the full name of import and export right refers to the right to operate import and export independently. Import and export right refers to the qualification of import and export enterprises to carry out import and export business. Applying for import and export right needs to go through a complicated examination and approval process. The enterprise that intends to apply for import and export must be approved by the Municipal Bureau of Commerce, the municipal/district customs, the inspection and quarantine bureau, the foreign exchange administration, the electronic port and other relevant departments at the same time, and only after obtaining various certificates approved by the above departments can it be said that the company has the right to import and export on its own. Only enterprises with import and export rights can independently engage in import and export business according to law. Shanghai's handling of import and export rights is complicated, with many processes, and strict requirements for the examination and approval of enterprise information.
