II. Main Content: Comprehensive Guide to Application Process and Fees

(I) Import and Export Rights Application Process

1. Business License Scope Change (if necessary)

First, you need to check your company's business license scope. If it doesn't include terms like "goods import and export" or "technology import and export," then you'll need to apply for a change in your business scope. Generally, you prepare relevant documents, such as shareholder resolutions, articles of association amendments, etc., and then submit the application to the Market Supervision Administration of Hengli Town, completing the change process according to the staff's guidance.

2. Foreign Trade Operator Record-filing Registration

This is a very important step. Enterprises must fill out the foreign trade operator record-filing registration form online through the unified platform of the Ministry of Commerce's business system. Be very careful when filling it out; all information must be accurate. After completing and submitting the form, print it out along with a copy of your business license and other relevant documents, and submit them all to the commerce authority in Hengli Town for record-filing registration review. Once approved, you will receive the record-filing registration form.

3. Customs Record-filing Registration

Next, you need to go to the Customs to handle the record-filing registration. Enterprises need to register on the "China International Trade Single Window" platform and input relevant information, such as basic enterprise information and customs declarer information. After inputting, submit the application. The Customs will review the submitted information, and once approved, the enterprise can obtain the Customs record-filing receipt for import and export consignees and consignors.

4. E-Port Card Application

This step is to facilitate subsequent operations such as electronic customs declarations for enterprises. Enterprises first need to make an appointment on the "China E-Port" website, then bring relevant documents, such as the original copy of the business license, the original foreign trade operator record-filing registration form, etc., to the designated location to apply for an E-Port card. After obtaining it, relevant activation operations are also required.

5. SAFE (State Administration of Foreign Exchange) Record-filing Registration (if foreign exchange business is to be conducted)

If the enterprise will have foreign exchange receipt and payment operations later, then it will also need to go to the State Administration of Foreign Exchange in Hengli Town to handle record-filing registration. After filling out the relevant forms according to SAFE's requirements, submitting the necessary materials, and completing the record-filing registration, the enterprise can legally and compliantly conduct foreign exchange business.

(II) Import and Export Rights Application Fees

Regarding the fees for applying for import and export rights, there isn't actually a fixed, unified standard; it varies due to multiple factors.

• If the enterprise handles all procedures itself, the main costs might just be some printing fees for documents, transportation costs, etc., and these miscellaneous expenses might add up to a few hundred yuan. However, this requires the relevant personnel of the enterprise to be very familiar with the application process; otherwise, they might take detours due to lack of understanding, wasting a lot of time.
• If you choose to entrust a professional agency like Zhongmaoda to handle it, the fees generally range from two to three thousand yuan. Different agencies may have different charges, mainly priced according to service content, complexity of the process, and other factors. However, the advantage of entrusting an agency is peace of mind and less effort; they are familiar with the process and can help enterprises complete the application quickly and efficiently.
