There are mainly two kinds of export agents: joint agents and general agents.
(1) Joint agency is an agency mode that takes various professional and comprehensive import and export companies in our city as the agency "window", absorbs the participation of relevant units, and uniformly handles import and export business.
1. Any unit with an annual export earning capacity of more than 500,000 US dollars, certain export channels and supply channels, sufficient funds, skilled business personnel, self-financing for export and taking risks can participate in the joint agency.
2. Any unit participating in the joint agency is nominally the import and export business department of the agency "window" company, and is an independent unit at home. The original affiliation remains unchanged, the business license is issued by the Municipal Administration for Industry and Commerce, the bank has an independent account, and the tax department will refund the tax separately.
3. All the units participating in the joint agency must undertake the task of "Window" company to earn foreign exchange through export, and unify foreign negotiation, signing, settlement and promotion in the name of "Window" company. Accept the unified leadership and coordination of "Window" company in export market, variety and price, and attend managers' meetings regularly to solve various problems in business.
4. Any unit participating in joint agency shall apply to the Municipal Economic and Trade Commission in advance and submit a joint agency agreement for examination and approval by the Municipal Economic and Trade Commission. Industry and commerce, taxation, finance, banking, foreign exchange bureau, customs, commodity inspection and other departments shall go through the relevant formalities according to the approval of the Municipal Economic and Trade Commission.
5. The export agency contract is designed by Window Company and distributed to all units participating in the joint agency.

7. The agency window company has the responsibility to support the units participating in the joint agency to expand export earnings; Units participating in the joint agency should strive to complete the task of earning foreign exchange through export issued by the window company. If they fail to complete the task or operate illegally for a long time, their agency qualification will be cancelled.
(two) generally by professional foreign trade companies and industry and trade companies mainly take the following two ways:
1. The production enterprise (the entrusting party) puts forward the export price range of a certain product, entrusts a foreign trade company (the agent) to sell it, and signs an export contract. The contract is executed by the production enterprise, which is responsible for its own profits and losses, and the foreign trade company collects agency fees.
2. If the product manufacturer has customers, the foreign trade company can sign a power of attorney with the manufacturer, and the enterprise can use the contract paper of the foreign trade company to sign an export contract with foreign businessmen. The contract is executed by the production enterprise, which is responsible for its own profits and losses, and the foreign trade company collects the handling fee.
The above two ways of agency must be voluntary. The plan for earning foreign exchange from the export of the Union is issued by the Municipal Economic and Trade Commission to the "window" company, including the plan indicators of all participating units of the Union. The statistics of foreign exchange earned by export shall be reported to the Municipal Economic and Trade Commission by the "window" company, and the "window" company shall settle accounts for the agency in time. Two. Measures for import agency
All foreign trade companies and industry and trade companies can act as import agents for enterprises (users).
(1) Enterprises may, on a voluntary basis, handle import agency business through joint agency with relevant foreign trade professional companies.

(3) If the enterprise has an import plan and imports foreign exchange or RMB funds, the agency "window" company can find the purchase channel for the enterprise and charge the agency fee according to the regulations. Three. Agency measures of barter trade
Foreign trade companies with barter rights in CIS, Eastern European countries, North Korea, Mongolia, Laos and other countries can engage in barter agency business according to their business scope. Enterprises and agency "window" companies can take the above-mentioned import and export agency measures according to specific conditions. The barter trade contract signed shall take effect after being approved by the Municipal Economic and Trade Commission. Four, the provisions of the agency fee
