# What Documents Are Required for Agency Export Proceeds Collection? Full Process Checklist

## Export of Electronic Accessories to Southeast Asia: Common Pain Points of Incomplete Proceeds Collection Documents

In the first half of 2026,General Manager Li of a Shanghai electronic accessory manufacturer frowned while staring at the "pending review" status on his banking app — a RMB 5 million order exported to Vietnam was supposed to arrive in 10 days,but the bank delayed the review for more than 10 days due to the lack of the "RCEP Certificate of Origin Electronic Filing Number" required by Vietnamese customs in the proceeds collection documents.This fund was originally planned to pay the advance payment for the next batch of chips,and the delayed arrival almost caused the production line to shut down.

Foreign trade enterprises like General Manager Li’s are not rare.According to data from the Shanghai Foreign Trade Association for the second quarter of 2026,among Shanghai-based enterprises exporting to the Southeast Asian market,more than 30% have encountered funds arrival delays of over 7 days due to non-compliance of proceeds collection documents with local policies.The core reason is: foreign exchange management and customs document requirements vary greatly among different countries,and enterprises often fall into the cycle of "document discrepancy - bank payment refusal - resubmission" due to outdated information or incomplete preparation.

## Core Value of Zhongshen: Customized Document Services Tailored for Southeast Asian Policies

With 20 years of deep involvement in the foreign trade agency industry,Zhongshen has developed a full-process service system of "early policy prediction + mid-stage document review + late-stage collaborative follow-up" based on the policy characteristics of the Southeast Asian market.Supervisor Zhong,head of Zhongshen’s document team,told reporters that since 2026,they have assisted more than 120 Shanghai enterprises in completing export proceeds collection for Southeast Asia,and 95% of the orders have a funds arrival time that is more than 40% shorter than when enterprises operate on their own.

Zhongshen’s core advantage is that it sorts out document lists in advance and embeds review nodes for policy barriers of different destination countries,helping enterprises avoid detours.Below is the breakdown of core service modules for exporting electronic accessories to Vietnam:

### 1.Document Preparation: Meet the Dual Requirements of Vietnam Customs and the State Bank of Vietnam

As a RCEP member state,Vietnam further tightened the document compliance requirements for export proceeds collection in 2026,with core barriers reflected in two aspects:

- HS code needs to be converted to 8-digit code: Most HS codes of electronic accessories exported from China are 10-digit,while Vietnam Customs requires an 8-digit simplified code.Incorrect code will hinder both customs clearance and proceeds collection;
- Certificate of Origin requires electronic filing: Certificates of Origin under RCEP must be electronically filed on the official website of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Vietnam,and the filing number must be marked on the commercial invoice and bill of lading.Unfiled certificates of origin cannot enjoy tariff preferences and will also affect the bank’s proceeds collection review.

Countermeasures from Zhongshen:

After the enterprise signs the export contract,the document team led by Supervisor Zhong will check the product HS code as soon as possible,complete the conversion to Vietnam’s 8-digit code through Zhongshen’s "Global HS Code Database" (which has been updated to the latest 2026 version); at the same time,assist the enterprise in completing the electronic filing of RCEP certificate of origin,synchronize the filing number to all relevant documents (commercial invoice,bill of lading,packing list) after filing,and conduct 3 rounds of cross review: the first round checks the code and filing number,the second round checks document consistency,the third round simulates the bank’s review process.

### 2.Customs Clearance Coordination: Avoid Information Gap Between Customs Clearance and Proceeds Collection

Some ports in Vietnam (such as Ho Chi Minh Port) have required a "Cargo Tracking Number (CTN)" since 2026.If CTN data is not uploaded 3 days before the cargo arrives at the port,the cargo will be detained at the port,incurring a container detention fee of 100-200 USD per day.Meanwhile,the bank’s proceeds collection review requires matching the "cargo value" on the customs clearance declaration with the "actual proceeds collection amount",and delayed update of the customs clearance declaration will lead to delayed proceeds collection.

