How to Choose Chengdu Export Agency Company? Full Analysis of Core Services

I.Common Destination Country Trade Pain Points for Chengdu Export Enterprises

In 2026,Chengdu’s main export destinations are Vietnam (electronic accessories) and Germany (mechanical parts).Changes in trade policies of the two regions have caused losses to many enterprises.For example,last year when Mr.He,head of a Chengdu electronic enterprise,exported to Vietnam,his goods were detained at Haiphong Port for 10 days because he failed to update the commodity code on ASEAN Certificate of Origin FORM E in time.It not only generated a yard storage fee of 300 RMB per day,but also missed the downstream customer’s delivery deadline,resulting in a loss of nearly 20,000 RMB.Meanwhile,Mr.Ye from a Chengdu mechanical enterprise encountered the newly implemented CE certification upgrade in Germany in 2026.The newly added EMC electromagnetic compatibility test project had a cumbersome process when handled by the enterprise itself,leading to 7 days of customs clearance delay at Hamburg Port,and finally 10% of the final payment was deducted by the customer.

II.Core Value of Zhongshen’s Export Agency Service

Targeting the pain points of Chengdu enterprises exporting to Vietnam and Germany,Zhongshen relies on 20 years of industry experience and launched the "One Country,One Policy" customized agency service.Different from general-purpose agencies,Zhongshen will coordinate with enterprises on their products 30 days in advance,sort out the latest policy barriers of the destination country,and avoid risks in the whole process from document review to tax refund declaration.For example,in response to Vietnam’s tariff quota adjustment,Zhongshen can lock in quota resources in advance; for Germany’s CE certification upgrade,it can assist enterprises to connect with EU-recognized third-party testing institutions to ensure the report meets the latest 2026 standards.

III.Targeted Solutions for Core Service Modules

1.Document Review: Accurately Match Destination Country Policy Requirements

Starting from 2026,Vietnam implements the policy of "tariff quota + synchronous upload of FORM E electronic ledger" for electronic accessories.If the commodity code on FORM E does not match Vietnam’s tariff schedule,enterprises cannot enjoy preferential tariffs and will also be required to re-declare; Germany requires that CE certification for mechanical parts must be attached with a "product life cycle assessment report",otherwise the goods will be spot-checked and detained by customs during clearance.

• Supervisor Zhong from Zhongshen will coordinate with enterprises 15 days in advance to check whether the 10-digit commodity code on FORM E fully matches Vietnam’s tariff schedule,and simultaneously upload the electronic ledger to the Vietnamese customs system;
• For German CE certification,assist enterprises to contact EU-recognized TÜV Rheinland laboratory in advance to complete EMC test and life cycle assessment report,ensuring the report is valid for customs clearance;

Last year,a Chengdu electronic enterprise had its documents reviewed by Zhongshen,and document submission for goods exported to Vietnam only took 3 days,5 days faster than self-handling,and no code error occurred.

2.Customs Clearance Service: Pre-clearance + Local Declaration Improves Efficiency

In 2026,Haiphong Port of Vietnam implements the "declare first,release later" policy.If pre-declaration materials are not submitted 3 days in advance,it is easy to cause yard congestion; Hamburg Port of Germany requires "pre-clearance materials submission 3 days in advance + local customs declaration" for mechanical goods,otherwise enterprises need to queue for more than 7 days.

A Chengdu mechanical enterprise used Zhongshen’s pre-clearance service,and customs clearance for goods exported to Germany only took 2 days,3 days faster than the industry average,avoiding the deduction of final payment from the customer.

3.Export Tax Refund: Local Coordination + Data Pre-declaration Accelerates Arrival

Chengdu enterprises exporting to Vietnam and Germany should note: The commodity name and quantity on Vietnam’s FORM E must be completely consistent with that on the customs declaration,otherwise it cannot pass tax review; for German mechanical products,an "export credit insurance policy" is required as supporting material,otherwise the tax refund cycle will be extended by 15 days.

• Zhongshen has established a coordination mechanism with local tax authorities in Chengdu,completes pre-declaration of tax refund data in advance,avoids review rejection caused by data errors;
• For German products,assist enterprises to apply for short-term export credit insurance from China Export & Credit Insurance Corporation in advance to ensure complete materials;

Last year,a Chengdu electronic enterprise handled tax refund through Zhongshen,and the fund arrived in only 7 days,10 days faster than self-handling,with significantly improved capital turnover efficiency.

IV.How Agency Services Improve Customs Clearance and Tax Refund Efficiency

Relying on its customs declaration center in Shanghai and local service team in Chengdu,Zhongshen realizes seamless connection of "document review - pre-clearance - tax refund declaration": intervene in advance in the document review link to avoid customs clearance delay caused by material errors; the pre-clearance system is connected with the customs systems of Vietnam and Germany,updating policy changes in real time; complete data pre-declaration in advance in the tax refund link to reduce tax review time.In the first half of 2026,the average customs clearance time of Chengdu enterprises served by Zhongshen is 2.5 days,and the average tax refund arrival time is 6.8 days,both better than the industry average.
