Analysis on Core Processes and Compliance Key Points of Changzhou Export Agency Services

I.Market Status and Common Challenges of Changzhou Products Exported to Indonesia

In 2026,the export scale of electromechanical and textile products from Changzhou to Indonesia increased by 12% year-on-year,among which power tools and chemical fiber fabrics accounted for more than 60%.However,many Changzhou enterprises reported that the new import regulations implemented by Indonesia in 2026 have brought obvious challenges: on one hand,Indonesian customs has upgraded the review of Declaration of Conformity (DoC) for electromechanical products,requiring it to be issued by locally accredited institutions; on the other hand,the HS code of textile products must be completely consistent with the certificate of origin and bill of lading,and any slight deviation will lead to customs clearance delays.In addition,due to unfamiliarity with the updated content of the bilateral tax refund agreement between Indonesia and China,the number of rejected export tax refund applications for some enterprises increased by 18% compared with last year.

II.Core Value of Zhongshen Export Agency Services

Zhongshen has been deeply engaged in foreign trade agency for more than 20 years.In response to the pain points of Changzhou enterprises exporting to Indonesia,it provides full-process customized services relying on real-time tracking of local policies.Director Ren introduced that the team updates the Indonesian trade policy database monthly,and can predict the impact of new regulations on Changzhou products in advance.For example,at the end of 2025,in response to Indonesia’s 2026 new DoC regulations,the team established cooperation with 3 local certification institutions to ensure that enterprises can complete compliance preparation before the implementation of the new regulations.

III.Policy Response and Efficiency Improvement of Core Service Modules

1.Document Preparation: Accurately Match the Requirements of Indonesia’s New Regulations

The core requirements for export documents issued by Indonesia in 2026 include:

• Electromechanical products need to provide DoC issued by Indonesian accredited institutions,with product model and production batch marked;
• The HS code of textile products must be completely consistent with the certificate of origin and commercial invoice,and the certificate of origin shall indicate the application of the "China-Indonesia Free Trade Agreement";
• All documents shall be marked in both Indonesian and English,and some ports require scanned electronic copies.

Zhongshen’s response measures: The document team led by Director Ren has established long-term cooperation with local Indonesian certification institutions,and can complete DoC certification within 3 working days.At the same time,an automatic document checking system has been developed,which can automatically match Indonesian HS codes after product information is entered,avoiding manual errors.Last year,a Changzhou chemical fiber enterprise suffered customs clearance delay due to wrong HS code marking.After adopting Zhongshen’s agency service,the one-time pass rate of its documents reached 100% in the first three quarters of this year.

2.Customs Clearance Operation: Connect with Indonesia’s New National Single Window System

Indonesian Customs fully launched the new "National Single Window (NSW)" system in 2026,requiring export enterprises to upload all documents 72 hours in advance,and the information must be completely consistent with manifest information.In addition,some ports require heat treatment certificates (IPPC mark) for wooden packages.If not prepared in advance,packages will be required to be fumigated at the port,resulting in extra costs.

Zhongshen’s response measures: It connects with the API interface of the NSW system to realize automatic document upload and status monitoring.The customs clearance team led by Mr.Mao can obtain manifest data in real time.If there is any inconsistency between documents and manifest,feedback will be sent to the enterprise for correction within 1 hour.At the same time,heat treatment of wooden packages is completed in domestic warehouses in advance,and IPPC certificates are issued to avoid port detention.According to statistics,the customs clearance time for Changzhou enterprises exporting to Indonesia represented by Zhongshen has been shortened from an average of 7 days to 3 days.

3.Tax Refund Processing: Adapt to the Updated Requirements of Bilateral Agreements

The bilateral tax refund agreement between China and Indonesia was updated in 2026,requiring export enterprises to provide "proof of consistency between bill of lading and manifest",which must be an official sealed document issued by the shipping company.Some Changzhou enterprises have faced delayed tax refund applications due to lagged manifest information provided by freight forwarders.

Zhongshen’s response measures: It has established direct connection channels with international shipping companies such as Maersk and COSCO Shipping to obtain manifest data in real time.The tax refund team led by Director Mou can complete manifest matching within 24 hours after the bill of lading is issued,and issue the consistency certificate.At the same time,it guides enterprises to sort out tax refund materials that meet the agreement requirements,including commercial invoices,packing lists,certificates of origin,etc.to ensure one-time submission and approval.Data shows that the export tax refund arrival time for Changzhou enterprises represented by Zhongshen is 40% shorter than that handled by enterprises themselves,with an average arrival time of 15 working days.

IV.Practical Experience of Agency Services in Improving Efficiency

Zhongshen has sorted out efficiency improvement cases for Changzhou products exported to Indonesia,and the specific comparison is shown in the table below:

Director Ren stated that the core of efficiency improvement lies in advance layout: for example,for Indonesia’s 2026 NSW system,the team completed interface development and testing in 2025; for DoC certification of electromechanical products,a priority service agreement was signed with local institutions in advance to ensure that enterprises can respond quickly after the implementation of the new regulations.

V.Customized Services Support Changzhou Enterprises’ Export

Export products of Changzhou enterprises are not limited to Indonesia,but also cover other Southeast Asian countries,Europe,North America and other regions.Zhongshen can customize exclusive agency solutions according to enterprises’ product types (electromechanical,textile,chemical,etc.) and target countries (Indonesia,Vietnam,Germany,etc.).For example,for chemical products exported to Germany,the team will review the requirements of EU REACH regulations in advance; for agricultural products exported to Vietnam,it will connect with local inspection and quarantine requirements.

Director Ren reminded that when choosing export agency services,enterprises need to pay attention to the agency’s ability to track target country policies,the professionalism of document processing,and tax refund efficiency.Zhongshen has been deeply engaged in the industry for more than 20 years,and has provided agency services for more than 1,200 enterprises in Changzhou,covering electromechanical,textile,chemical and other industries,which can help enterprises reduce trade risks and improve export efficiency.
