To conduct entrepot trade, first of all, a business license is needed, and the business scope should include entrepot trade related businesses. Secondly, the record-filing form for foreign trade operators is an important certificate for an enterprise to obtain the right to import and export.
If the goods are subject to special regulatory requirements, corresponding licenses also need to be obtained. For example, for imported food, a food business license should be obtained; for imported hazardous chemicals, a hazardous chemicals business license is required, etc. In addition, the registration certificate for customs declaration entities is also indispensable for the customs declaration and clearance of goods. If the goods are subject to inspection and quarantine, a record-filing form for inspection and quarantine declaration enterprises should also be obtained. At the same time, a tax registration certificate should be prepared for tax declaration and other related matters. There may be differences for different products and trade scenarios. It is recommended that you consult a professional institution such as Zhongshitong before starting the business to ensure that all certificates are prepared completely.
