In the agency import business, generally there are two situations regarding the subjects of customs declaration. One is that the agency handling the agency imports will handle the customs declaration. Many professional agency import institutions, such as Zhongshitong, have professional customs declaration teams and rich experience. They are familiar with various customs declaration processes, policies, and regulations and can efficiently complete the customs declaration procedures. The other situation is that if the entrusting party itself has the qualifications and ability to handle customs declaration, it can also handle the customs declaration on its own, but this situation is relatively rare.
When choosing an agency to handle the customs declaration, it is necessary to check whether the agency has legal customs declaration qualifications and the reputation and word-of-mouth of its past customs declaration businesses. Meanwhile, the entrusting party should promptly and accurately provide the agency with relevant materials related to the goods, such as contracts, invoices, packing lists, etc., to assist the agency in completing the customs declaration. When the agency handles the customs declaration, it should also strictly declare the goods information truthfully in accordance with the regulations to avoid problems such as false declarations.
