# Chongqing Sea Route Export Agency Procedures and Common Questions Answers

## Market Background and Common Challenges of Chongqing Sea Route Export

In 2026,relying on the New International Land-Sea Trade Corridor,Chongqing’s sea route export business volume increased by 22% year-on-year.Among them,mechanical and electrical products (45%) and household goods (28%) are the core export categories,mainly shipped to Vietnam and Malaysia (Southeast Asia market,52%) and Germany and the Netherlands (European market,31%).Many Chongqing foreign trade enterprises reported to Manager Si that despite order growth,they often encounter bottlenecks in document compliance,customs inspection,and tax refund procedures.

### Three Common Pain Points for Enterprises

- Documents do not match destination country policies: Vietnam requires wooden packaging to be marked with IPPC logo and attached with fumigation certificate,many enterprises have their goods returned due to incorrect heat treatment temperature marking on the certificate; Germany updated CE certification standards for mechanical and electrical products in 2026,requiring additional EMC test reports,old certifications can not pass inspection.
- Uncertainty in customs clearance: The inspection rate of Hai Phong Port in Vietnam increased to 25% in 2026,if the declared value of the enterprise deviates more than 5% from the Vietnam customs database,the goods will be detained for 3-7 days; Inspection at Hamburg Port in Germany requires 24-hour advance booking via EORI number,missing the booking window requires another 48-hour wait.
- Time difference in tax refund process: For Chongqing enterprises exporting to Southeast Asia,due to inconsistent description of commodity names between invoice and customs declaration for items such as "parts" and "components",tax refund audit time extended from an average of 10 days to 15 days,affecting capital turnover.

## Core Value of Zhongshen’s Chongqing Sea Route Export Agency Service

Zhongshen has been deeply engaged in the foreign trade agency industry for more than 20 years.According to the product characteristics and target country policies of Chongqing enterprises,its core value lies in "advance prediction of policy changes + customized module response".General Manager Deng said that we updated the database of Vietnam’s wooden packaging fumigation requirements as early as 2025,and 3 months before Germany’s CE certification update in 2026,we have organized certification docking training for enterprises —— avoiding enterprises falling into traps due to lagging policy awareness.

## Service Module Breakdown: Customized Response for Target Countries

### Document Preparation: Matching Policy Requirements of Vietnam and Germany

Different target countries have obvious differences in detailed requirements for documents.Zhongshen’s document team will review and supplement missing materials in advance according to product type and destination country:

- **Vietnam Market (Household Goods,Mechanical and Electrical Products)**:
Policy Requirements: Wooden packaging must provide IPPC fumigation certificate,which must mark heat treatment temperature (≥56) and time (≥30 minutes),and the logo must correspond to the goods packaging one by one; Mechanical and electrical products need to provide pre-audit documents of Vietnam Quality Certification (CQCB).
- Zhongshen’s Solution: The document team checks the temperature,time and logo on the fumigation certificate 3 days in advance,if any error is found,it will immediately dock with the local fumigation institution in Chongqing to reissue the certificate; CQCB pre-audit documents are submitted in advance by local cooperative agents in Vietnam,avoiding supplementary documents after arrival.

- **Germany Market (Mechanical and Electrical Products,Outdoor Equipment)**:
Policy Requirements: CE certification must include the 2026 updated LVD (Low Voltage Directive) and EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) test reports,and the reports must be issued by EU Notified Body (NB); The customs declaration must fill in the EORI number (EU importer identification number).
- Zhongshen’s Solution: Update the list of EU NB institutions in real time,assist enterprises to dock with qualified testing institutions; If the enterprise does not have a German importer,we can provide EORI number挂靠?不对，是EORI number anchoring service，哦对，EORI number hosting service，对，就是挂靠，用hosting合适。If the enterprise has no German importer,we can provide EORI number hosting service to avoid customs clearance delay caused by lack of identification number.

### Customs Clearance Execution: Solving High Inspection Rate and Booking Problems

Customs clearance is a key link of sea route export.Zhongshen has long-term cooperative customs clearance agents in Hai Phong Port (Vietnam) and Hamburg Port (Germany),which can solve inspection and booking problems targetedly:

| Target Country | Core Customs Clearance Problem | Zhongshen’s Solution | Expected Effect |

### Export Tax Rebate: Accelerate Capital Recovery for Chongqing Enterprises

Chongqing enterprises’ export tax rebate needs to meet requirements such as "consistent information between invoice and customs declaration" and "complete documents".Zhongshen’s tax rebate specialists will track the whole process:

- **Document Check:** Within 1 day after the customs declaration is issued,the tax rebate specialist checks whether the commodity name,quantity and amount on the invoice are consistent with the customs declaration.If there is description deviation such as "parts" and "components",he will immediately assist the enterprise to modify the invoice,avoiding audit rejection caused by inconsistent information.
- **Tax Authority Docking:** Maintain real-time communication with Chongqing tax authorities,submit tax rebate application materials in advance.Since 2026,the tax rebate time for enterprises served by Zhongshen has been shortened from an average of 12 days to 6 days (for Vietnam market) and from 15 days to 8 days (for Germany market).
- **Special Case Handling:** If the enterprise needs to reissue due to invoice loss,the tax rebate specialist assists in docking with local Chongqing tax authorities and completes the reissue process within 3 days,without affecting the tax rebate progress.

## Practical Experience in Efficiency Improvement

Among the Chongqing sea route export enterprises served by Zhongshen in 2026,8 mechanical and electrical enterprises and 5 household goods enterprises improved their customs clearance efficiency through agency services:

- A Chongqing outdoor furniture enterprise exporting to Vietnam: Its fumigation certificate was originally returned due to logo error when handled by itself.After using Zhongshen’s agency service,document review time was shortened from 5 days to 2 days,customs clearance time from 7 days to 3 days,and order delivery cycle shortened by 40%.
- A Chongqing auto parts enterprise exporting to Germany: It could not pass inspection due to outdated CE certification.Zhongshen assisted in docking with EU NB institution to supplement EMC report,completed certification update within 3 days,shortened customs clearance time from 8 days to 4 days,and avoided order penalty.

Manager Si said that the core of efficiency improvement lies in "advance prediction + local docking": document team reviews policy requirements in advance,customs clearance agent books inspection in advance,tax rebate specialist checks information in advance —— each link saves 2-3 days,the overall cycle can be shortened by more than half.
