What does trade mean? Trade is the exchange of goods or services on the basis of equality and mutual consent. Trade takes place in exchange markets. The original form of trade is barter, which is the direct exchange of goods and services. Modern trade generally uses a medium (money) to substitute for trade equality. Trading companies are divided into general taxpayers and small-scale taxpayers. Then, how to register import and export trading companies in Shanghai? 

Shanghai Import and Export Company Registration Process 
1. Company Name Approval: generally prepare 5-8 names; company name filling specification: registered region + company name + industry suffix + company type; The name of an enterprise applying for registration shall not be identical with or similar to the characters of another person or a time-honored shop, except with the written consent of the owner of the time-honored shop. The name of the enterprise applying for registration shall not be the same as or similar to well-known provincial firm names. If there are other agreements between enterprises having investment relations, such agreements shall prevail.

6. Open a basic account: Open a basic account at a bank with the business license.

Which district in Shanghai is appropriate for import and export trade company registration? 
For trading companies registered in Shanghai, they generally need to issue value-added tax invoices, so the tightness of the general taxpayer qualification in Shanghai districts impacts the settlement of trading companies. Then which district is better to register?  What are the relevant policies? Is there any industry subsidy? 

Choose which area to register, mainly depends on several factors: price, time, supervision, tax return strength, other policies. 
1. Price: The general registered address of the suburb is basically free. For the specific address of applying license or the acceptance of foreign enterprises, there will be an address fee in Waigaoqiao Free Trade Zone.
2. Time: At present, it is more convenient for real-name authentication on the network. Basically, it costs 3-5 work days to get the business license after passing the name approval. However, according to Tannet's experience, Pudong Lingang's name approval is quite slow, and Fengxian's audit is strict, it will also delay time to queue up for affairs in the later period.
3. Supervision: It is roughly the same, the urban area is relatively stricter than the suburbs.
4, Tax Return Strength: Chongming > Fengxian > Baoshan > other suburbs > central city, general urban areas do not have tax return.
5.Industry Subsidies: The science and technology industry in Zhangjiang is typically subsidized, which requires the company to apply for it when it meets the conditions in its later operation. Pay attention to relevant policies. 

In addition, there are some industries need relevant licenses, then we should pay attention to the selection of addresses. Some park addresses can not apply licenses. If you do not prepare early, it will be very troublesome to change address or re-register later. There is a special area - Lingang Free Trade Zone, which is a newly opened zone, and enjoys the policy of free trade zone.

Lingang has import and export tax rebates, and it can shorten the social security life for Shanghai purchasing house and settling. It is good to register here. There is more than one free trade zone in Shanghai, for example, Waigaoqiao has address fees and not all enterprises can enjoy policies. There are preferential policies for import, export and processing trade companies, depending on what industry they operate, and Tannet can recommend.
