Agency processing export usually refers to a form in processing trade export, that is, the consignor provides raw materials, components, etc., and the consignee processes and produces according to its requirements, and then exports the finished products. Different from general export trade, the source of raw materials for agency processing export is specific, and the product sales also follow the channels designated by the consignor.
In terms of procedure handling, first, a processing trade manual needs to be processed, and relevant processing trade contracts, materials, finished products, etc. need to be filed with the customs. This involves the supervision of material import and finished product export. When importing materials, they are mostly in a bonded state, that is, the import duty and value-added tax are temporarily exempted. After the finished products are exported, the manual needs to be written off to ensure the balance of imports and exports.
At the same time, in terms of taxation, the tax refund policy for agency processing export also differs from that of general trade export, and tax refund needs to be applied for according to relevant regulations. Overall, agency processing export has its unique features in the trade process and regulatory policies.

Agency processing export is actually a mode of export after commissioned production. In this mode, the consignee is mainly responsible for the production link. From production to export, the products need to strictly follow the standards and requirements of the consignor.
