For tax refund of import agency enterprises, first, distinguish the agency method. If it is a pure agency, that is, the agency enterprise only charges an agency fee, and the principal handles the tax refund by itself. The agency enterprise needs to provide relevant materials such as the customs declaration form and invoice to assist. If it is a self - operated import and then sold to the principal, the agency enterprise operates according to the general trade self - operated import tax refund process.
The specific process is as follows: After the goods are imported, promptly collect materials such as the import customs declaration form and the special payment receipt for import value - added tax; log in to the Electronic Tax Bureau, enter the export tax refund declaration module, and enter the declaration data as required; conduct data self - inspection to check whether the declaration data is incorrect. If there is no error, make an official declaration.
The general required materials include the import customs declaration form, the special payment receipt for import value - added tax, the agency import agreement, the sales invoice, etc. There may be differences in the requirements of tax bureaus in different places, and it is recommended to consult the local tax bureau in advance.

Remember to declare tax refund within the specified time. Otherwise, overdue may affect the handling of tax refund, and even make tax refund impossible. Generally, it is declared within each VAT tax return period before April 30 of the following year from the date of import.

Ensure the accuracy of the customs declaration form information. If the information on the customs declaration form is incorrect, it will affect the tax refund progress, and you need to contact the customs to modify it in a timely manner.
