When exporting through an agent, the producer first needs to provide basic enterprise qualification documents, including photocopies of the duplicate of the business license, photocopies of the tax registration certificate, and photocopies of the organization code certificate (for those who have completed the integration of the three certificates, provide the business license after the integration of the three certificates). These can prove the legal business identity of the enterprise.
Secondly, product-related materials are essential, such as product instruction manuals that introduce the performance, specifications, and usage methods of the product in detail; product pictures that clearly show the appearance of the product; and quality inspection reports that prove that the product meets the relevant quality standards.
Furthermore, documents related to the export business, such as purchase and sale contracts, clearly define the trading terms with foreign customers; packing lists, which record the packaging details of the goods; and commercial invoices, which indicate the value of the goods and other information. In addition, a customs power of attorney may also need to be provided to authorize the agent to conduct customs declaration operations. Preparing all these materials can ensure the smooth progress of the export agent process.
