# Detailed Explanation of Practical Key Points for Full Process of 2026 Export Agency Business

## I.Market Background and Common Challenges of Export of Electronic Consumer Goods to Vietnam in 2026

In the first quarter of 2026,Vietnam’s import volume of electronic consumer goods increased by 18.2% year-on-year,among which the demand for smart phone accessories and smart home devices is particularly prominent.The monthly average growth of electronic product orders on local e-commerce platforms Shopee and Lazada reaches 22%.However,many foreign trade enterprises in Shanghai reported that they frequently encounter problems when exporting independently:

- Mr.Wang once served a smart speaker manufacturer,which failed to prepare an energy efficiency test report recognized by Vietnam’s Ministry of Industry and Trade (MOIT) in advance,and the goods were detained at Ho Chi Minh Port for 12 days,which directly affected order delivery;
- Another enterprise misreported the type of certificate of origin due to unclear understanding of Vietnam’s tariff quota adjustment for RCEP member countries in 2026,resulting in an overpayment of 32,000 RMB in tariffs;
- Other enterprises had tax refund arrival delayed by 17 days due to the missing of Vietnam customs import declaration in tax refund materials,leading to a sharp increase in capital turnover pressure.

## II.Core Value of Zhongshen’s Export Agency Service: Policy Adaptation + Risk Underwriting

Zhongshen has been deeply engaged in foreign trade agency for more than 20 years.In response to the policy changes of the Vietnamese market in 2026,it has formed the core logic of "policy pre-research in advance + process standardization + local resource connection":

- Update the Vietnam trade policy database every month,and obtain updates of tariff adjustment,certification requirements and other information 30 days in advance;
- Cooperate with 3 MOIT-authorized laboratories and 2 port customs clearance teams in Vietnam to achieve "local needs solved locally";
- Establish a "risk early warning mechanism" to investigate compliance barriers in advance for enterprise products and avoid unexpected problems.

## III.Disassembly of Core Modules of Export Agency: Policy Adaptation and Response for Vietnamese Market

### (1) Document Compliance: Requirements of "Dual Certification + Electronic Signature" for Vietnamese Electronic Products

In 2026,Vietnam added two mandatory document requirements for electronic consumer goods: first,it is required to provide **energy efficiency test report recognized by the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Vietnam** (including ISO 17025 laboratory number); second,the certificate of origin must adopt **FORM E with electronic signature**,which needs to be verified through real-time connection with the Vietnam Customs system.When enterprises handle it independently,the error rate reaches 15% due to unfamiliarity with the certification process,and the average delay is 7 days.

Solutions adopted by Zhongshen:

- Cooperate with 3 local MOIT-authorized laboratories in Vietnam in advance,provide one-stop service of "pre-review + translation + certification" for energy efficiency testing,saving 40% of time compared with independent handling by enterprises;
- Connect with the electronic certificate of origin system of China Council for the Promotion of International Trade,realize "online application + real-time signature + customs synchronization" for FORM E,avoiding delay caused by paper document mailing;
- Establish a "three-review system for documents": the operation post conducts preliminary review of compliance,the document post conducts re-review of adaptation to Vietnamese policies,and the supervisor post conducts final review of risk points.The error rate is controlled within 0.1%.

### (2) Customs Clearance: Application for Vietnam’s "Green Channel" and Avoidance of Under-declaration Risk

In 2026,Vietnam Customs opened a "green channel" for electronic consumer goods from RCEP member countries,but the application conditions are strict: it needs to meet "cargo value ≥ 50,000 USD + no customs clearance violation record in the past 6 months + provision of supply chain traceability data".In addition,Vietnam Customs has increased the spot check on under-declared cargo value.In the first quarter of 2026,the spot check rate increased by 22% year-on-year,and the fine ranges from 10% to 20% of the cargo value.

Zhongshen’s customs clearance efficiency improvement scheme:

- Establish a "green channel pre-application mechanism": submit materials 5 days before cargo loading,obtain the review number in advance,complete electronic declaration within 12 hours after loading,and reduce customs clearance time from 48 hours to 24 hours;
- Cargo value declaration adopts double verification of "Vietnam Customs database comparison + third-party evaluation",and no under-declaration fine has occurred since 2025;
- Cooperate with local Vietnamese customs clearance teams that are familiar with the rules of "on-site inspection priority channel" of Ho Chi Minh Port and Haiphong Port,and inspected goods can be released within 12 hours.

### (3) Export Tax Refund: Response to New Requirements of Vietnam-related Declaration Form in 2026

In 2026,China added the requirement of "attaching Vietnam’s import customs declaration" for tax refund of electronic consumer goods exported to Vietnam.It is required to provide an electronic scan copy stamped by Vietnam Customs,otherwise the declaration cannot be processed.In addition,the tax refund review cycle has been extended from 15 days to 20 days (needs to be verified online with Vietnam Customs),and the tax refund delay rate reaches 30% for enterprises that fail to obtain the declaration form in time.

| Tax Refund Link | Common Problems for Independent Handling | Solutions by Zhongshen | Efficiency Improvement Effect |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Obtaining Vietnamese Customs Declaration | Requires cooperation of Vietnamese clients,10 days on average | Connect with Vietnamese customs clearance agent to get electronic declaration directly,synchronize within 3 days | Save 7 days |
| Document Preparation | Easy to miss related declaration,need supplementary materials multiple times | Provide "tax refund document list template",remind 3 days in advance,0 error rate | Avoid extra time for supplementary materials |
| Tax Declaration | Manual upload of multiple files,takes 2 days | Connect with e-tax bureau interface,one-click declaration,takes 4 hours | Reduce 80% of time |

## IV.Experience Summary of Zhongshen on Improving Customs Clearance and Tax Refund Efficiency

Zhongshen achieves efficiency improvement through three key measures:

- Policy pre-research in advance: update the Vietnam trade policy database monthly,and has already grasped 3 tariff adjustments and 2 new certification regulations in advance in 2026;
