Resolved
Our company plans to find an agent for export tax refunds and has no prior experience in this area. I would like to ask what materials are generally required for an export tax refund agent? Will it be very complicated? I'm afraid I won't be able to prepare everything and it will cause delays. If there are any special requirements or formats for the materials, I would also appreciate a detailed explanation, so I can prepare in advance and strive to handle the export tax refund agent related matters smoothly.

The materials generally required for an export tax refund agent are as follows:
Firstly, the export goods customs declaration form, which is an important document issued by the customs when goods are imported or exported, and the information must be accurate.
Secondly, the export invoice, which is a voucher issued by the exporting enterprise to the outside for the sale of goods, and must be issued truthfully in accordance with regulations.
Thirdly, the purchase invoice, which is the invoice obtained when purchasing goods, used to prove the source and price of the goods purchased.
Also, remittance vouchers, such as bank slips, to prove that foreign exchange has been received for the exported goods.
In addition, if it is goods processed under commission, a commission processing contract and the processing fee invoice issued by the processor are also required.
Various materials are generally required in original form. Photocopies must be stamped with the company's official seal, and the content must be clear and complete. Policies may vary in different regions. Specific materials can be communicated and confirmed with the "Zhongmaoda" agency in advance for more accurate preparation.
In addition to the common materials mentioned above, some situations may require the provision of export contracts to clarify the terms related to export business. If the goods involve special supervision conditions, such as licenses, relevant permits must also be prepared.
If the company enjoys specific export tax refund preferential policies, corresponding supporting documents must be prepared. For example, quality inspection reports for some products may also be required, depending on the actual business.
The packing list is also important, as it details the packaging of the exported goods, including quantity, weight, volume, etc., which helps to verify the actual situation of the goods.
For cross-border e-commerce export tax refunds, platform transaction records, logistics information, and other materials may also be needed to facilitate the confirmation of business authenticity.
A copy of the company's business license is also required to prove the company's legal operating status. Generally, copies should be stamped with the official seal.
Export goods transportation documents, such as sea waybills and air waybills, can prove the transportation situation of the goods and are sometimes required by agents.
If the local area still requires foreign exchange cancellation forms, they must also be prepared. These were previously used to supervise enterprises' export remittance situations. Although the process has been simplified in some areas, it is good to confirm.
For import and processing for re-export business, the import and processing registration manual and relevant import raw material customs declaration forms should also be provided to prove the compliance of the import and processing business.