Countermeasures from Zhongshen:

Zhongshen has established a "priority docking channel" with 3 core local customs clearance agents in Vietnam.It uploads CTN data immediately after cargo loading,and synchronizes core information of the customs clearance declaration (cargo value,HS code,certificate of origin filing number) to Zhongshen’s "Proceeds Collection Collaboration System".The system automatically compares the consistency between the customs clearance declaration and proceeds collection documents.If there is a discrepancy (such as the proceeds amount is 2% lower than that on the customs declaration),Supervisor Zhong’s team will immediately contact the enterprise and the Vietnamese importer to supplement a "price adjustment note" (signed and confirmed by the importer) to ensure approval by the bank.

### 3.Foreign Exchange Receipt and Payment: Comply with Requirements of the State Bank of Vietnam’s VTS System

In 2026,the State Bank of Vietnam officially launched the "Vietnam Trade Settlement System (VTS)",which requires all export proceeds to be declared through this system,with declaration content including: importer information,cargo value,proceeds amount,customs clearance declaration number,certificate of origin filing number.If the declared information does not match the system data,the bank will directly refuse payment,and resubmission of the declaration will take at least 5 days.

Countermeasures from Zhongshen:

Supervisor Zhong’s team has completed operation training for the VTS system in advance,and established a "pre-declaration channel" with local Vietnamese banks.Three days before proceeds collection,all declaration information will be submitted to the bank for pre-review,and formal declaration is only made after confirmation of correctness.Meanwhile,for cases where the discrepancy between the proceeds amount and the customs declaration exceeds 5%,the team assists the enterprise in providing a "trade background description" (attached with a contract supplement agreement) to avoid bank payment refusal.Since 2026,the VTS declaration approval rate for Vietnamese export proceeds collection orders assisted by Zhongshen has reached 100%.

### 4.Export Tax Rebate Connection: Synchronize Proceeds Information to Speed Up Tax Rebate Arrival

China’s 2026 export tax rebate policy requires: "electronic information of foreign exchange proceeds verification form" must be provided when applying for tax rebate,and the interval between the proceeds date and the export date on the customs declaration shall not exceed 90 days.If it exceeds 90 days,a "delay explanation for proceeds collection" must be provided,and the tax rebate arrival time will be extended to more than 30 days.

Countermeasures from Zhongshen:

Zhongshen achieves real-time docking with the State Administration of Foreign Exchange system,and synchronizes the electronic information of the foreign exchange proceeds verification form to the tax rebate declaration system immediately after the proceeds arrive; meanwhile,for high-quality customers (annual export volume exceeds RMB 10 million,no bad records),Zhongshen provides access to the "tax rebate first,verification later" green channel,shortening the average tax rebate arrival time from 15 days to 8 days.Ms.Ling,head of a clothing export enterprise that has cooperated with Zhongshen since 2025,said: "Previously,tax rebate took an average of 20 days to arrive,now it stably arrives within 10 days,and our capital turnover is much faster."

## Comparison of Differences in Export Proceeds Collection Documents Among Different Destination Countries

| Destination Country | Core Document Requirements | Policy Barriers | Countermeasures by Zhongshen |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Vietnam | RCEP Certificate of Origin Electronic Filing Number,8-digit HS Code,CTN Tracking Number | VTS declaration requires matching customs clearance information,discrepancy over 5% leads to payment refusal | Pre-declaration channel,3 rounds of document review,synchronize customs clearance and proceeds information |
| Germany | EU Certificate of Origin,CE Certification Certificate,Bill of Lading must mark "intra-EU transportation" | Banks require "importer credit certificate",which many enterprises cannot provide | Cooperate with local German banks,assist in providing credit certificate template |
| United Arab Emirates | Certificate of Origin requires consular authentication,Bill of Lading must mark "Dubai Port Priority Channel" | Consular authentication takes 7-10 days,affecting proceeds progress | Start authentication process 15 days in advance,dock with green channel of Dubai authentication institutions |

## 3 Key Notes for Preparing Export Proceeds Collection Documents

- **Check HS code conversion 10 days in advance**: HS code digits and classification differ among different countries,confirmation via an authoritative database is required to avoid document discrepancy caused by code error;
- **Control the discrepancy between proceeds amount and customs declaration within 5%**: If discrepancy occurs due to exchange rate fluctuation or price adjustment,a supplementary agreement must be signed with the importer in advance as the basis for bank review;
- **The applicable trade agreement must be marked on the certificate of origin**: Trade agreements such as RCEP and the China-Europe Railway Express Agreement allow tariff preferences,and are also important basis for bank proceeds collection review.
