The agency export business, simply put, is that some enterprises without export qualifications or lacking export experience and channels entrust qualified and capable companies (such as Zhongshitong) to handle export-related matters.
The process mainly includes: First, the entrusting party and the agency party sign an agency export agreement to clarify the rights and obligations of both parties. Then, the agency party assists the entrusting party in conducting market research to find overseas customers. After that, handle export customs declaration, inspection and other procedures, which requires dealing with departments such as the customs and inspection and quarantine. After the goods are shipped, the agency party is also responsible for collecting and settling foreign exchange and transferring the funds to the entrusting party according to the agreement, while assisting in handling export tax refunds.
Unlike ordinary export businesses, in the agency export business, the agency does not own the ownership of the goods but only provides services and charges agency fees. The work of the agency export business requires strong coordination and communication skills to interface with numerous departments and customers to ensure the smooth progress of the export process.
