Status of Nanchang Import and Export Agency Industry and Core Process Sorting

Full Analysis of Core Processes of Nanchang Import and Export Agency Industry

In 2026,the total foreign trade import and export volume of Nanchang exceeded 180 billion yuan,among which small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises and cross-border e-commerce sellers accounted for more than 60%.Most of these enterprises lack professional foreign trade teams,so import and export agencies have become a key link connecting domestic and foreign markets.Every link from customs declaration of goods to tax refund crediting directly affects transaction efficiency and cost.Combined with the practical experience of Zhongshen,this paper systematically sorts out the core processes and key points of risk avoidance for Nanchang import and export agencies.

I.Pre-demand Docking and Scheme Customization (Goal: Accurately Match Customer Needs)

Goal: Clarify the type of customer’s goods,trade mode (general trade/cross-border e-commerce),destination,qualification requirements,etc.to avoid deviations in subsequent processes.

Key Actions:

• 1.The customer submits the goods list (HS code,specification,quantity,weight,etc.);
• 2.Manager Yu’s team of Zhongshen reviews customer qualifications (business license,import and export right,etc.and can assist in handling if there is no relevant qualification);
• 3.Customized scheme (including cost details and time nodes of customs declaration and inspection,transportation,warehousing,tax refund and other links).

Common Problems: Customers misreport HS codes leading to customs clearance delays,or have deviations in understanding of trade terms (FOB/CIF) which increases costs.

Role of Zhongshen: Arrange special personnel to check HS codes (Nanchang Customs updated codes for some mechanical and electrical products in 2026),provide free interpretation of trade terms,and ensure that the scheme complies with local customs policies of Nanchang.

II.Customs Declaration and Inspection & Document Review (Goal: Compliance Customs Clearance without Delay)

Goal: Ensure that the goods meet the quarantine requirements of Nanchang Customs and the destination country,and pass the review with complete documents.

Key Actions:

• 1.Prepare customs declaration documents (packing list,invoice,contract,certificate of origin,etc.);
• 2.Inspection application (for goods requiring commodity inspection,make an appointment with Nanchang Inspection and Quarantine Bureau for on-site inspection in advance);
• 3.Customs declaration and inspection (if there is no abnormality,release within 1-2 working days).

Common Problems: Missing documents (such as certificate of origin not processed in time),goods packaging not meeting the standards of the destination country (such as the EU requiring fumigation for wooden packaging).

Role of Zhongshen: It has Class A customs declaration qualification of Nanchang Customs,and the document review pass rate exceeds 98%; inform the packaging requirements of the destination country in advance,assist in handling fumigation/heat treatment certificates,and avoid inspection and detention of goods.

III.International Transportation and Warehousing Management (Goal: Safe and Efficient Delivery of Goods)

Goal: Select the optimal transportation mode to ensure the safety of goods in local warehousing in Nanchang and international transportation.

Key Actions:

• 1.Local warehousing in Nanchang (provide ordinary warehouse/constant temperature warehouse/hazardous chemical warehouse according to the type of goods);
• 2.Selection of transportation mode (sea freight: transit from Nanchang to Shanghai Port/Ningbo Port; air freight: direct flight from Changbei Airport to Southeast Asia/Europe);
• 3.Goods tracking (update logistics trajectory in real time,and feedback abnormal situations within 2 hours).

Common Problems: Delays caused by tight sea freight space,damage to goods due to improper control of warehouse temperature and humidity (such as food and medicine).

Role of Zhongshen: Long-term cooperation with 3 core local warehouses in Nanchang,the temperature and humidity error of the constant temperature warehouse is ≤±1℃; signed annual agreements with a number of shipping companies and airlines,give priority to guaranteeing space,and can complete loading within 3 days even in peak season.

IV.Foreign Exchange Receipt and Payment & Export Tax Refund (Goal: Safe and Fast Crediting of Funds)

Goal: Collect and pay foreign exchange in compliance,handle export tax refund in time,and ease the capital pressure of customers.

Key Actions:

• 1.Foreign exchange receipt and payment (receive and pay through Zhongshen’s corporate account,complying with the requirements of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange);
• 2.Foreign exchange settlement and purchase (settle at the exchange rate of the day,no additional handling fee);
• 3.Export tax refund (submit to Nanchang Tax Bureau within 15 working days after complete documents,and the time for tax refund to be credited is shortened to within 30 days).

Common Problems: Breach of contract caused by untimely foreign exchange receipt and payment,missing tax refund documents (such as inconsistent information between customs declaration form and invoice).

Role of Zhongshen: Arrange special personnel to follow up the arrival of foreign exchange,and the pre-review pass rate of tax refund documents is 100%.Since 2026,the cumulative tax refund for Nanchang customers has exceeded 200 million yuan,and the average crediting time is 10 days faster than the industry average.

Zhongshen: Core Value of Nanchang Import and Export Agency

In 2026,the competition in Nanchang’s import and export agency market has intensified,but professionalism is still the core differentiation point.Zhongshen has been deeply engaged in the industry for more than 20 years.In view of the pain points of Nanchang enterprises (such as lack of foreign trade qualifications,unfamiliarity with local customs policies,slow tax refund,etc.),it provides full-process one-stop services: from early scheme customization to later tax refund crediting,each link is handled by a special person,to avoid customers falling into pitfalls due to unfamiliarity with the process.
