Yingzhou District Decoration Materials Export Agency, Full-process Foreign Trade Service and Policy Interpretation Scheme

Current Market Status and Common Challenges of Decoration Export in Yingzhou District

In the first half of 2026,the export value of decoration materials in Yingzhou District reached 120 million RMB,a year-on-year increase of 12%.The products are mainly exported to Vietnam and Malaysia in Southeast Asia,as well as the United Arab Emirates,Saudi Arabia and other regions in the Middle East.Mr.Jia from a local enterprise mainly engaged in tile export mentioned that when exporting to Vietnam last year,he failed to apply for FORM E Certificate of Origin in advance,missed the 5% tariff preference,and spent nearly 80,000 RMB more on costs.Ms.Bai from another sanitary ware enterprise said that when exporting to the United Arab Emirates,the product test report did not meet the requirements of the local customs,and the goods were detained at the port for 10 days,resulting in delayed delivery of the order and a 3% penalty deducted by the customer.

Combined with export data of Yingzhou District’s decoration industry and enterprise feedback,the current core challenges of export are concentrated in three aspects: First,the trade policies of target countries are volatile.For example,Vietnam has imposed anti-dumping duties (tax rate 15%-20%) on imported tiles since 2025,which requires detailed certificate of origin and cost accounting reports; Second,compliance requirements in the customs clearance link are strict.UAE Customs requires that environmental testing and material certification of decoration materials must be accompanied by third-party reports recognized locally; Third,the domestic export tax refund process is cumbersome,and some enterprises have a tax refund cycle of more than 30 days due to non-standard document submission.

Step-by-step Decomposition of Service Modules and Target Country Response Strategies

• Anti-dumping duty avoidance: For Vietnam’s anti-dumping duties on tiles,Zhongshen assists enterprises in providing detailed certificate of origin and cost accounting reports to prove that products meet the "non-dumping" standard,and some enterprises have successfully applied for tax rate reduction;
• Inspection rate optimization: Through the cooperation of the pre-declaration system and local agents,the customs clearance inspection rate of Yingzhou District’s decoration materials has dropped from the industry average of 18% to 10%,and the average customs clearance time has been shortened from 7 days to 3 days.

3.Export Tax Refund Service: Accelerate Capital Turnover

Export tax refund for Yingzhou District’s decoration enterprises is often prolonged due to untimely document submission and inconsistent information.Zhongshen’s tax refund service team optimizes the process through the following measures:

Supervisor Wu mentioned that last year,a panel enterprise in Yingzhou District handled tax refund through Zhongshen.Due to advance document review and electronic submission,the tax refund cycle was shortened from the original 28 days to 16 days,and the enterprise’s capital turnover efficiency increased by 43%.
