[The whole process of exporting foreign trade] Talk about business - stocking - ask the Commodity Inspection Bureau to inspect the goods (commercial inspection) - declare export to the customs (declaration) - transfer goods out of the country to the customer - obtain payment from the customer - declare to the SAFE (nuclear) Sales) - declare to the IRS (tax refund)
Why do you want to report a transaction? Because international trade management is relatively strict, goods often have to be inspected before they leave the country, and approvals are obtained; money received must be reported and so on. In addition, the state encourages exports and can enjoy preferential policies in reporting transactions. The status of the report transaction is not final, but runs through the entire foreign trade process. Mainly dealing with four departments:
Import and Export Commodity Inspection and Quarantine Bureau: They are requested to inspect the goods before delivery, and issue a quality certificate. This process is called "commodity inspection."
Customs: After the commodity inspection, declare the export to the customs and then ship it out. This process is called "customs clearance."
SAFE: Reports to the SAFE after receiving the money. This process is called "writing off."
The State Taxation Bureau: After the declaration of export, tax rebates and other benefits are obtained. This process is called "tax refund."
There is not much difference in the nature of foreign trade and domestic business. It just needs to deal with several government departments in foreign trade operations.
Not every link needs to be done by yourself. Professional agency companies can do a lot of work for you. For example: The cargo transportation agency can help you “declaration†and “transportationâ€, the bank can help you to get the money, the export agency can help you “commodity inspection†and declare to the foreign exchange bureau and the national tax bureau, etc.—so that you can even Just talk about business, and then give everything to them for help.
