Do you think it's easy to obtain the import and export operation right? You're completely wrong!

In today's global economic integration, many enterprises have set their sights on the international market. For enterprises aspiring to carry out import and export business, the import and export operation right is a crucial "key". Simply put, the import and export operation right is the qualification for an enterprise to engage in import and export business. With it, enterprises can directly trade with foreign customers, expand into a broader market, increase profit margins, and enhance their competitiveness in the international market. So, what are the procedures for obtaining the import and export operation right? Next, a detailed introduction will be provided for you.

First of all, an enterprise must ensure that the business scope of its business license includes relevant content such as "import and export of goods" and "import and export of technologies". If not, it needs to go to the local administrative department for industry and commerce to make a change registration of the business scope first. When making the change, prepare relevant application materials such as the application form, resolution of the shareholders' meeting, and amendment to the articles of association, fill in and submit them according to the requirements of the industry and commerce department. If everything goes smoothly, the change can be completed within a few working days.

After completing the change of the business scope of the business license, it is necessary to go to the local Bureau of Commerce to file for the record as a foreign trade operator. The enterprise needs to log in to the unified platform of the business system of the Ministry of Commerce, fill in the Registration Form for Foreign Trade Operators online, including basic enterprise information, contact information, business scope, etc., and ensure the accuracy of the information. After filling in and submitting, print out the registration form with a barcode and affix the enterprise's official seal. Then, bring materials such as the registration form, the original and copy of the business license, the original and copy of the legal representative's ID card, etc., and go to the designated place of the Bureau of Commerce for on - site review. After passing the review, the enterprise can obtain the Registration Form for Foreign Trade Operators.

The next step is the customs filing registration. The enterprise needs to log in to the China International Trade Single Window and apply for customs filing in the "Enterprise Qualification" module. Fill in the Customs Declaration Unit Filing Information Form, and fill in the enterprise's basic information, customs declaration information, management personnel information, etc. in detail. After submitting the application, wait for the customs review. During the review process, the customs may require the enterprise to supplement some materials, such as an enterprise situation description, proof of business premises, etc. Once the review is passed, the enterprise can obtain the customs filing code, which is the enterprise's "identity identification" at the customs and is used to handle subsequent import and export customs declaration business.

The enterprise also needs to go through the procedures for accessing the Electronic Port. The Electronic Port is like an "online service hall" for enterprises to carry out import and export business, integrating the businesses of multiple departments such as customs, taxation, and foreign exchange. The enterprise needs to first download the Registration Form for Enterprise Access to the China Electronic Port on the official website of the China Electronic Port data center, fill in the enterprise and legal person's relevant information, and affix the official seal. After that, bring materials such as the registration form, the original and copy of the business license, the original and copy of the Registration Form for Foreign Trade Operators, the original and copy of the customs filing receipt, etc., and go to the local sub - center of the China electronic Port data to handle the access procedures. After completion, the enterprise will get the legal person card and the operator card. Through these two cards, the enterprise can handle businesses such as customs declaration, inspection application, verification, and tax refund on the Electronic Port platform.

Finally, the enterprise needs to go to the local State Administration of Foreign Exchange to file. The enterprise needs to log in to the Digital Foreign Exchange Administration Platform of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, fill in the Application for Registration in the Directory of Enterprises with Goods Trade Foreign Exchange Receipts and Payments and the Confirmation Letter for Handling Goods Trade Foreign Exchange Business, and submit the enterprise's basic information, trade receipt and payment information, etc. After successful submission, bring materials such as the application, the confirmation letter, the original and copy of the business license, the original and copy of the Registration Form for Foreign Trade Operators, etc., and go to the State Administration of Foreign Exchange for on - site handling. After the filing is completed, the enterprise can legally carry out foreign exchange receipt and payment business to ensure the capital flow of import and export trade.

Although the process of obtaining the import and export operation right is rather complicated, as long as you follow the steps, prepare all the materials, and actively communicate with various departments, you can complete it smoothly. If an enterprise has any questions during the handling process, it can also consult the professional institution "Zhongshitong", which will provide professional guidance and help to the enterprise. I believe that through efforts, the enterprise will surely be able to successfully open the door to import and export business and show its strength in the international market.
