Is the import and export right an IQ tax? 90% of bosses are wrong

Have you ever wondered why some enterprises can easily sell their products overseas while others are stuck in the local market? The answer often lies in a small qualification certificate - import and export right. Today, we will uncover the secrets behind this "international pass" and see how it becomes the invisible wings for enterprises to take off.

Mr. Zhang's garment factory could only consign products through foreign trade companies in the past, and 30% of the profit per piece was taken away. After obtaining the import and export right, he directly connected with Italian customers, and the profit margin doubled. This is not an exception: enterprises with import and export rights have an average 18% reduction in cross - border transaction costs, which is the conclusion drawn from a survey of 200 enterprises by Zhongshitong.

• Direct trading right: Skip middlemen and increase the profit margin by 20 - 40%
• Tax advantage: The export tax rebate can reach up to 13% (subject to specific products)
• Brand premium: Independent customs declaration increases the trust of overseas customers by 67%

Ms. Li's electronic parts company didn't discover until last year that the import and export right could also bring these unexpected gains:

• Supply chain optimization: Directly import raw materials and save 15% of the procurement cost
• Financing convenience: Banks' credit lines for import and export enterprises are on average 50% higher
• Policy dividends: Prioritize enjoying special subsidies such as cross - border e - commerce

Many business owners think: "We are too small - scale to need it" or "The procedures are too complicated." The facts are just the opposite:

• An enterprise with an annual turnover of 3 million yuan can recover the cost of obtaining the certificate within half a year through cross - border sales on Amazon
• Professional agencies can handle the whole process, and the initial investment does not exceed 15,000 yuan
• One - time application is valid for life, and there is no annual inspection or maintenance cost

When the following signals appear, it is the best time to apply: receiving the first overseas inquiry, the domestic market is saturated, or finding that imported raw materials are cheaper. Just like Mr. Wang, who sells chili sauce to South Korea, said: "Waiting until customers come to the door to get the certificate will result in at least three peak seasons of losses."

Now use this simple test to judge whether your enterprise needs it: If your product has a 10% price advantage or unique design, the overseas market may be your next blue ocean. Why not share your industry in the comment section and see how many peers have already tasted the benefits?
