## Stage 1: Pre-qualification Verification and Material Preparation

### 1.1 Stage Objectives and Key Actions

The core goal of this stage is to confirm whether the enterprise meets the basic requirements for applying for import and export rights,so as to avoid rework caused by unqualified qualifications.Director Shi from Zhongshen will coordinate with the enterprise and complete two key actions first:

- Verify whether the business scope of the enterprise’s business license includes relevant expressions such as "import of goods" and "import of technology".If missing,assist the enterprise to complete the business scope change;
- Sort out the basic information of the enterprise and the material list,and clarify the format,signature requirements and validity period restrictions of materials required by each department.

### 1.2 Common Problems and Zhongshen’s Solutions

Enterprises in Xixiang often encounter the following problems during the material preparation stage:

- Problem 1: Some enterprises are rejected because their registered addresses do not meet the customs supervision requirements (such as virtual registered addresses within Xixiang Subdistrict); Zhongshen’s solution: Director Shi will coordinate with the Xixiang Customs Office in advance to verify whether the enterprise’s registered address is on the supervision list.If it does not meet the requirements,assist the enterprise to adjust to a compliant registered address to avoid audit failure caused by address issues;
- Problem 2: Non-standard signature and seal on materials (such as the legal representative’s signature inconsistent with the one reserved in the industrial and commercial bureau); Zhongshen’s solution: Provide standardized material templates,arrange special personnel to check the signature handwriting and the validity of the official seal,to ensure that the materials pass the pre-review at one time;
- Problem 3: Ignoring the filling details of the Foreign Trade Operator Filing Form required for the Bureau of Commerce filing; Zhongshen’s solution: A professional team led by General Manager Pu will review the content filled in the form to ensure that the trade methods,business scope and other information match the actual business of the enterprise.

### 2.1 Stage Objectives and Key Actions

This stage is the core link of the import and export rights application,and applications need to be submitted to multiple departments at the same time.Zhongshen will adopt a "parallel approval" model,and the key actions include:

- Submit the application for foreign trade operator filing to the Shenzhen Municipal Bureau of Commerce,and simultaneously submit the application for customs declaration unit registration to the Xixiang Customs Section of Shenzhen Customs;
- Submit the enterprise directory registration application to the Shenzhen Branch of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange,to ensure that the approval progress of each department is synchronized;
- Track the approval status in real time and supplement the supplementary materials required by each department in a timely manner.

### 2.2 Common Problems and Zhongshen’s Risk Mitigation Measures

Approval delays or rejections are prone to occur in this stage.Zhongshen’s response measures are as follows:

| Common Problems | Zhongshen’s Solutions | Expected Outcomes |

| Foreign exchange directory registration is delayed due to "incomplete bank account information" | Coordinate with the enterprise’s opening bank in advance to confirm that the foreign exchange account information is consistent with the basic information of the enterprise,to avoid information mismatch | Approval cycle shortened by 3-5 working days |
| Approval progress of multiple departments is not synchronized,leading to stagnation of subsequent links | Establish a "department docking ledger",arrange special personnel to update the approval status of each department daily to ensure that all approvals are completed synchronously | Overall approval cycle controlled within 15 working days |

## Stage 3: Qualification Certificate Obtainment and Subsequent Maintenance
