The company plans to import stationery and wants to find a customs declaration agency but doesn't know the specific procedures. The best answer points out that the agency first needs to communicate with you to understand the details of the stationery and prepare basic documents such as commercial invoices. The agency will declare before the goods arrive at the port, and after customs inspection, taxes will be levied. After payment, customs clearance and pick-up will be completed. During the process, attention should be paid to accurate declaration and compliance with domestic standards.
Is the process for handling import and export licenses complicated? How can I handle it?
Resolved
Our company wants to handle an import and export license, but we have no prior experience and are completely unsure where to start. I've heard the process is quite complicated and requires many materials. Are there any friends who have gone through this who can share their experience? How exactly should an import and export license be handled? What needs to be prepared? I hope for a detailed explanation. Thank you.

To handle an import and export license, you first need to go to the Commerce Bureau to complete the foreign trade operator filing and registration. You'll need to prepare materials such as the original and a copy of your business license and a copy of the legal representative's ID card. After filling in the relevant information online and submitting it, you will receive the filing registration form upon approval.
Secondly, go to the Customs to handle the registration of consignors and consignees of import and export goods. You need to submit the application form for registration of customs declaration units, the foreign trade operator filing registration form, and other documents. Upon review and if the conditions are met, the Registration Certificate of Customs Declaration Units of the People's Republic of China will be issued.
Then, go to the Foreign Exchange Administration for directory registration, preparing materials such as the original business license of the legal person, the foreign trade operator filing registration form, etc. In addition, entering the electronic port is also very important. You need to go to the local electronic port to handle the relevant procedures and apply for equipment such as identity cards.
