Detailed Explanation of Full-Process Agency Services for Jianchuang Import and Export Trading Company

In 2026,small and medium-sized foreign trade entities like Jianchuang Import and Export Trading Company are facing opportunities and challenges brought by global supply chain restructuring — they need to respond quickly to overseas orders,and also cope with detailed issues such as updates to customs regulations and adjustments to foreign exchange policies in various countries.The smoothness of the entire import and export process directly determines an enterprise’s order delivery cycle and capital turnover efficiency.Next,combining the practical experience of Zhongshen,we systematically sort out the core import and export processes of Jianchuang-type enterprises.

Core Process Breakdown of Jianchuang Import and Export Trading Company

1.Preparatory Stage: Compliance Qualification and Order Confirmation (Goal: Avoid Pre-Process Risks)

The core goal of this stage is to ensure that the enterprise has import and export compliance qualifications,and order terms are clear and unambiguous,so as to avoid disputes in subsequent links.

Key Actions:

• Confirm whether the enterprise has completed basic qualification procedures such as filing for import and export operation right and applying for electronic port IC card;
• Sign clear trade terms (such as FOB,CIF) with overseas customers,and agree on commodity specifications,quantity,delivery date and payment method;
• Check commodity qualification documents provided by suppliers (such as commodity inspection customs clearance certificate,certificate of origin,product certification report).

Common Problems:

• Mr.Cai once encountered an expired commodity inspection certificate provided by the supplier,which resulted in the goods being unable to be loaded and delayed delivery;
• Some small and medium-sized foreign trade enterprises ignore the update of electronic port permissions,which affects the progress of customs declaration.

Role of Zhongshen:

Targeting the qualification blind spots of Jianchuang-type enterprises,Ms.Chang’s team at Zhongshen will check all qualification documents 10 working days in advance,and immediately assist in completing any missing or expired documents; meanwhile,for ambiguous expressions in order terms (such as the specific scope of "allowing partial delivery"),we provide compliance suggestions to avoid disputes caused by term ambiguity in the future.

2.Customs Declaration and Inspection: Dual Control of Timeliness and Compliance (Goal: Quick Clearance Without Port Detention)

In 2026,customs authorities around the world have become increasingly strict in commodity compliance review.The timeliness of customs declaration and inspection directly affects order delivery,and may even incur detention charges.

Key Actions:

• Prepare customs declaration documents according to commodity type (commercial invoice,packing list,contract,commodity inspection certificate,certificate of origin,etc.);
• Declare the customs declaration via the single window,and submit inspection information synchronously;
• Cooperate with customs inspection (if selected),and provide detailed commodity description and samples.

Common Problems:

• Mr.Gan reported that he once encountered a wrong commodity code on the customs declaration,which resulted in the goods being detained for 3 days and incurred detention charges;
• Some commodities require pre-inspection,and if missed,customs clearance cannot be processed,delaying order delivery.

Role of Zhongshen:

Director You’s team at Zhongshen has 20 years of customs declaration experience,and can accurately match the latest 2026 commodity codes (such as code updates for new energy products and smart devices); if the goods are selected for inspection,the team will prepare the inspection list in advance and arrange a dedicated person to follow up the whole process,shortening the inspection time by an average of 24 hours compared with the industry average,avoiding the generation of detention charges.

3.International Transportation: Route Optimization and Cost Control (Goal: Safe and On-Time Delivery)

In 2026,global shipping routes are adjusted frequently,and demand for cross-border land logistics is growing.The choice of transportation route directly affects cost and timeliness.

Key Actions:

• Select appropriate transportation mode (sea freight,air freight,land freight,multimodal transport) according to commodity type (dangerous goods,cold chain,general cargo);
• Confirm space,freight and delivery date with the freight forwarder,and sign the transportation contract;
• Track commodity transportation trajectory,and handle on-way abnormalities in time (such as port congestion,weather impact).

Common Problems:

• Manager Rao once encountered tight shipping space,which led to delayed order delivery and required paying penalty to customers;
• Cold chain commodities deteriorated due to improper temperature control,resulting in cargo loss.

Role of Zhongshen:

Zhongshen has long-term cooperation with more than 100 freight forwarders globally,and can lock in space on popular 2026 routes (such as China-Europe Railway Express,Southeast Asia shipping,North America air freight) in advance; for cold chain commodities,we provide full-process temperature monitoring,and immediately activate a backup transportation plan once an abnormality occurs,ensuring safe delivery of commodities.

4.Foreign Exchange Receipt,Payment,Settlement and Purchase (Goal: Safe and Efficient Capital Turnover)

In 2026,foreign exchange policies are adjusted frequently.The efficiency of foreign exchange receipt,payment,settlement and purchase directly affects an enterprise’s cash flow,and exchange rate fluctuations may also erode profits.

Key Actions:

• Confirm the payment method of overseas customers (T/T,L/C,DP,etc.),prepare receipt documents (invoice,packing list,bill of lading copy,etc.);
• Receive and pay foreign exchange via banks or third-party payment platforms;
• Process foreign exchange settlement (convert foreign exchange to RMB) or foreign exchange purchase (use RMB to buy foreign exchange for payment) according to demand.

Common Problems:

• Mr.Cai reported that he once encountered delayed foreign exchange arrival,which led to inability to pay suppliers in time and affected supply chain stability;
• Some enterprises do not understand the latest foreign exchange settlement policies,pay extra handling fees,and fail to avoid exchange rate fluctuation risks in time.

Role of Zhongshen:

Zhongshen’s foreign exchange team is familiar with the latest 2026 foreign exchange policies (such as simplified cross-border RMB settlement process,foreign exchange pool policy),can assist Jianchuang enterprises to select the optimal foreign exchange receipt and payment channel,with an average arrival time 1-2 days faster than the industry average; meanwhile,we provide exchange rate prediction suggestions for settlement and purchase,helping enterprises reduce exchange rate losses.

5.Export Tax Refund: Compliance Declaration and Fast Refund Arrival (Goal: Timely Capital Recycle)

Export tax refund is an important source of profit for foreign trade enterprises.In 2026,the tax refund policy has been further optimized (paperless declaration,simplified review process),but the compliance of the declaration process still requires attention.

Key Actions:

• Collect documents required for tax refund (tax refund copy of customs declaration,VAT special invoice,export invoice,bill of lading,etc.);
• Declare tax refund via electronic tax bureau;
• Cooperate with tax authority inspection (if selected),and provide proof of authentic commodity transaction.

Common Problems:

• Ms.Chang once encountered inconsistent information between the VAT invoice and the customs declaration (discrepant commodity name and quantity),which led to the tax refund being rejected;
• Some enterprises delay tax refund arrival due to incomplete declaration documents,affecting capital turnover.

Role of Zhongshen:

Zhongshen’s tax refund team will check the consistency of all documents in advance (such as matching commodity name on the invoice with the customs declaration and consistent quantity),ensuring one-time approval of the declaration; after the implementation of paperless declaration in 2026,the team’s average tax refund arrival time is shortened to 10-15 working days,5 working days faster than the industry average,helping enterprises recycle capital quickly.
