The procedures and formalities of flower export are complicated, and each procedure needs to be properly performed. First of all, according to the supply contract signed with customers, flower production enterprises assemble goods after determining the variety and quantity of supply, and entrust an agent company with import and export rights (hereinafter referred to as the consignor) to carry out inspection, quarantine, customs declaration and other operations. The specific procedures are as follows:

Seedlings for export inspection shall be declared to the local entry-exit inspection and quarantine bureau 1 ~ 2 days in advance, and accurate information such as quantity, number of pieces, gross weight and net weight shall be provided. After the inspectors specially trained by the Inspection and Quarantine Bureau fill in the inspection declaration form, they will report to the inspection office of the Inspection and Quarantine Bureau for inspection. After the quarantine organ sends quarantine personnel for quarantine inspection, it will issue a customs clearance form and quarantine certificate, and then the quarantine organ will forward these documents to the inspection and quarantine organ. Inspectors shall pay fees before obtaining evidence. The whole inspection time takes 0.5 to 2 days at the earliest.

When applying for inspection, the export agency must immediately determine the export space from the airline or air freight forwarding company, and provide the delivery quantity, weight, number of pieces, packaging specifications, etc.

According to the date of shipment, the consignor of export declaration should go to the customs declaration hall of the customs building with quarantine certificate, customs clearance form, invoice packing list, export receipt verification form and other relevant documents 0.5 days to 1 day before shipment. If you export orchids, you need to provide an endangered plant protection certificate.

After obtaining all the above certificates, the flower products will be transported to the airport several hours before the flight takes off (see airport regulations for details).

Foreign exchange verification According to the relevant regulations of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, an export agency with a certain reputation will first receive a foreign exchange verification form from the Administration of Foreign Exchange, and fill in the foreign exchange verification form according to the variety, quantity, unit price and total amount of foreign exchange sold. The shipper will write off foreign exchange within a certain period of time, at the latest before receiving the next batch of foreign exchange write-off documents. If the flowers of the export flower company are damaged, the quality is not up to standard, and the foreign exchange refuses to pay, it will directly affect the operation of foreign exchange verification.

Export Tax Refund The State encourages export and refunds the value-added tax paid by export enterprises. Shippers need to submit export declaration forms, foreign exchange verification forms with written-off foreign exchange, value-added tax invoices, special payment books for export, export invoices and other documents to the tax bureau for tax refund. At present, the tax refund for flower enterprises is levied three times and refunded five times.
