In the import and export agency business, the determination of the subject of customs declaration is usually based on the entrustment agency agreement. Generally speaking, if the agency has professional customs declaration qualifications and capabilities, and the agreement stipulates that the agency is responsible for the customs declaration, then the agency will take on this responsibility. Professional agencies like Zhongshitong often undertake the customs declaration work.
If the entrusting party itself has the ability to handle customs declaration and hopes to handle the relevant matters of customs declaration by itself, it can also specify in the agreement that the entrusting party will operate.
It should be noted that no matter which party is responsible for the customs declaration, it must ensure that the content of the declaration is true, accurate and complete. At the same time, both parties should do a good job in communication and cooperation. The entrusting party should provide accurate information about the goods and other materials to the agency in a timely manner to ensure the smooth progress of the customs declaration work.
