How deep is the water for consignment exports?

"Obviously the product has strong competitiveness, but it is stuck on the export process..." This is the biggest pain point that Mr. Zhang has experienced in foreign trade business for three years. Until he came into contact with Dongxing's consignment export service, all the cumbersome problems of customs declaration, tax rebates, logistics, etc. were easily solved. Today, let's reveal this solution that enables small and medium-sized foreign trade enterprises to "go into battle lightly".

Ms. Li still remembers with a shudder the experience of completing an export order independently for the first time: "I thought everything would be fine once the goods were on board, but as a result, the goods were detained by the customs due to non-compliance with the documents and almost lost all the profits." Similar cases are common among small and medium-sized enterprises lacking experience:

• Omission of customs declaration materials: Repeated modifications due to unfamiliarity with HS code rules
• Out-of-control tax costs: Losing 10% of profits due to missing the tax rebate declaration period
• Low logistics efficiency: Increasing 20% of hidden costs by choosing an inappropriate transportation plan

1. Whole-process document butler
From proforma invoice to certificate of origin, it is reviewed one-on-one by a senior customs declarer to ensure that the "first-pass rate" reaches 98%. After a lighting exporter adopted this service, the average customs clearance time was shortened from 5 days to 8 hours.

2. Intelligent tax optimization
Automatically match the latest tax rebate policies through the ERP system, and in 2023 alone, it recovered more than 2 million yuan in tax rebates for customers. The system will also issue early warnings for "sensitive items" to avoid compliance risks.

3. Global logistics network
Integrate the resources of top carriers in 37 countries and provide combined solutions for sea transportation/air transportation/China-Europe railway express. Compared with traditional channels, small and medium-sized enterprises can save an average of 15%-30% in freight costs.

Mr. Zhang, who mainly deals in mother and baby products, once almost withdrew from the foreign trade market due to three consecutive damaged shipments. After connecting to Dongxing's service:

• Lowered the damage rate to 0.5% by pre-installing shock-proof packaging solutions
• Increased the on-time delivery time by 40% by using the EU pre-declaration channel
• Recovered 2 overdue accounts receivable with the help of export credit insurance

You may want to take a quick self-test:
• Do you incur additional warehousing fees every year due to document problems?
• Are you clear about the tariff preferences under the latest free trade agreement?
• Do you have a special person to track the real-time status of each shipment?

If any of the above answers is "No", maybe it's time to re-evaluate your export strategy. Welcome to share your foreign trade experience in the comment area or send a private message to get an electronic version of the small and medium-sized enterprise export risk avoidance guide.
