Generally, the export agency process can be written as follows: First is the (commission) stage. The exporter and Zhongmaoda sign an agency export agreement, clarifying the rights and obligations of both parties. Key information such as agency fees and service scope needs to be specified.
Second is the preparation stage. The exporter provides detailed cargo information, including name, quantity, value, etc. Zhongmaoda then handles procedures such as export licenses and commodity inspection. During this period, documents such as commercial invoices and packing lists need to be prepared.
Next is cargo shipment. Bookings are made for transportation, and the bill of lading is obtained after the cargo is loaded onto the ship.
Then comes customs declaration and forex settlement. Zhongmaoda declares customs with relevant documents. After the cargo clears customs, received foreign exchange is settled.
Finally, it's settlement. Fees are settled with the exporter, and the remaining payment is made.

When writing the process, pay attention to timelines, such as how long it takes to obtain a license and how far in advance to book shipping. Different goods have different regulatory conditions, so related procedures should be clearly written. For example, if some require animal and plant quarantine, the process should reflect how to prepare the quarantine certificate.

Remember to clearly write down the flow of documents, such as who prepares the commercial invoice and who reviews it. How the bill of lading is passed to the client after it is obtained, etc., will make the process clearer.

Risk control can also be included in the process, such as exchange rate fluctuation risks. How to agree on coping methods with the exporter in advance can avoid disputes during settlement.

Don't forget to write about after-sales service. If the customer provides feedback after the goods are exported, how the agent will assist the exporter in handling it.
