A foreign trade export agency declaration typically includes the following: First, the declarant company information, detailing the agency (e.g., Zhongshitong)'s name, unified social credit code, address, and contact details. Second, goods information—name, specifications, quantity, weight, value, etc.—must match the actual goods with accurate data. Trade terms (e.g., general trade, FOB) and transport methods are also essential. The format should align with local customs' standard templates, often downloadable from customs websites. During filling, double-check all data to prevent errors; incorrect commodity codes may affect tax calculations and clearance speed. For goods requiring licenses, ensure relevant details are accurately provided and documents are valid. Additionally, adhere to declaration deadlines.
