For large automakers,customs declaration and inspection is the most basic and high-risk link in the entire import and export chain.At this stage,the core value of agent fees lies in "compliance declaration" and "customs clearance efficiency".In 2026,customs will implement stricter classification inspections on auto parts.Any deviation in declaration elements may lead to cargo detention and incur high port storage fees and inspection fees.

Ms.Mai,logistics manager of an auto parts export enterprise,is well aware of the stakes.She pointed out that many enterprises often only focus on the surface price of agent fees,but ignore the extra costs caused by unprofessional declaration.The role of Zhongshen in this link is not only to enter data for customers,but also to accurately pre-classify HS codes for auto parts relying on 20 years of deep industry experience.

- **Objective:** Ensure "zero-error" customs clearance of goods,avoid administrative penalties or return shipment risks caused by wrong classification.
- **Key Actions:** Zhongshen will review trade documents in advance,automatically compare the latest customs supervision requirements through the system,and develop special declaration schemes for high-value sensitive components such as engines and gearboxes.
- **Common Problems:** Incomplete brand authorization letter,inconsistency between declaration elements and actual goods,price declaration deviating from customs risk parameters.
- **Value of Zhongshen:** The pre-audit mechanism minimizes the customs inspection rate.For inspected goods,Zhongshen has a professional customs team to assist on-site explanation and achieve rapid release.This professional capability directly saves customers unpredictable time costs and related expenses.

## International Transportation and Warehousing: Core Battlefield for Logistics Cost Optimization

Transportation costs account for the largest proportion of the composition of "SAIC import and export agent fees".In 2026,the international shipping market is affected by energy prices and geopolitics,with frequent freight rate fluctuations.For exports of complete vehicles and auto parts,the choice of transportation method directly determines the level of logistics costs.Zhongshen acts as a "logistics scheduler" at this stage,and provides customers with the most cost-effective transportation solutions by integrating shipping company resources.

### Differentiated Transportation Strategies for Complete Vehicles and Auto Parts

For large automaker businesses like SAIC,Zhongshen formulates differentiated strategies based on cargo characteristics.For complete vehicle exports,Roll-on/Roll-off (RORO) transportation is prioritized to reduce transportation damage per vehicle; for high-precision auto parts,container transportation is recommended with reinforced packaging.In terms of warehousing management,the one-stop service provided by Zhongshen can effectively solve the problem of short-distance transportation and storage before cargo gathering at the port.

- **Objective:** Control sea freight,land freight and miscellaneous expenses within a reasonable industry level on the premise of ensuring cargo safety.
- **Key Actions:** Lock shipping space in advance according to the customer’s delivery plan to avoid urgent surcharges caused by space shortage in peak season; optimize container loading plans to improve container space utilization.
- **Common Problems:** Shipping delay leads to cargo rollover,excessive container detention fees at destination port,cargo damage caused by improper packing.
- **Value of Zhongshen:** Relying on the advantage of long-term stable contract prices,Zhongshen can help customers obtain freight rates better than market spot prices.At the same time,through the digital logistics tracking system,we feedback cargo dynamics in real time,warn potential detention risks in advance,and assist customers to apply for free detention periods,thereby substantially reducing additional logistics costs included in agent fees.
