Do you believe in the black-box operation of import and export agency?

"Mr. Zhang recently received an overseas order, but got stuck in the customs declaration process for a whole two weeks; Ms. Li's cross-border e-commerce business lost tens of thousands of yuan due to logistics delays..." Such stories are every day in the foreign trade industry. Import and export agency and goods export seem simple, but actually hide mysteries. This article will take you to uncover the mystery of this industry and master the core rules of efficient customs clearance.

In global trade, 73% of small and medium-sized enterprises will choose professional agency services. Import and export agencies are not only familiar with the customs regulations of various countries, but can also solve the following pain points:

• The risk of return due to errors in customs declaration documents
• Qualification certification for special goods (such as chemicals, food)
• Tax optimization plans in cross-border transportation

Step 1: Compliance review

Before exporting, it is necessary to confirm: Is the HS code accurate? Is an export license required? A furniture manufacturer once had a whole batch of goods seized by the customs due to misreporting the HS code and suffered heavy losses.

Step 2: Logistics solution design

• Ocean freight: Suitable for bulk goods, low cost but long cycle
• Air freight: The first choice for urgent orders, with a freight rate 5-8 times that of ocean freight
• China-Europe Railway Express: A compromise choice that balances time and cost

It is recommended to purchase All Risks for Ocean Freight and Credit Insurance. A certain electronic product exporter last year lost 800,000 yuan in payment due to the bankruptcy of the buyer. If there was credit insurance, 90% of the loss could be recovered.

The RCEP agreement brings tariff reduction dividends, and the Southeast Asian market has witnessed rapid growth. Data shows:

• The import of Chinese mechanical and electrical products by Vietnam has increased by 34% year-on-year
• The inspection standards for agricultural products in Thailand have been relaxed by 20%
