For the import and export agency business, first of all, you need to have the right to engage in import and export operations. This is the basis for enterprises to carry out import and export business, and you need to register with the commerce department for the record. Secondly, you need to handle the Registration Certificate of Customs Declaration Entities. Only after an enterprise is registered with the customs can it have the qualification for customs declaration. You also need to have the qualification for self-inspection of goods for inspection and quarantine, which can be handled at the local Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau so that you can inspect the imported and exported goods. If it involves special commodities such as food, specific qualifications are also required, such as the Food Business License, etc. In addition, the qualification for accessing the E-Port is also very important, which is convenient for enterprises to carry out customs declaration, inspection and quarantine operations through the E-Port. To handle these qualifications, prepare the corresponding materials and follow the process. The difficulty is not too great, but each step needs to be done carefully.
