Is the process of handling import and export rights too complicated? 3 Pit - Avoidance Guides

Mr. Zhang recently received an overseas order but got stuck during customs declaration; Ms. Li's cross - border e - commerce store was taken off the platform due to lack of qualifications... Without import and export rights, foreign trade business is like driving without a license. Today, we'll take you through the entire process of handling this "foreign trade pass" worth millions in 10 minutes.

Customs data in 2023 shows that the export tax rebate efficiency of enterprises with import and export rights has increased by 40%. It's not just a customs declaration qualification, but also it can:

• Independently receive and pay foreign exchange, saving 3% - 5% in agency fees
• Enjoy policy dividends such as export tax rebates
• It's a necessary condition for settling on platforms like Amazon and Alibaba International

Stage 1: Upgrade of industrial and commercial filing (3 - 5 working days)

First, go to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to add business scope, which should include items such as "goods import and export" or "technology import and export". The case database of Zhongshitong shows that 90% of rejections are due to missing the sub - item of "import and export agency".

Stage 2: Customs registration (1 working day)

• Register on the website of China Electronic port
• Submit the registration certificate of the customs declaration unit
• Obtain a 10 - digit customs code

Required preparations:

• Bank account opening permit
• Copy of the legal person's ID card
• Sample of import and export contract (For new enterprises, a letter of intent can be used)

1. Abnormal address: A certain customer was delayed for 2 months due to the inconsistency between the registered address and the actual business address.

2. Financial indicators: In some regions, the annual turnover is required to reach 5 million yuan.

3. Expired certificates: The customs registration certificate requires an annual report in January each year.

Entrusting an agency to handle it usually costs 8,000 - 15,000 yuan, while self - handling only requires the cost of production:

• Customs registration is free
• The electronic port IC card costs 480 yuan
• Foreign exchange filing is free of charge
