# Yongkang Import and Export Agency Company Full Process Operation Guide and Practical Analysis

As the "Capital of China Hardware",Yongkang annually exports a large number of products such as power tools,thermal flasks,and leisure sports vehicles to the global market.In the 2026 foreign trade environment,international logistics timelines fluctuate frequently,customs inspection standards in various countries have become increasingly stringent,and domestic tax compliance audits have entered a new stage of digital supervision.For local manufacturing enterprises in Yongkang,relying solely on the traditional self-operation model often makes it difficult to cope with complex customs declaration and inspection and capital circulation needs.Professional import and export agencies have thus become an important link between Yongkang manufacturing and the global market.This article will systematically sort out the complete process of import and export agency business,helping foreign trade practitioners clarify key links and avoid potential risks.

## Preparatory Work and Compliance Qualification Review

Before the official shipment of goods,thorough preparation is the foundation for smooth follow-up processes.The core of this stage is to establish trade terms,review commodity classification,and confirm the right to import and export.For Yongkang factories without self-operated import and export rights,or enterprises wishing to reduce tax risks,operating through an agency company is the preferred option.

### Establishing Trade Terms and Contract Review

Mr.Cai runs a power tool factory in Yongkang and recently received an order from Europe.Before signing the contract,he needs to clarify trade terms (such as FOB,CIF or DDP).Different trade terms determine the division of responsibilities between buyers and sellers in logistics and insurance.Zhongshen’s role in this link is to assist Mr.Cai in reviewing the payment terms and delivery dates in the contract to ensure that the terms match the actual operational capabilities.For example,if the factory cannot prepare goods within the specified time,the agency company will recommend adding partial shipment clauses to the contract to avoid default risks.

### HS Code Classification and Confirmation of Regulatory Requirements

HS codes are the basis of customs supervision,which directly determine tax rates,regulatory requirements and export tax refund rates.Yongkang’s hardware products are diverse,and some power tools containing lithium batteries belong to Class 9 dangerous goods,with far higher regulatory requirements than ordinary goods.Incorrect classification may lead to cargo detention or fines.Zhongshen has professional pre-classification specialists who will accurately determine the HS code based on the product’s structure,usage and materials.For example,for power tools with lithium batteries,we will specially confirm whether a "Dangerous Goods Classification and Identification Report" and UN packaging certificate are required to ensure one-time pass during declaration,avoiding ship schedule delays due to amendment requests after return of declaration documents.

### Signing Agency Agreement and Checking Invoicing Information

After confirming the cooperation intention,the factory and the agency company need to sign the "Foreign Trade Agency Agreement".The agreement shall clarify the rights and obligations of both parties,especially the fee settlement method and tax refund ownership.Zhongshen will guide the financial personnel to check the invoicing information at this stage to ensure that the taxpayer identification number,company name,address and phone number are completely consistent.Under the 2026 taxation system,even minor information inconsistencies may cause the invoice to fail authentication,thereby affecting the tax refund progress.

## Logistics Booking and Export Customs Declaration and Inspection

After the goods are ready,enter the logistics execution stage.The goal of this stage is to transport the goods safely and timely to the destination port and complete legal exit procedures.For Yongkang enterprises,Ningbo Port and Shanghai Port are the main departure ports,and choosing the appropriate port and shipping schedule is crucial.

### Booking and Warehousing Operations

With 20 years of industry experience,Zhongshen can secure more favorable freight rates and stable shipping space for Yongkang customers.In view of Yongkang’s special industrial structure,we provide door-to-door pickup services to transport goods from the factory to our supervised warehouse.At the warehouse,we will assist customers with packing and palletizing.For dangerous goods,we will strictly operate in accordance with the IMDG Code (International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code),ensure correct dangerous goods labels are posted,and submit MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) to the shipping company and maritime bureau.

### Customs Declaration and Inspection Response

Customs declaration is a key step in the export process.Zhongshen’s customs declaration team will submit the electronic customs declaration form to the customs 24 hours before the goods are loaded.The declaration elements include product name,quantity,gross and net weight,currency,country of origin,etc.In the current customs inspection system,"machine inspection" and "manual inspection" are randomly conducted.If inspection is required,Zhongshen will send a special commissioner to accompany customs officials during on-site inspection,quickly explain the goods situation and provide required explanations.Due to our standardized document preparation,the inspection rate has remained at a relatively low level in the industry,greatly shortening the customs clearance time.

