The agency export business refers to the principal (such as a manufacturing enterprise) entrusting the agent with the right to export (such as an agency company like Zhongshitong) to handle export - related operations such as customs declaration and foreign exchange settlement of export goods.
The specific operation process generally involves the principal and the agent signing an agency export agreement to clarify the rights and obligations of both parties. The principal is responsible for providing the goods and relevant documents, etc., while the agent, relying on its own qualifications and channels, handles a series of matters such as customs declaration, inspection, transportation, foreign exchange collection, verification, and tax refund.
The difference from general export business is that in general export business, the enterprise completes all export links by itself, while in the agency export business, the principal can take advantage of the professional advantages of the agent. The principal does not need to have the right to export and other conditions, and can focus more on core businesses such as production and research and development. This business model can help some enterprises lacking export experience and qualifications open up the international market.

Simply put, the agency export business is that enterprises without export qualifications find companies with qualifications to help with exports. For example, some small factories that are unable to handle complex export procedures find agency companies. The agency company takes care of customs declaration, logistics, etc., and the factory can focus on production.

The agency export business can save the principal time and energy. Instead of building an export team and exploring the export process by themselves, they can directly hand over the export link to the agency company, which is more efficient and convenient, especially suitable for start - up foreign trade enterprises.

In agency export, the agency company is also responsible for foreign exchange collection. Foreign customers transfer the payment for goods to the account of the agency company, and after deducting the fees according to the agreement, the agency company transfers the money to the principal to ensure the capital flow.
