General

No export right, no business license, no invoice, can you do international trade export? Can self-employed workers and small workshops without factories do international trade export?

The answer is: everything is OK! In fact, doing foreign trade is not as difficult as you think!

The State promulgated the Foreign Trade Law as early as July 1, 2004. In order to promote the development of foreign trade, the examination and approval of the foreign trade operation right of all foreign trade operators was cancelled, and the scope of foreign trade business was expanded. Individuals can also engage in foreign trade business after fulfilling legal procedures.

The "legal procedure" mentioned here is what we want to focus on today: how to handle customs declaration and export shipment without import and export right, even without business license, without VAT invoice, individual, small workshop, etc?

We handle export mainly in three ways: 1. Self operated export; 2. Export agency; 3. Pay for export.

01 Self operated export

Scope of application: ① Professional foreign trade companies; ② It is a factory specializing in international trade. They have the right to import and export, and have their own personnel to handle customs declaration and inspection, foreign exchange settlement and tax refund procedures. We won't say much here.

02 Agent export

Scope of application: ① General taxpayer enterprises do not have their own import and export rights, or they have import and export rights but have no experience in handling import and export procedures; ② Domestic dealers and individuals, whose factories are general taxpayer enterprises. (The key is to apply for export tax rebate subsidy to the state with the invoice)

Export agency is a form in which an ordinary taxpayer enterprise or a dealer or individual who can obtain a special VAT invoice entrusts a foreign trade agency to handle import and export procedures and obtain export tax rebate subsidies without import and export rights or export experience. Foreign trade agency companies are equivalent to professional foreign trade companies. They can use their import and export rights to help us handle collection and settlement of foreign exchange, customs declaration and inspection, tax refund and other work.

In fact, generally, factories and individuals just doing foreign trade will do foreign trade through the agency of export, because the agency company can help customs declaration and inspection, foreign exchange tax refund and so on. After a period of cooperation, the factory will expand, and after the export process is straightened out, they can apply for import and export rights themselves.

There are several advantages to export through agency: First, we are just doing foreign trade, and we are not familiar with the export process. The customs and other relevant departments need to make some connections. Finding a powerful foreign trade agency can get twice the result with half the effort; The second is to save labor costs. For self operated exports, special personnel are required to run receipts, commodity inspection and tax refund. How much do you calculate your salary? Now the agency export cost is generally low, generally about 0.5% of the value of goods. Within the acceptable range, it saves time and labor, and is safe and convenient. Why not?

In addition, small and medium-sized enterprises are the main force of China's foreign trade and even the entire Chinese economy. Now the state is also increasing efforts to support small and medium-sized enterprises and help them expand their import and export. The government not only encourages and supports more small and medium-sized enterprises to do foreign trade through agency export, reduces our export costs, and promotes the innovative development of international trade, but also has certain policies and preferential subsidies, so it will become more and more convenient for us to do foreign trade in the future.

03 Paying for export

Scope of application: ① No invoice and no business license. ② Small scale taxpayers. ③ Individual. ④ Workshop. ⑤ Domestic dealers, individuals and factories that take the goods cannot issue VAT invoices. ⑥ Enterprises with relatively low tax rebates.

The common feature of all the above situations is that we cannot issue invoices, so we do not pay taxes, so we do not need to apply for tax refund. This saves such a link of issuing invoices to pay taxes and then applying for export tax refund. So in this case, we just need to find a professional and regular freight forwarding company to buy an "export verification sheet" (cost 100-200 yuan) after receiving foreign orders, and then go through the normal customs declaration.

As long as the goods pass the customs declaration and are released smoothly, the process of paying bills for customs declaration is completed. Next, the freight forwarder will help us handle the normal export shipment transportation. We don't need to worry about these processes, just entrust them to the freight forwarding company.

So now we can know that it is very complicated to do foreign trade, and it is difficult to handle exports. It belongs to the scope of "self operated exports". All things are handled by ourselves, which is naturally time-consuming and laborious. In fact, even if we do not have the right to import and export, and do not have a business license, we cannot issue invoices and do not handle exports. We can also do foreign trade through the two ways of "agency export" and "bill export". All complicated processes and formalities can be handed over to foreign trade agents and freight forwarders, so we can save 30% of our time and energy by spending a little money, which is definitely the best choice. And most of our energy can be put on customer development, order price negotiation and other aspects.

As for the difference between "acting for export" and "paying for export", it depends on whether VAT invoices can be issued. To issue invoices, we need to handle tax refund through "agent export"; Without issuing invoices and handling tax refund, we will "pay the bill for export". So whether you can export has little to do with whether you have business license, import and export right, invoice, factory, small workshop or individual!

Next, we sorted out the process of finding foreign customers to receive orders through Huacheng Chuangzhi. You can see the following:

1. The first step in international trade is to find a large number of customers and actively promote yourself. Global Express can find a large number of foreign customers based on your products, which can be developed in more than 200 countries. Professional after-sales customer service personnel will teach you how to operate the system.

2. After finding the customer, the after-sales service will assist you to edit the product promotion letter according to your product, and send it to the foreigner's email. The foreigner will reply to you after receiving the email, asking about the product and price.

3. Next, the after-sales service will assist you to make a professional foreign trade product catalog and quotation list, and further negotiate orders with foreigners.

4. After confirming the products and prices required by foreigners, you can sign an export agreement, followed by foreign trade orders.

5. After receiving the order, the foreigner first gives you a deposit, which is 30% - 100% possible.

6. After you receive the deposit, arrange production and stock up. When the goods are almost ready, you should inform the freight forwarding company to help you book the cabin and container. During the preparation, you should communicate with the customer, report the production process, prepare the goods and send the warehouse or product pictures to the customer to prove that the goods are ready and ask him to make up the balance.

7. After receiving all the balance payment, you ask the freight forwarding company to arrange container trailers to come to your side to pick up the goods. After the goods are transported to the port, they will have a customs broker to help you go through the customs clearance procedures, load the goods into containers, and prepare to send them to foreigners.

8. After the goods are on board, the freight forwarder will give you the bill of lading. If you send the bill of lading to the customer and the goods arrive at the port of the foreigner, he can pick up the goods with the bill of lading.
