To handle the qualification for acting as an agent in import and export, first, go to the Administration for Industry and Commerce to handle the change of business scope, adding the business of "Import and Export of Goods and Technologies".
Then go to the Bureau of Commerce to handle the filing and registration of foreign trade operators. You need to submit copies of the business license, copies of the legal person's ID card and other materials, and fill in the Registration Form for Filing of Foreign Trade Operators.
After that, go to the Customs to handle the Registration Certificate of the Declaration Unit. Prepare the Registration Form for Filing of Foreign Trade Operators, copies of the business license and other materials. Also go to the E-Port to apply for network access and obtain identity recognition media such as IC cards for the port law enforcement system.
In addition, you need to go to the Administration of Foreign Exchange to conduct the registration on the list. Although the whole process has many links, as long as the materials are prepared as required, it is generally not too difficult. Usually, it takes about 1 - 2 months to complete the handling, and there may be differences in different regions.

When handling, pay attention to preparing all the materials completely. All copies should be stamped with the official seal. Otherwise, it will be very troublesome to run back and forth. For example, when handling the filing and registration of foreign trade operators, fill in the form carefully and don't fill in the information wrongly.

When conducting the registration on the list at the Administration of Foreign Exchange, pay attention to the accuracy of the enterprise information. Once the input is incorrect, it will be very troublesome to modify it later and may affect the import and export business.

The change of the business scope on the business license should be done first. This is the basis. Otherwise, the subsequent formalities cannot be carried out smoothly. Moreover, relevant information should be updated in time after the change.

Plan the handling time of each link well and don't delay. Otherwise, the overall progress will be affected. For example, if the filing at the Bureau of Commerce and the registration at the Customs are coordinated well, the handling cycle can be shortened.
