I plan to find an import and export agent to handle the company's import and export business. I want to know if the tax paid by the import and export agent is more than that when the company directly handles it, and whether there are any hidden taxes.

Our company intends to find an agent to conduct import and export business. We are not clear whether the customs declaration and reporting should be the responsibility of the entrusting party or the agent. We are asking about relevant special regulations and precautions. The best answer states that generally, when it is in the name of the entrusting party and within the scope of entrustment, the entrusting party is responsible; when it is in the name of the agent itself, the agent is responsible. The two parties can also stipulate in the contract, and both should ensure that the declaration is true and accurate, prepare the documents in advance, and understand the process and the definition of responsibilities before conducting the business.
