The documents required for import agency may vary according to the types of goods, but some basic documents are universal. First, there are commercial documents such as contracts, invoices, and packing lists, which are used to clarify the transaction information and packaging of the goods. Second, there are transportation documents, bills of lading or waybills, which can indicate the transportation track of the goods. If special goods are involved, specific documents are also required. For example, for food imports, a certificate of origin, a health certificate, etc. need to be provided. For cosmetic imports, a product formula, a sample of the Chinese label, etc. are required. If the goods have a wooden package, a fumigation certificate also needs to be provided. In addition, the enterprise's own qualification documents such as a copy of the business license are also indispensable, so that the agency company can complete relevant filings and other operations.
In short, communicating with the import agency company in advance, clarifying the documents required for specific goods, and preparing according to the requirements can make the import process smoother.
