Our company recently has the demand for import and export trade, but we haven't done it before and want to find an agency to help handle it. I'd like to ask how to handle the import and export trade agency? Will the handling process be very complicated? Do we need to prepare any data? I hope friends with experience can explain it in detail so that we can avoid detours.
Someone asked about being new to foreign trade and not knowing how to handle import payment agency, including required documents and precautions. The best answer detailed the steps: choose a reliable agency company, prepare documents like import contracts, sign agreements, complete payment filing, make payments as agreed, etc. It also emphasized ensuring document authenticity and compliance with foreign exchange regulations, providing practical guidance for beginners.
Our company has goods to export and wants to understand the fee standards for export agency services, worried about being overcharged. The best answer states there is no fixed standard for fees. Common methods include a percentage of the cargo value (1%-5%) or a per-shipment fee. Fees vary for different types of goods, and factors like service scope, transportation method, and port can influence the charges. Specific fees should be negotiated with the agency, and it's recommended to compare multiple options.
Our company used to export on its own before and now intends to export products by entrusted agency. We have doubts about the tax refund process for export by entrusted agency and would like to ask if it is the same as the process for tax refund of self-export, what materials are required and how long the tax refund takes. The best answer states that the tax refund process for export by entrusted agency is different. Both parties need to sign an agreement. After handling the relevant procedures, the entrusted party will transfer the materials to the entrusting party. The entrusting party will apply to the tax authorities for tax refund with these materials. The tax refund usually takes about 20 working days, with differences in different regions.

It cooperates with high-quality shipping companies and has a good reputation in Fuyang. It can make the tile import business more worry-free and efficient.
I want to be an agent for imported industrial products but have no experience at all. I'm asking about the specific operations and preparations. The best answer says that one should first clarify the product positioning, conduct market research, negotiate cooperation and sign contracts with foreign suppliers, prepare relevant qualifications, establish logistics channels and sales teams, learn product knowledge, etc., providing a comprehensive guide for beginners.
I plan to do business in imported red wine. Due to the complexity of the customs clearance process, I want to find an agent and inquire about how to handle the customs clearance agency for imported red wine, including the process from preliminary preparation to the completion of customs clearance and the precautions. The best answer states that first, confirm the qualifications of foreign suppliers, sign contracts and arrange transportation, submit declarations in advance and conduct pre-examination of Chinese labels, inspect the goods upon arrival at the port, sample and send them for testing, pay taxes and pick up the goods after passing the test, and the products can only be sold after waiting for the inspection report. The accuracy and completeness of the documents are very important.

To handle the import and export trade agency, first of all, you need to select a professional and reliable agency company, such as companies with good reputation and rich experience like Zhongshitong. After confirming the cooperation, sign a power of attorney contract to clarify the rights and obligations of both parties. Then, you need to provide relevant data, such as photocopies of the duplicate of the business license, photocopies of the tax registration certificate and other basic certificates, as well as detailed information of the goods, including the name, quantity, value, specifications, etc. of the goods. The agency company will handle relevant certificates such as the import and export license based on these data. Later, in the process of goods import and export, the agency company will be responsible for customs declaration, inspection application and other operations. In terms of transportation, you can negotiate with the agency company to select a suitable transportation mode. At the time of settlement, pay the agency fee and related fees according to the contract agreement and do a good job in foreign exchange settlement and other work. In short, prepare the data according to the process and cooperate closely with the agency company, and the handling process will be relatively smooth.
