Still groping for the import and export process on your own? Hangzhou agency services can help you complete it with one click

Against the backdrop of global economic integration, in the vibrant city of Hangzhou, import and export trade activities are becoming increasingly frequent. Many enterprises, due to their own conditions limitations, will choose agency import and export services to expand their business. So, what exactly is the Hangzhou agency import and export process? Let's go deep into it together today to clear the obstacles on your trade path.

First of all, the import and export enterprise (assuming it is Mr. Zhang's company) needs to contact the agency company Zhongshitong. Mr. Zhang needs to inform Zhongshitong in detail of the detailed information of his own import and export goods, such as the name, quantity, value, destination or origin of the goods. After that, both parties sign a consignment agency agreement to clarify each other's rights and obligations, including key contents such as agency fees and service scope.

Zhongshitong will assist Mr. Zhang's company in handling relevant import and export qualifications. Among them, the most basic is the filing registration of foreign trade operators. Only after completing this registration can the enterprise have the qualification to legally carry out import and export business. At the same time, according to the different characteristics of the goods, other special qualifications may also need to be handled. For example, food import may require a food business license. To handle these qualifications, various materials need to be prepared, such as a copy of the business license and the legal person's ID card. Zhongshitong will guide Mr. Zhang to prepare and submit the application.

Before the goods arrive at the port, airport or other supervised areas, Zhongshitong will prepare the customs declaration and inspection documents in advance. The customs declaration documents generally include the customs declaration form, commercial invoice, packing list, contract, etc. For goods that require inspection and quarantine, inspection and quarantine also need to be carried out, and relevant quality certificates, origin certificates and other documents need to be provided. During the customs declaration and inspection process, the customs and inspection and quarantine departments will inspect the goods, and the professional personnel of Zhongshitong will actively cooperate to ensure the smooth passage of the goods. For example, Ms. Li's company imported a batch of electronic products, and Zhongshitong prepared the relevant documents in advance and cooperated with the customs inspection, and finally the goods were cleared quickly.

After the goods are cleared, the transportation and logistics links are crucial. Zhongshitong, relying on its own logistics resources and experience, will choose a suitable transportation method according to the actual situation of the goods and Mr. Zhang's needs, such as sea transportation, air transportation or land transportation. For large equipment, sea transportation may be a more economical choice; while for high-value and urgently needed electronic products, air transportation can ensure timeliness. At the same time, Zhongshitong will also be responsible for the logistics services such as loading, unloading and warehousing of the goods, so that Mr. Zhang does not need to worry about the transfer of the goods.

Import and export trade involves foreign exchange settlement. Zhongshitong will help Mr. Zhang handle foreign exchange collection and verification procedures in accordance with the national foreign exchange management regulations. The export business also involves the tax refund link. Zhongshitong will assist Mr. Zhang in preparing tax refund documents, such as the export customs declaration form and the special VAT invoice, and apply for tax refund to the tax department, helping enterprises save costs and increase the profit margin.

The Hangzhou agency import and export process is complex, but with the assistance of the professional agency company Zhongshitong, enterprises can carry out import and export business more efficiently and smoothly. If you also have import and export business needs, you might as well consider choosing Zhongshitong and start your new journey in international trade.
