Having the right to import and export enables one to do agency business. Firstly, a company having the right to import and export means it has certain basic conditions to carry out import and export business. However, to conduct agency import and export business, relevant qualifications need to be perfected, such as handling customs declaration unit filing to ensure that customs declaration business can be legally handled with the customs.
In terms of operational procedures, agency import and export involves signing an agency agreement with the entrusting party to clarify the rights and obligations of both parties. All links including goods procurement, transportation, customs declaration, foreign exchange collection and payment, etc. must be strictly implemented in accordance with the agreement. While the direct import and export process of one's own company is relatively simple and mainly carried out around its own business needs.
In terms of liability assumption, if the entrusting party suffers losses due to the fault of the agency in agency import and export, the agency shall bear the corresponding liability; in direct import and export, the company is responsible for the whole process of the business on its own. Meanwhile, when conducting agency import and export business, attention should also be paid to enhancing the professional service ability to ensure the smooth progress of the business.

It can be done as an agency. However, the contract with the entrusting party should be signed well to clarify the responsibilities of both parties in various aspects such as goods quality, delivery time, and cost assumption to avoid subsequent disputes.

It can be done as an agency. Remember to keep the financial aspect clear. The amounts of collection and payment on behalf of others should be recorded clearly, otherwise there will be problems in tax matters easily.

Having the right to import and export enables one to do agency business. But before doing it, it is best to be familiar with relevant trade policies. The regulatory conditions for different products are different. Don't let the business be blocked due to unfamiliarity with policies.

It can be done. But after-sales service should also keep up. For example, if there are problems with the goods, communication and solution should be carried out in a timely manner with the entrusting party and the supplier.
