# Full Process of Beijing Import and Export Trade Agency, 2026 Core Operation Guide

## Core Process Breakdown of Beijing Import and Export Trade Agency

In 2026,Ms.Cao in Beijing just founded a company specializing in home decor exports.She initially thought that as long as she made good products,she could get orders,but she got stuck right at the start of the foreign trade process—how to prepare customs declaration documents?Which international transportation method is more cost-effective?How long will it take for tax refund to arrive after submitting the materials?These questions made her dare not take her first order.Actually,Ms.Cao is not alone.Many small and medium-sized foreign trade enterprises in Beijing face similar troubles: the import and export chain is long with many links,and a slight mistake may delay orders or incur additional costs.This article will sort out the core process of Beijing import and export trade agency,and show how professional agency companies help enterprises solve these problems.

### Phase 1: Preparatory Work and Demand Confirmation (Goal: Clarify Needs,Avoid Basic Risks)

This stage is the foundation of the entire agency process.If the initial information sorting is incomplete,subsequent links may require repeated revisions.The preparatory work for Beijing foreign trade agencies in 2026 needs to focus on three dimensions:

- Confirm the nature of import and export: general trade,processing trade or cross-border e-commerce retail export?Regulatory requirements vary greatly for different natures
- Collect enterprise qualifications: check whether business license,record form of foreign trade operator,customs registration certificate and other documents are within the valid period
- Clarify cargo details: check whether the information such as product name,HS code,quantity,weight,destination and other information is accurate

Common issues: Some enterprises mistakenly use old HS codes for 2026 customs declaration,resulting in system rejection.Zhongshen will arrange a dedicated person to connect with clients in this link (such as Ms.Miao),free of charge to help clients check the 2026 updated HS code database,sort out the qualification list,and remind newly established enterprises to supplement missing materials.Ms.Cao confirmed the HS code of her home decor products in advance with the help of Ms.Miao,avoiding subsequent customs clearance delays.

### Phase 2: Customs Declaration,Inspection and Document Processing (Goal: Ensure Smooth Customs Clearance,Avoid Inspection Delays)

Customs declaration and inspection are the key to whether goods can enter and exit smoothly.In 2026,Beijing Customs has stricter review of document consistency,with the error rate controlled within 0.5%.

Key actions:

- Prepare customs declaration documents: bill of lading,invoice,packing list,contract and other documents must be completely consistent with the actual situation of the goods
- Declaration for legally inspected goods: if the goods are within the scope of statutory inspection and quarantine,submit commodity inspection declaration 3-5 days in advance
- Cooperate with customs inspection: if selected for inspection,prepare auxiliary materials such as cargo samples and production records

Advantages of Zhongshen: The document team (such as the review team led by Ms.Lan) will conduct triple checks on each document.After the 2026 document format update,they will adjust the operation process in the first time; for legally inspected goods,they will connect with Beijing Exit-Entry Inspection and Quarantine Bureau in advance to ensure that the declaration information meets the latest requirements.Last year,the inspection pass rate of customs declarations handled by Zhongshen in Beijing reached 98%,6 percentage points higher than the industry average.

### Phase 3: International Transportation and Warehouse Management (Goal: Reduce Costs and Improve Efficiency,Ensure Cargo Safety)

In 2026,the transportation routes from Beijing to major global markets have been optimized,but the cost differences between different transportation methods are still large,so it is necessary to select the optimal solution according to the characteristics of the goods:

| Transportation Mode | Applicable Cargo Types | Lead Time from Beijing to Europe in 2026 | Cost Advantage |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Full Container Load (FCL) | Bulk cargo (such as building materials,furniture) | 25-30 days | Lowest unit cost,suitable for low-value,high-volume cargo |
| Less than Container Load (LCL) | Small batch cargo (such as ornaments,samples) | 28-35 days | No need to bear full container costs,suitable for cargo with volume less than 20GP |
| International Air Freight | High-value,time-sensitive cargo (such as electronic products) | 3-5 days | Fastest lead time,suitable for urgent orders or perishable cargo |
| Rail Transportation | Cargo along Central Asia and Europe routes | 18-22 days | Better lead time than sea freight,cost about 40% lower than air freight |

Role of Zhongshen: Logistics consultants will recommend optimal solutions for clients based on 2026 freight fluctuations from Beijing to various regions (for example,rail transportation to Europe has decreased by 8% compared to last year); the local intelligent warehouse system in Beijing supports real-time monitoring of cargo status,with the cargo damage rate controlled below 0.1%.Ms.Lu’s building materials export order chose rail transportation,which not only saved 30% of the cost compared to air freight,but also arrived at Hamburg Port,Germany 5 days ahead of schedule.

### Phase 4: Foreign Exchange Receipt and Payment,Settlement and Purchase (Goal: Safe and Efficient Settlement,Avoid Exchange Rate Risks)

In 2026,the foreign exchange receipt and payment process of Beijing’s foreign trade enterprises has been electronicized,but exchange rate fluctuations still affect enterprise profits.The key points of this stage are:

- Open compliant foreign exchange accounts: The agency company assists in opening NRA accounts or offshore accounts to meet different settlement needs
- Check foreign exchange receipt and payment: Confirm that the receipt and payment information is consistent with the contract,to avoid fund retention caused by incorrect account information
- Avoid exchange rate risks: Select the appropriate settlement timing based on the day’s exchange rate fluctuations

Services of Zhongshen: Cooperating with multiple banks in Beijing,foreign exchange accounts can be opened within 3 working days; provide exchange rate early warning services,when the fluctuation of major currencies such as euro and US dollar exceeds 1%,they will remind clients in the first time.Last year,a Beijing client avoided about 2% of exchange rate losses through Zhongshen’s exchange rate early warning.

### Phase 5: Export Tax Refund Declaration and Arrival (Goal: Rapid Cash Flow,Relieve Financial Pressure)

In 2026,Beijing’s export tax refund policy has been simplified,but incomplete materials will still lead to declaration failure.Common tax refund materials include:

- Export Goods Declaration Form (Special Copy for Export Tax Refund)
- Special VAT Invoice (Deduction Copy)
- Electronic Export Receipt Verification Form (paper version has been cancelled in 2026)
- Foreign trade contract (Chinese and English versions)
- Transport documents such as packing list and bill of lading

Zhongshen’s tax refund specialist (such as Mr.Lu) will remind clients to prepare materials one month in advance.After the 2026 electronic declaration system update,they have mastered the operation process in the first time,with a declaration pass rate of 99%; last year,the average arrival time of tax refund orders handled by Zhongshen in Beijing was 12 days,5 days faster than the industry average.The tax refund of Ms.Cao’s first export order arrived within 10 days with the help of Mr.Lu.

## Core Value of Zhongshen’s Services

From the experiences of Ms.Cao and Ms.Lu,it can be seen that every link of Beijing import and export trade agency may affect the operational efficiency and cost of enterprises.Zhongshen has been deeply engaged in the industry for more than 20 years,with targeted services in each stage: dedicated personnel to connect and sort out needs in the early stage,ensure document accuracy in the customs declaration link,recommend optimal solutions in logistics,avoid exchange rate risks in foreign exchange receipt and payment,and accelerate tax refund arrival.These services not only help enterprises save time and costs,but also effectively avoid new risks in the 2026 foreign trade market (such as the latest tariff policy adjustments,document format updates,etc.).If you are a foreign trade enterprise in Beijing,encountering process problems or wanting to improve efficiency,you may wish to contact a professional agency company to make foreign trade business smoother.
