(1) Looking for foreign tradeAgent for import and export。
The so-called foreign trade agent import and export is to help companies or individuals without export rights export, processing customs declaration data, foreign exchange settlement, tax refund and other foreign trade processes, also known as one-stop service。The difference between paying for exports is that the import and export agent can refund the tax, and foreign exchange is the settlement of the agent account, which can avoid the inconvenience of personal accounts。The basic process of agent import and export: (take SOHO as an example)
1.Signing agreements with import and export agents;
2.2.soho makes pi(attached agent account) and sends it to foreign customers, who transfer the money to the agent account;If SOHO has an offshore account, the foreign payment will be transferred to the agent account;The agent will settle the exchange after receiving it。
3.Settlement of exchange upon receipt。3.Agree with the factory on the method and time of payment, so that the agent can transfer the payment to the factory or personal account。
4.Factory arrange production, responsible for commodity inspection。
5.After the goods leave the factory, find the forwarder who has signed the agreement, prepare the export contract (customs declaration information) of the packing list invoice and provide it to the forwarder。
6.Freight forwarders are responsible for customs declaration, port operation and transportation。
7.After the customs pre-records the joint bill of lading, notify the factory to issue an additional invoice (do not issue the invoice in a hurry, because the product information on the additional invoice must be consistent with the customs declaration form before tax refund)。
8.Application for tax refund (or advance tax refund) after invoice increase, bill of lading, foreign exchange
9.After the tax refund, it goes into a private account with the pre-tax profit (pre-tax profit can also be settled before the tax refund)。Please note that when making a private payment, you are required to pay 1.5%-3% personal income tax, which requires deductions and transparent fees。Some people cannot deduct tax points but need to provide shipping invoices。
Note:
1.Issue of additional ticket: Through the agent export, the factory must open the agent's letterhead of the additional ticket in order to obtain the national tax refund。Please note that the increase must be consistent with the information on the customs declaration form, otherwise there will be no refund。
2.Tax refund problem: Export through agents, mainly in order to obtain tax rebates。The tax refund should meet several necessary conditions:
(1) The factory can issue an official invoice increase
(2) The payment of the factory must be drawn from the agent's account and the amount shall be consistent with the amount of the issue
(3) Information can be found in the electronic port of the national tax system。
3.Receipt and settlement of foreign exchange issues: whether the foreign money is transferred directly to the agent or through offshore transfer to the agent, it is necessary to note that foreign exchange must be remitted from overseas (the current Hong Kong account is also overseas), no limit to the region。
The difference between the amount of foreign exchange received by the agent and the amount declared should be within 5%, and a little more or less dollars will not be affected as long as it is within a reasonable range。
