Ex-factory Price of Import and Export Agencies in Songjiang District: Full Process Sorting and Cost Control
In recent years,the volume of foreign trade orders of many manufacturing enterprises in Songjiang District has grown steadily,but some enterprise principals still have no clear idea about the calculation of ex-factory prices for import and export agencies.After all,the ex-factory price is not only related to the cost of a single transaction,but also directly affects the accuracy of subsequent links such as customs declaration and tax rebate.Many enterprises have encountered inconsistencies between customs declaration forms and actual goods due to deviations in ex-factory price calculation,which not only delays the time limit but may also face tax verification.To help enterprises in Songjiang District clarify the core logic of the ex-factory price of import and export agencies,we systematically sort out the full process combined with the actual market situation in 2026.
I.Pre-preparation: Demand Docking and Qualification Review (Core Objective: Precise Service Matching)
1.Demand Docking: Clarify the Core Demands of Enterprises
Objective: Accurately match information such as the import and export type of the enterprise (general trade/processing trade),cargo attributes (general cargo/dangerous goods),transportation mode (sea freight/air freight),etc.to lay a foundation for ex-factory price calculation.
Key actions:
- Mr.Yang will arrange special personnel to connect with the enterprise and collect foreign trade order data of the past 3 months (such as cargo value,quantity,destination);
- Confirm whether the enterprise has the right to import and export (some small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises in Songjiang District still choose agents in 2026,no need to apply for it by themselves);
- Clarify the HS code of the goods (some enterprises are easy to confuse it,leading to errors in subsequent tariff calculation).
Common problem: Enterprises mistakenly believe that "the lower the ex-factory price,the better",ignoring the matching degree of subsequent services.For example,a machinery manufacturing enterprise in Songjiang District once chose a low-priced agent,and the goods were detained at the port for 3 days due to incorrect HS code declaration,resulting in an additional storage fee of 2000 yuan.
Role of Zhongshen: Mr.Yang’s team will provide the "Self-check List of HS Codes for Import and Export Goods in Songjiang District" in advance to help enterprises avoid the risk of code errors; at the same time,they will give suggestions on "monthly package price" according to the order volume of the enterprise,which saves about 8% of the service fee compared with single calculation.
2.Qualification Review: Confirm Compliance
Objective: Ensure that the qualification documents provided by the enterprise (such as business license,product quality inspection report) meet the latest requirements of Songjiang District Customs in 2026.
Key actions:
- Supervisor Shen will check whether the business scope of the enterprise’s business license includes import and export related content;
- Confirm the validity period of the product quality inspection report (some industries require the report to be valid within 6 months in 2026);
- For dangerous goods,review whether the enterprise has the "Identification Result Sheet for Use of Dangerous Goods Packaging".
Common problem: The quality inspection report provided by the enterprise is expired,which leads to re-inspection requirements during customs declaration and delays the shipping schedule.For example,a chemical enterprise in Songjiang District once paid an additional testing fee of 1500 yuan and delayed delivery for 2 days due to expired reports.
Role of Zhongshen: Supervisor Shen will mark the validity period of the report during review and remind the enterprise to update it 1 month in advance; for new energy enterprises that are key supported by Songjiang District,we can assist in connecting with the testing institution designated by the district government,and the testing fee is reduced by 10%.
II.Core Composition: Multi-dimensional Cost Disassembly of Ex-factory Price (2026 Songjiang District Market Status)
Objective: Clearly disassemble each cost item of the ex-factory price,so that enterprises can understand where every cent goes.
Key actions: Supervisor Shen of Zhongshen will issue the "Ex-factory Price Cost Composition Form" according to the type of goods of the enterprise,including the following core items:
| Cost Item | Proportion Range (Songjiang District,2026) | Adjustable or Not | Zhongshen Control Measures |
|---|---|---|---|
| Agency Service Fee | 1.2%-2.5% | Yes (adjusted according to order volume) | For enterprises with monthly order amount exceeding 500,000 yuan,the service fee is reduced to less than 1.5% |
| Customs Declaration and Inspection Fee | 300-800 yuan per order | Yes (difference between general cargo and dangerous goods) | Provide pre-review service before dangerous goods declaration to avoid secondary declaration fees |
| Warehousing and Transfer Fee | 15-30 yuan per cubic meter per day | Yes (adjusted according to warehouse location) | We own 3 warehouses in Songjiang District,give priority to arranging the storage of enterprises’ goods and reduce transfer fees |
| Foreign Exchange Settlement Fee | 0.1%-0.3% | Yes (adjusted according to settlement amount) | When the settlement amount exceeds 1 million yuan,the handling fee is reduced to 0.15% |
| Export Tax Rebate Fee | 200-500 yuan per order | No (fixed service fee) | Pre-review tax rebate materials and submit to the tax authority within 3 working days to avoid delays |
Common problem: Some enterprises equate "ex-factory price" with "the ex-factory price of the goods themselves",ignoring the additional cost of agency services.For example,an electronic enterprise in Songjiang District once paid an additional 1200 yuan,which exceeded the budget by 15%,because the warehousing and transfer fee was not included.
