedures of different transportation methods (such as sea transportation, air transportation, etc.) so as to arrange the transportation of goods reasonably. In terms of precautions, you need to pay attention to reputation, ensure service quality, strictly abide by laws and regulations, and avoid trade risks.
