What are the key points for correctly filling out an agency export customs declaration form?
Resolved
Our company has hired an agent to help export goods, and now we have questions about filling out the customs declaration form. We used to handle it ourselves and are not very familiar with filling out agency export customs declaration forms. We would like to ask how to correctly fill out an agency export customs declaration form? How should information like the shipper and consignee be filled in, and are there any other points that require special attention? We hope for a detailed explanation to ensure a smooth customs clearance process.

The filling of agency export customs declaration forms requires strictness. Firstly, the consignee should be filled in with the agent's company name and code, and the shipper should be filled in with the principal's company name and code. The mode of transport should be selected based on the actual transportation situation, for example, "Water transport" for sea freight. The trade method is commonly "Agency Export".
The country of destination must accurately reflect the country to which the goods are ultimately destined. The product description should be detailed, including names, specifications, and models, consistent with the actual goods. Accompanying documents should be fully listed, such as the agency export agreement. Furthermore, unit price, total price, and currency must be accurate and without error. Pay attention to the standardization of signatures and seals on the customs declaration form. After filling it out, be sure to double-check carefully to avoid delays or other problems due to errors.
In summary, fill it out according to the actual situation and in compliance with customs declaration regulations. If you encounter anything uncertain, consult with a professional customs broker.
