To engage in the import agency business, first of all, there must be a legal and valid business license, and the business scope should cover relevant items such as goods import and export and technology import and export. Secondly, the import and export operation right is indispensable. The enterprise should go to the commercial department to handle the record-filing registration for foreign trade operators to obtain the import and export qualification. Thirdly, the certificate of registration with the customs is also very important. An application should be made to the customs to ensure the smooth customs clearance of goods. In addition, depending on the imported goods, specific qualifications may be required. For example, for imported food, a food business license should be handled. If endangered species are involved, relevant import licenses for endangered species should be obtained. Tax registration cannot be ignored, and taxes should be paid according to law. At the same time, the enterprise also needs to have certain professional personnel who are familiar with the import process and foreign trade knowledge.
In short, only with full preparation can the import agency business be carried out better.
