At this moment, he just wanted to tell all foreign trade people: Export customs declaration and tax rebate is not a process, but a technical task.

After Ms. Li's clothing factory changed the agency company last year, the tax rebate rate increased from 9% to 13%. The secret of professional agents lies in:

• Dynamically track the national customs valuation database and match the optimal declaration plan
• Use processing trade manuals instead of general trade to legally reduce the taxable base
• The pre-audit system automatically avoids the triggering of manual inspection by "high-risk product names"

When exporting stainless steel products once, the consultant of Zhongshitong found that the customer mistakenly declared "hardware parts" instead of "kitchen utensils", and only this item recovered 27,000 yuan in taxes.

According to the data of the General Administration of Customs in 2023, 31.6% of tax rebate delays are due to three types of mistakes:

• The product name does not match the physical object (such as "cotton T-shirt" written as "knitted shirt")
• The transaction method does not reflect the freight sharing (mixing CIF and FOB)
• The origin certificate is not attached (especially for customers in RCEP member states)

The professional agent's electronic customs declaration system will real-time verify more than 200 risk points, with an efficiency improvement of 17 times compared to manual review.

• Pre-register the "tax rebate whitelist" in advance to exempt from the waiting period for document filing
• Use the "direct connection to the customs" channel, and the tax amount will reach the enterprise account directly
• Submit an export goods tax planning report quarterly to reduce the probability of inspection

This set of combination punches has increased the enterprise's cash flow turnover rate by 40% year-on-year.
