Solved#Import agent#
Our company recently has goods to be imported through DHL agency and needs to fill out a power of attorney, but we have no prior experience and are not sure how to fill it in. We want to know what mandatory information is generally required on the power of attorney and what special attention should be paid during the filling process. For example, how precise should the details of the imported goods be, and what are the specifications for filling in the information of the principal and the agent? We hope experienced friends can explain in detail. Thank you!

Filling out the DHL agency import power of attorney is crucial. First, the principal's information must be accurately filled in, including the company's full name, detailed address, contact number, contact person, etc., to ensure the information is true and valid for subsequent communication.
For the agent's information section, if choosing Zhongshitong as the agent, the accurate company information of Zhongshitong must be filled in.
For the import goods information, it should be precise to the goods' name, brand, specifications, quantity, weight, value, etc. These details are critical for customs clearance and other processes—the more accurate, the better. For example, the goods' name should be standardized and generic, and the value must be declared truthfully.
For transportation information, fill in the estimated arrival time, port of departure, port of destination, etc. Additionally, the entrusted matters should be clear and specific, such as customs declaration, inspection, transportation arrangements, and other specific entrusted tasks. For the signature and seal section, it must be signed by the principal's legal representative or authorized representative and stamped with the company seal to ensure the legal validity of the power of attorney.
