Generally, there are two common ways to pay taxes for import agency customs declaration. One is for the principal to pay on their own, and the other is to entrust the agency company to pay on their behalf. If choosing the agency company to pay on behalf, it is necessary to clarify the matters of payment on behalf and the fees with the agency company in advance.
In terms of the process, first, the customs declaration company declares the information of the imported goods to the customs. After the customs reviews and determines the tax number and tax rate of the goods, it calculates the amount of taxes to be paid. Then, the customs declaration company will notify the principal to prepare for tax payment. If the agency company pays on behalf, the principal needs to transfer the tax amount to the agency company. Finally, the agency company pays the taxes through an electronic payment platform or by going to the bank designated by the customs.
The required materials usually include the customs declaration form, invoice, packing list, contract, etc. These materials are used by the customs to determine key information such as the value and origin of the goods in order to accurately calculate and levy taxes.
