Among them, the e-cigarette export enterprises also need to associate the export products on the "Export Product Authorization Application" page, then fill in the export related information, and finally agree to the "Electronic Commitment Letter for Export Products".

After the enterprise completes the export declaration, confirm the export information in the "Related Materials" interface and upload the invoice, packing list, customs declaration and other documents to complete the export business filing.
