Is the water too deep in import agency? Shaanxi enterprises save millions by doing this way

"From New Zealand milk powder to German precision instruments, the overseas purchase price is clearly more favorable. Why are Shaanxi enterprises still hesitant to do imports?" This is the confusion of Mr. Zhang from a foreign trade company in Xi'an High-tech Zone. With the explosive growth of cross-border e-commerce, the import demand of Shaanxi enterprises has surged. However, the complicated customs clearance process, tax rules and logistics costs have deterred many merchants. This article will uncover the operation logic of the Shaanxi International Import Agency industry and analyze how to break through geographical restrictions through professional services.

Unlike coastal port cities, Shaanxi enterprises face unique challenges in carrying out import business:

• Logistics Cost Trap: The inland transshipment cost after air transportation to the port may account for 15% of the value of the goods.
• Policy Understanding Deviation: The 2023 new version of the cross-border e-commerce retail import list has adjusted the access rules of 32 types of goods.
• Tax Optimization Blind Spot: The tariff difference between the special supervision policies of the free trade zone and general trade can reach 30%.

The localized service providers represented by Zhongshitong are reconstructing the ecosystem of Shaanxi import business:

• Customs Affairs Prediction System: Track the adjustment dynamics of HS codes six months in advance.
• Logistics Combination Scheme: The China-Europe Railway Express + Bonded Warehouse model can reduce the timeliness cost by 20%.
• Compliance Risk Control System: The whole-process qualification management of special goods such as medical devices.
• Capital Turnover Support: The financial closed loop from the opening of letters of credit to the advance payment of taxes.

The experience of Ms. Li from a biotechnology company in Xianyang is quite representative:

In 2022, when she first tried to import French collagen raw materials, the whole container of goods was stranded at the port due to the failure to handle the record certificate of imported cosmetics, resulting in a daily demurrage charge of 5,000 yuan. After cooperating with Zhongshitong, through the "advance declaration + bonded R & D" model, not only the customs clearance was completed, but also 17% of the value-added tax was exempted by taking advantage of the policies of the comprehensive bonded zone.

With the acceleration of the construction of Xi'an International Aviation Hub, the import agency industry will present new characteristics:

• The import share of cold-chain drugs is expected to increase by 40% annually.
• The RCEP rules of origin have spurred the boom in importing parts from Southeast Asia.
• The "cross-border e-commerce + offline experience store" model is reconstructing the import consumption scenario.
