Generally speaking, it is not recommended for foreign trade companies to adopt exw transaction, because if a customer makes such a request, then our foreign trade company must clear the customs for the export, and then let the customer bear the corresponding expenses.
However, before the exw transaction mode is signed in advance, a separate contract should be signed or the issue that the customs declaration fee should be borne by the buyer should be directly indicated in the contract.
1.EXW means ex works. Our foreign trade salesman is responsible for preparing goods at our location and delivering them to customers, but our foreign trade salesman is not responsible for loading and customs clearance. EXW is responsible for all costs and risks of transporting the goods from the foreign trade salesman to the final destination.
Second, matters needing attention in EXW export declaration and tax refund.
When trading through EXW, we must pay attention to the following two points of tax refund:
1. First of all, when we declare, we must declare in the name of the shipper. If you declare in someone else's name, there will be some unnecessary troubles, such as complicated procedures or the need for the consignor to go to the customs repeatedly to handle the corresponding materials, which will make our consignor waste a lot of time and energy.
When our foreign trade consignor declares customs, we must ask our customers to provide us with copies of the relevant bills of lading, because these copies need to be provided by our consignor to all departments at the time of customs declaration. If our customers don't provide us with copies, our foreign trade consignors can only provide letters and telegrams or explain them to the competent national tax authorities in advance.
Generally speaking, EXW export customs declaration is more troublesome than fob, and it is generally recommended that foreign trade exporters use fob for trade and customs declaration and tax refund. Compared with EXW export declaration, fob export declaration is simpler and has fewer restrictions on the subject of declaration, which is a very reliable way of export declaration in international trade.
