To carry out the agency import business, the following types of certificates usually need to be handled: First is the business license. Its business scope needs to include relevant contents such as the import and export business of goods or technologies. This is the basic prerequisite for carrying out this type of business.
Secondly, it is the Registration Form for the Record of Foreign Trade Operators. Only after the record-filing can one have the qualification to legally engage in foreign trade business activities. The handling process is usually to submit relevant materials online on the website of the local competent commercial department. After the review is passed, it can be collected.
In addition, if it involves the import of specific commodities, such as food, medical devices, etc., corresponding licenses need to be handled according to the specific commodity categories. For example, if you import food, you may need to handle a food business license, etc. The handling requirements of these licenses will vary depending on different commodities. You need to apply to the corresponding regulatory departments by referring to the relevant industry regulations.
The Certificate of Registration of Customs Declaration Entities is also necessary. You can submit the registration application online through the China International Trade Single Window.

The handling process of these certificates as a whole has corresponding specifications and guidelines.
