The company, which previously conducted self-operated exports, now commissions an agent for exporting goods. Unsure how to declare taxes, they are asking about the specific procedures, required documents, and differences from the self-operated export declaration process. The best answer points out that the principal is typically the tax refund entity, needing to obtain documents like the certificate for commissioned export goods, and declares data in the e-tax bureau under the commissioned export agency business type. There are also differences from self-operated exports in terms of key documents and business type selection.

There are indeed companies in Yiwu that act as agents for tea export, such as Zhongmaoda. Choosing an export agent can help you handle complex export procedures.
The general process for agent export is as follows: First, you need to sign an agency agreement with the agent company, clarifying the rights and obligations of both parties. Then, provide tea-related information, including product specifications, quality standards, etc. The agent company will be responsible for handling export licenses, customs declaration, and other procedures. For goods transportation, they can also assist in arranging bookings, transportation, and other matters. As for the fees, they usually include agency fees, customs declaration fees, transportation fees, etc. Agency fees are generally charged as a certain percentage of the export amount, and the percentage varies among different companies. When choosing an agent, you should assess their qualifications, reputation, and past performance to ensure a smooth cooperation.
You can find suitable agents through online searches, industry exhibitions, recommendations from peers, and other methods.