Role of Zhongshen: Supervisor Shen will confirm details with the enterprise before calculation,such as "whether door-to-door pickup is required" and "whether the goods need temporary storage",to avoid hidden costs; in 2026,we will launch a "green channel" for new energy enterprises in Songjiang District,with a 10% reduction in warehousing fees.
III.Calculation Confirmation: Data Verification and Risk Avoidance
1.Data Verification: Ensure Consistency between Ex-factory Price and Actual Situation
Objective: Avoid deviations in subsequent customs declaration and tax rebate caused by data errors.
Key actions:
- Supervisor Mao’s team will check whether the "Cargo List" provided by the enterprise is consistent with the actual goods (such as quantity and specifications);
- Confirm the exchange rate for foreign exchange settlement (most agencies in Songjiang District adopt the real-time mid-rate in 2026 to avoid losses caused by exchange rate fluctuations);
- Sign the "Ex-factory Price Confirmation Letter" with the enterprise to clarify the calculation basis of each cost.
Common problem: The "Cargo List" provided by the enterprise is inconsistent with the actual weight,resulting in a "weight error fee" (about 100 yuan per ton) during customs declaration.For example,a textile enterprise in Songjiang District once underreported the weight of the list by 500 kg,resulting in an additional error fee of 50 yuan.
Role of Zhongshen: Supervisor Mao will arrange special personnel to check the weight of the goods on site,and provide free weighing service for large goods; at the same time,the "error range" is clearly defined in the "Confirmation Letter",and the excess part will be borne by the agency (the error range is relaxed to ±3% in 2026).
2.Risk Prompt: Hidden Risks in Ex-factory Price
Objective: Inform enterprises in advance of the hidden risks that may exist in ex-factory price calculation to avoid subsequent disputes.
Key actions:
- Ms.Hao will remind enterprises to pay attention to the "exchange rate fluctuation risk" (the fluctuation range of the USD-RMB exchange rate is about 0.5% per day in 2026);
- For processing trade enterprises,prompt the "manual verification and cancellation risk" (the ex-factory price must be consistent with the manual record price,otherwise it will affect the verification and cancellation);
- Clarify the charging standard of "document modification fee" (200-500 yuan per time for customs declaration form modification).
Common problem: Enterprises do not pay attention to exchange rate fluctuations,resulting in the actual received amount during settlement being 2% less than the ex-factory price calculation.For example,a furniture enterprise in Songjiang District once lost about 3000 yuan due to exchange rate fluctuations.
Role of Zhongshen: Ms.Hao’s team provides "exchange rate locking service" (for enterprises with order amount exceeding 100,000 yuan,the exchange rate within 3 days can be locked); at the same time,before manual verification and cancellation,we will check the ex-factory price and the record price in advance to avoid document modification fees.
IV.Process Connection: Coordination between Ex-factory Price and the Whole Foreign Trade Process
Objective: Ensure that ex-factory price calculation does not affect the time limit of customs declaration,transportation,tax rebate and other links.
Key actions:
- Ms.Hao will synchronize the confirmed ex-factory price to the customs declaration team to ensure that the value on the customs declaration form is consistent with the ex-factory price;
- Arrange the optimal route according to the transportation fee in the ex-factory price (for example,for sea freight from Songjiang District to Europe,priority is given to routes calling at Yangshan Port to save transit time);
- Connect the tax rebate fee in the ex-factory price with the tax rebate team to ensure that the tax rebate materials include cost details.
Common problem: Delayed ex-factory price calculation leads to the failure to submit the customs declaration form in time and delays the shipping schedule.For example,an auto parts enterprise in Songjiang District once missed the scheduled shipping due to 1 day delay in calculation,resulting in a ship modification fee of 800 yuan.
Role of Zhongshen: Ms.Hao’s team promises that "ex-factory price calculation will be completed within 24 hours",and for urgent orders (for example,the shipping schedule is within 3 days),we provide "urgent calculation" service at no extra cost; in 2026,we established a direct connection channel with the customs broker of Yangshan Port,and the customs declaration form will be issued within 12 hours after submission.
