If the actual delivery is inconsistent with the declared one, or there are other errors and omissions, and the content of the certificate of origin needs to be modified and supplemented, the reason for the change must be stated and the basis must be provided. After the visa agency reviews and meets the requirements, the application procedures must be re-processed, the original certificate of origin must be withdrawn, and a new certificate must be issued. If the issued certificate of origin is lost or damaged, within six months from the date of issuance, the applicant must state the reason and provide the basis to the visa agency, and re-process the application procedures after the visa agency reviews and agrees. The visa agency will indicate on the new visa “The original certificate of origin No. XX issued on XX/XX/XX is invalid”. The visa agency mentioned here can be the Import and Export Commodity Inspection and Quarantine Bureau or the trade promotion associations in various places.
The correct and complete preparation of documents lays the foundation for collecting payment. However, how to smoothly collect payment after delivering the goods documents is still something we need to pay special attention to. If the payment cannot be collected in time and safely, all business will be in vain. We have said before that in order to ensure that exporters can recover the payment, the common practice in theory is letter of credit. In fact, in addition to letters of credit, there are several other settlement methods. However, letters of credit are still the safest and most secure – of course, they are also the most expensive.
