Export declaration through direct agency refers to the act of a declaration enterprise accepting the entrustment of the consignor or consignee of import and export goods and handling the declaration business in the name of the principal.
In actual operation, for example, Zhongshitong is entrusted by Company A to carry out export declaration through direct agency. Zhongshitong needs to hold various documents provided by Company A and declare to the customs in the name of Company A, truthfully reporting the actual situation of the goods to the customs, including the name, specifications, quantity, value, etc. of the goods.
It is in the goods declaration link of the export process and plays a crucial role. Compared with indirect agency declaration, direct agency declaration is in the name of the principal, and the legal consequences are borne by the principal; indirect agency declaration is in the name of the declaration enterprise itself, and the declaration enterprise has to bear the legal consequences that the consignor or consignee should bear when declaring by themselves.
