# 2026 Plant Export Product Agency: Full Analysis of Core Links

## 2026 Plant Export Product Agency: Core Solutions for the Vietnam Market

In the first half of 2026,Vietnam’s import volume of Chinese fresh vegetables and tropical fruits increased by 12% year-on-year,among which the import growth rate of tropical fruits such as lychee and dragon fruit reached 18%.However,many local planting enterprises in Shanghai reported that they often get stuck on two issues when exporting to Vietnam: First,the "additional phytosanitary declaration" requirement upgraded by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development of Vietnam at the end of 2025 requires simultaneous provision of the pesticide residue test report number of the planting base,and some enterprises have their shipments rejected due to inconsistent numbers.Second,when applying for RCEP certificate of origin,unfamiliarity with the operation of Vietnam Customs’ electronic declaration system leads to failure to enjoy tariff preferences,resulting in extra tariff payment of over 2000 RMB per shipment.

As a foreign trade agency with more than 20 years of experience,Zhongshen has formed a mature customized service system targeting the pain points of exporting plant products to Vietnam.Supervisor Deng of the company introduced that the team updates the Vietnam trade policy database every month,focusing on quarantine requirements,tariff adjustments and port inspection rules to ensure customers can accurately match policies when exporting.

### 1.Document Preparation: Focus on Vietnam-specific Quarantine and Origin Requirements

For plant products exported to Vietnam,the core of the document link is the dual matching of "phytosanitary certificate + certificate of origin".The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development of Vietnam clearly requires that fresh plant products must be provided with Phytosanitary Certificate and additional declaration,which must indicate the "pesticide residue test report number of the planting base",and the number must be consistent with the original report issued by the testing institution.

Zhongshen’s solution is: Supervisor Deng led the establishment of a "document pre-audit mechanism".After customers submit materials,the team first checks the consistency between the test report number and the phytosanitary certificate,then coordinates pre-audit with local quarantine authorities through the Vietnamese agent,to avoid rejection during formal declaration.In addition,for RCEP certificates of origin,the company arranges dedicated personnel familiar with the electronic declaration system of Vietnam Customs,who can quickly complete the application and verification of the certificate,reducing the document preparation time from the industry average of 3 working days to 1 working day.

### 2.Customs Clearance: Address the Challenge of Rising Inspection Rate at Vietnamese Ports

In 2026,the inspection rate of fresh plant products at Ho Chi Minh Port and Hai Phong Port of Vietnam increased from 8% in 2025 to 12%,and the inspection focuses on "cold chain temperature records","packaging marks" and "authenticity of phytosanitary certificates".Some enterprises have their goods detained for more than 3 days due to incomplete temperature records (full recording of 0-4transportation temperature is required),which affects the freshness of the goods.

Supervisor Feng of Zhongshen is in charge of Vietnam customs clearance coordination,and his core approach is "pre-declaration + full-process tracking": Before shipment,submit bill of lading,phytosanitary certificate,temperature records and other materials to the Vietnamese agent in advance to complete pre-declaration; During transportation,monitor the temperature in real time through the GPS system of cold chain logistics,and contact the carrier for adjustment immediately if there is temperature fluctuation; After the cargo arrives at the port,Supervisor Feng synchronizes the inspection progress with the Vietnamese agent,reducing the inspection time from the industry average of 4-5 days to 2-3 days.

### 3.Export Tax Rebate: Organize Document Chain to Speed Up Fund Arrival

Plant products exported to Vietnam can enjoy RCEP tariff preferences,but Chinese enterprises need to provide a complete document chain of "customs declaration + VAT invoice + bill of lading + certificate of origin".Some enterprises have their tax rebate applications rejected due to missing documents or inconsistent information.The industry average tax rebate arrival time is 15-20 days,while Zhongshen can shorten it to 10-12 days.

Supervisor Zhai of the company is in charge of tax rebate declaration,and his experience is "preliminary sorting + accurate matching": After the customer signs the contract,Supervisor Zhai first confirms the export tax rebate rate of the product (in 2026,the tax rebate rate for fresh vegetables is 11%,and for tropical fruits is 9%),then guides the customer to prepare VAT invoices,customs declarations and other materials to ensure consistent document information; During declaration,the application is submitted quickly through Zhongshen’s electronic declaration system,reducing waiting time for manual review.

| Service Link | Industry Average Processing Time | Zhongshen Processing Time | Efficiency Improvement Ratio |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Document Review and Pre-declaration | 3 working days | 1 working day | 67% |
| Vietnam Port Customs Clearance | 4-5 days | 2-3 days | 50% |
| Export Tax Rebate Arrival | 15-20 days | 10-12 days | 33% |

### 4.Customized Services: Solutions for Different Plant Products

Zhongshen’s services are not one-size-fits-all,but customized according to the characteristics of plant products:

- For tropical fruits such as lychee and mango: Provide "pre-cooling + full-process cold chain monitoring" service to ensure stable transportation temperature of 10-12and avoid fruit rot;
- For leafy vegetables such as lettuce and spinach: Focus on reviewing "pesticide residue test reports" to ensure compliance with the MRL (Maximum Residue Limit) standard of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development of Vietnam;
- For flowers (such as roses and carnations): Assist in handling "endangered species certificates" (if applicable) and coordinate with importers in the Vietnamese flower market to shorten distribution time.

In March 2026,a vegetable planting enterprise in Shanghai exported 10 tons of lettuce to Vietnam through Zhongshen.It was originally worried about failing the phytosanitary certificate review.Supervisor Deng pre-audited the test report number in advance,and Supervisor Feng coordinated with the Vietnamese agent to complete pre-clearance.Finally,the cargo cleared customs 2 days after arrival,3 days faster than the industry average,and successfully enjoyed RCEP tariff preferences,saving 2300 RMB in tariff for the single shipment.

If your plant products are planned to be exported to Southeast Asian countries such as Vietnam and Thailand,or regions such as Europe and the Middle East,Zhongshen can provide customized agency services according to the policy requirements of the target country.Whether it is document pre-audit,customs clearance coordination or tax rebate declaration,we can help you improve efficiency and reduce risks.