### Common Problems and Solutions

The most common problem at this stage is "return of customs declaration form".The reasons are usually failed logical inspection,such as weight exceeding the container’s load limit,or inconsistent declared currency with the letter of credit.Zhongshen’s operators will conduct strict self-review before declaration.Once receiving the customs return notice,we will immediately analyze the cause and revise the declaration to ensure release before the customs cut-off time.

## Foreign Exchange Receipt and Payment,Settlement and Purchase

After the goods depart,capital flow management becomes the focus.The goal of this stage is to safely receive payment,accurately settle foreign exchange,and complete foreign exchange verification.In 2026,the State Administration of Foreign Exchange’s monitoring of goods trade foreign exchange receipts and payments has become more intelligent,and enterprises must ensure the integration of "logistics,capital flow and document flow".

### Notification of Receipt of Payment and Account Management

Zhongshen will notify foreign buyers to remit the payment directly to our foreign currency account.As a professional agency company,we have multi-currency settlement capabilities,supporting mainstream currencies such as US dollars,euros and yen.After receiving the payment,we will assist customers with foreign exchange settlement based on exchange rate trends and customer needs.For example,when Mr.Fu received a US dollar payment and was worried about profit shrinkage due to exchange rate fluctuations,Zhongshen can provide foreign exchange hedging advice or settle foreign exchange at the peak spot exchange rate as instructed,maximizing the factory’s profits.

### International Payment Reporting

According to national regulations,every foreign exchange receipt must be reported for international payment.Zhongshen will submit the declaration information to the State Administration of Foreign Exchange through the banking system within the specified working days after receiving the payment.This step is crucial for the enterprise’s "foreign exchange rating".If the enterprise operates through an agency,the agency company will be responsible for the accuracy of the declaration data,avoiding being included in the "watch list" due to missed or incorrect reports,which would affect the speed of future foreign exchange receipts.

## Export Tax Refund Declaration and Fund Advance

Export tax refund is an important part of the profits of Yongkang foreign trade enterprises.This stage has complicated procedures involving system docking with multiple departments including the tax bureau,customs and foreign exchange administration.One of Zhongshen’s core advantages is its ability to efficiently handle the tax refund process and provide fund advance services.

### Document Collection and Review

The "three documents and two invoices" required for tax refund must be complete and logically consistent.Specifically,they include: customs declaration tax refund copy,verification form (or E-port information),VAT invoice,export invoice and Agency Export Goods Certificate.Zhongshen’s tax refund specialists will carefully check each invoice.For example,if there is a slight difference in product names between the input VAT invoice provided by Mr.Mao (such as "electric wrench" on one side and "portable electric tool" on the other),this may be flagged as a疑点 during tax bureau review.We will detect such issues in advance and guide Mr.Mao to cancel and reissue the invoice in the invoicing system to ensure consistency between the invoice and the goods.

### Tax Refund Declaration and Exception Handling

After collecting all documents,Zhongshen will conduct pre-review and formal declaration in the tax system.The 2026 tax review system has introduced a big data comparison function,which will automatically alert for declarations with abnormal exchange costs.If a "letter of investigation" is issued (i.e.the tax authority sends a letter to investigate the supplying enterprise),Zhongshen will use its rich experience to assist the factory in preparing relevant purchase and sales contracts,transport documents and payment vouchers,and quickly respond to the tax authority to eliminate exceptions.Compared with factories handling it themselves,our approval rate is higher and the fund recovery speed is faster.

### Service Value Comparison

To intuitively demonstrate Zhongshen’s advantages in the tax refund link,we compare "factory self-operation" and "entrusted to Zhongshen agency":

| Comparison Dimension | Factory Self-operation | Entrusted to Zhongshen Agency |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Professionalism Requirement | Need to hire full-time financial and document personnel,high labor cost | No need for professional team,fully handled by Zhongshen |
| Tax Refund Cycle | Usually 3-6 months,extended indefinitely if letter of investigation is required | Efficient standard process,fastest access to fund advance service |
| Fund Pressure | Need to wait for tax bureau funds to arrive,long capital occupation time | Can apply for tax refund financing,obtain most funds after shipment |
| Risk Control | Low sensitivity to policy changes,prone to violation fines | Real-time grasp of the latest 2026 tax policies,compliance and risk avoidance |

## Summary and Recommendations

Through the above process sorting,it can be seen that import and export agency business is not a simple "errand service",but a comprehensive system project involving law,finance and logistics.For Yongkang’s hardware enterprises,choosing a professional partner like Zhongshen with over 20 years of industry experience means transferring tedious documents and compliance risks to experts,allowing enterprises to focus on product R&D and market expansion.
