The tax refund declaration data must be accurately entered, especially key information such as amounts and quantities. Once errors are made, the review will not pass, and you will have to re-declare, which will delay the process.

Pay attention to the export date of the goods and the declaration deadline. If the declaration time is missed, the tax refund may not be possible, and the goods may be treated as domestic sales and taxed, which will increase the company’s costs.
