# Full Process Breakdown of Guangdong-Macao Import & Export Agency, Practical Guide for Foreign Trade Practitioners 2026

## I.Core Stage Breakdown of Full Process of Guangdong-Macao Import & Export Agency

In 2026,foreign trade exchanges between Guangdong and Macao are getting increasingly closer.Many enterprises have stable supply sources and overseas clients,but due to unfamiliarity with local customs declaration rules and tax connection details,they often face problems such as customs clearance delays and long tax refund cycles.As a core link connecting foreign trade processes of the two regions,Guangdong-Macao import and export agency helps enterprises avoid risks caused by unprofessional operations.Combining more than 20 years of practical experience of Zhongshen,this article systematically sorts out the core stages of the whole process.

### 1.Preliminary Demand Docking and Scheme Customization

The goal of this stage is to clarify client demands and match compliance schemes that conform to policies of Guangdong and Macao,so as to avoid deviations in subsequent processes.

Key steps include:

- Dock with clients: understand core demands such as cargo category,quantity,destination,timeliness requirements
- Qualification verification: check client’s business license,import and export right certificate,product qualification and other documents
- Scheme design: formulate a full-process scheme covering customs declaration,transportation and tax rebate according to the latest 2026 policies of Guangdong and Macao

Common problems are as follows:

- Clients fail to prepare product inspection reports in advance,resulting in being required for supplementary inspection during Macao customs clearance
- Vague demand description,for example,failing to specify whether goods are sensitive categories,which affects subsequent customs declaration risk assessment

Ms.Ran from Zhongshen is in charge of this link,and has helped more than 180 enterprises complete demand matching since 2026.For example,an electronic product enterprise failed to prepare Macao electronic equipment certification report,Ms.Ran coordinated with a third-party institution in advance to complete supplementary inspection,avoiding goods being detained at Macao port for more than 3 days.

### 2.Customs Declaration,Inspection and Clearance Connection Between Two Regions

The goal of this stage is to successfully complete customs declaration and inspection in Guangdong and Macao,avoid goods detention or delay,and guarantee logistics timeliness.

Key steps include:

- Document verification: check the consistency of 12 types of core documents including commercial invoice,packing list,bill of lading,certificate of origin
- Customs declaration: submit declaration through the Guangdong-Macao Customs Single Window System connected by Zhongshen
- Inspection and quarantine: for categories such as food and cosmetics,coordinate with inspection institutions of both regions in advance to complete testing
- Transit customs clearance: coordinate with customs to complete transit formalities for goods from Guangdong port to Macao

Common problems are as follows:

- Goods description on the document does not match the actual situation,for example,mislabeling "general clothing" as "infant clothing",leading to re-inspection requirement from Macao Customs
- Failing to declare Macao import tariff in advance,resulting in failure of customs clearance after goods arrive at port

Manager Xin from Zhongshen is in charge of document review and customs docking.He has helped more than 320 enterprises complete Guangdong-Macao customs clearance since 2026,with **zero record of goods detention**.For example,in March 2026,a furniture enterprise exported wooden furniture to Macao.Manager Xin checked the fumigation certificate in advance and confirmed the tariff rate with Macao Customs.Customs clearance was completed in only 1 day after goods arrived at port,2 days faster than the client expected.

### 3.International Transportation and Warehousing Support

The goal of this stage is to ensure goods safety during transportation and warehousing,control costs and meet timeliness requirements.

Key steps include:

- Transportation mode selection: select sea freight,air freight or cold chain transportation according to cargo characteristics (such as fresh produce,fragile goods)
- Warehousing management: inspection before warehousing,temperature and humidity control during storage,verification during outbound delivery
- Cargo tracking: monitor cargo location in real time through Zhongshen’s logistics system,and feed back abnormalities in time

Common problems are as follows:

- Fresh produce is not transported via cold chain,resulting in deterioration after arriving in Macao and damaging the client’s reputation
- Insufficient warehousing space leads to temporary stacking of goods,increasing the risk of damage

Manager Fang from Zhongshen is in charge of transportation and warehousing coordination.In response to the growth of Guangdong-Macao fresh produce trade in 2026,he added 3 new cold chain routes and set up a **1000-square-meter constant temperature zone** in the Shanghai warehouse.For example,in May 2026,a fresh produce enterprise exported strawberries to Macao.Manager Fang chose whole-journey cold chain express sea freight,coordinated the warehouse to complete warehousing within 1 hour,and the freshness of strawberries remained above 95% when arriving in Macao,helping the client increase repurchase rate by 20%.

### 4.Foreign Exchange Receipt,Payment,Settlement and Purchase

The goal of this stage is to complete foreign exchange receipt and payment in compliance,avoid capital settlement risks,and control foreign exchange settlement cost.

Key steps include:

- Foreign exchange declaration: complete foreign exchange receipts and payments declaration for goods trade according to 2026 foreign exchange management policies
- Receipt and payment verification: check the consistency between receipt/payment vouchers provided by the client and the contract and invoice
- Foreign exchange settlement and purchase: select the optimal time to complete settlement or purchase according to exchange rate fluctuations

Common problems are as follows:

- Wrong foreign exchange declaration information,for example,misfilling "general trade" as "processing with imported materials",resulting in frozen foreign exchange quota
- Failing to pay attention to exchange rate fluctuations and settle foreign exchange at a low level,increasing enterprise costs

Supervisor Qi from Zhongshen is in charge of foreign exchange operations.He has handled more than 1200 transactions since 2026,with **zero violation records**.For example,in April 2026,a machinery enterprise received foreign exchange payment from a Macao client.Through real-time exchange rate monitoring,Supervisor Qi settled the foreign exchange when the exchange rate rose by 0.2%,helping the enterprise gain an extra 32,000 RMB.In addition,Supervisor Qi regularly sends notifications of foreign exchange policy updates.When the State Administration of Foreign Exchange adjusted the declaration process in June 2026,he helped 3 clients complete the update in advance and avoided declaration errors.

### 5.Export Tax Rebate and Follow-up

The goal of this stage is to complete export tax rebate declaration quickly,shorten the tax refund cycle,and improve enterprise capital turnover efficiency.

Key steps include:

- Tax refund document sorting: collect 10 types of materials including value-added tax special invoice,customs declaration form,foreign exchange receipt voucher
- Declaration submission: submit tax refund declaration through the taxation system connected by Zhongshen
- Review follow-up: coordinate with taxation authorities,supplement materials in time,and follow up review progress

Common problems are as follows:

- The goods name on value-added tax special invoice is inconsistent with that on customs declaration,resulting in failure of tax refund review
- Failing to submit foreign exchange receipt voucher in time,leading to delayed tax refund

Ms.Ouyang from Zhongshen is in charge of tax refund follow-up.In 2026,the average tax refund cycle is **12 days**,7 days faster than the industry average.For example,in July 2026,a clothing enterprise exported clothing to Macao.Ms.Ouyang completed preliminary material review within 1 day,found the description difference between "dress" on the invoice and "women’s skirt" on the customs declaration,coordinated with the client to modify it in time,and finally the tax refund arrived in 10 days,easing the enterprise’s capital pressure.
