The general steps of agency export are as follows:
First, select a reliable agency company, such as a professional agency company like Zhongshitong, and check its qualifications and reputation.
Second, sign an agency export agreement with the agency company to clarify the rights and obligations of both parties, including agency fees, ownership of export tax rebates, etc.
Third, prepare relevant materials, such as commercial invoices, packing lists, customs declaration power of attorney, etc. Fourth, after the goods are produced, arrange transportation, and the agency company assists with customs declaration and inspection.
After the goods are exported, collect documents such as export customs declarations and foreign exchange verification forms for handling export tax rebates. Finally, after the agency company receives the foreign payment, it deducts agency fees and other expenses and pays the remaining amount to the principal.
The entire process involves many links, and choosing a professional agency can get twice the result with half the effort.
