# What Policies Should Be Noted When Acting as an Agent for Exporting Computer Accessories to the Southeast Asian Market?

## Background and Core Challenges of the Southeast Asian Computer Accessories Export Market

In 2026,demand for computer accessories in emerging Southeast Asian markets (represented by Vietnam and Thailand) is seeing explosive growth.Expansion of local e-commerce platforms and accelerated data center construction drive the annual import volume of accessories such as CPUs,memory modules and solid-state drives to increase by more than 12%.However,many foreign trade enterprises in Shanghai report that they often make mistakes when exporting to this region due to unfamiliarity with policies: for example,Vietnam has tightened the review of the ASEAN Certificate of Origin (FORM E) for computer accessories,Thailand requires energy efficiency grade certification for some accessories,and even minor negligence can lead to 3-7 days of customs clearance delay,or even port detention fees.

## Core Value of Zhongshen Agency Services: Accurate Matching of Regional Policies

In view of the particularity of the Southeast Asian market,Zhongshen relies on more than 20 years of experience in foreign trade agency,focuses on the two cores of "policy adaptation + process optimization",and helps customers avoid more than 90% of export risks.For example,last year,a Shanghai-based electronics enterprise exported solid-state drives to Thailand,and was required by Thai customs to submit supplementary materials because it incorrectly marked "energy efficiency label" as "energy efficiency grade".After Zhongshen intervened in advance,it assisted in adjusting the label content and synchronized with the local customs broker,finally completing customs clearance in only 2 days,5 days faster than the customer’s own operation.

### I.Document Module: Policy Requirements Unique to Southeast Asia and Responses

Southeast Asian countries have different review focuses on computer accessories export documents,and Zhongshen’s document team will make customized preparations according to the target country:

- **Vietnam: FORM E Certificate of Origin Review**: It is required to prove that more than 60% of the raw materials of the accessories are produced in the China-ASEAN Free Trade Area,and the "product description" on the certificate must fully correspond to the Customs Code (HS Code).Zhongshen’s document supervisor,Director Xiong,requires the team to check the HS Code 3 days in advance.For example,the HS Code for CPU is 85423100,and it is required to clearly mark "Central Processing Unit (CPU)" in FORM E instead of the general "computer accessories",to avoid rejection due to vague description.
- **Thailand: Energy Efficiency Grade Certification (TIS1100-2548)**: Some computer power supplies and monitors are required to provide energy efficiency certification from the Thai Industrial Standards Institute (TISI).Zhongshen has established a green channel with local certification institutions,which can complete the verification of certification documents within 3 working days,2 working days faster than customers applying on their own.

### II.Customs Clearance Module: Practical Solutions to Avoid Regional Customs Clearance Barriers

Some ports in Southeast Asia (such as Ho Chi Minh Port in Vietnam and Bangkok Port in Thailand) often have customs clearance queues due to saturated container throughput.Zhongshen improves efficiency through the following measures:

| Target Country | Unique Customs Clearance Barrier | Zhongshen’s Response Solution | Efficiency Improvement Effect |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Vietnam | The random inspection rate of "high-value accessories (such as high-end GPUs)" by customs reaches 30% | Synchronize the commercial invoice,packing list and certificate of origin of the accessories to the Vietnamese customs broker in advance,and provide the "product technical specification" (including chip model and performance parameters) at the same time | The random inspection pass rate is increased to 95%,and the customs clearance time is shortened by 40% |
| Thailand | Some ports require "container seal photos" to be uploaded 24 hours before arrival | Cooperate with shipping companies to obtain and upload seal photos within 12 hours after container loading,and update the customs declaration status synchronously | Complete customs clearance within 1 day after arrival,avoiding port detention fees |

### III.Tax Refund Module: Difficulties and Acceleration Tips for Tax Refund for Exports to Southeast Asia

The tax refund process for computer accessories exported to Southeast Asia varies depending on "whether the preferential tax rate of the ASEAN Free Trade Area is enjoyed".Zhongshen’s tax refund team has summarized two acceleration tips:

- **Lock in preferential tax rates in advance**: If the accessories meet the FORM E requirements,they can enjoy a preferential tariff of 0-5%.At the same time,the "ASEAN Free Trade Area" mark shall be marked on the "export declaration form" when applying for tax refund.Zhongshen’s tax refund supervisor,Supervisor Geng,requires the team to confirm the tax rate before customs declaration to avoid tax refund delay caused by incorrect tax rate.
- **Synchronous electronic documentation**: In 2026,China Customs will implement electronic documentation for export tax refunds.Through system connection,Zhongshen synchronizes documents such as customs declaration forms,value-added tax invoices and bills of lading to the tax refund system,which is 3 working days faster than paper declaration.Last year,a customer exported memory modules to Vietnam,and the tax refund was received in only 7 days through this method,2 days faster than the industry average.

## Core Experience of Service Efficiency Improvement

The reason why Zhongshen can improve customs clearance efficiency and tax refund speed comes from three core experiences:

- **Regional policy database update**: Update the tariff policies and certification requirements of Southeast Asian countries monthly.For example,Vietnam added the requirement of "environmental protection testing for computer accessories" in 2026,and the team notified customers to prepare test reports 1 month in advance;
- **Local agency network layout**: There are 2 cooperative customs brokers in Vietnam and Thailand respectively,which can follow up the customs clearance status in real time and respond within 1 hour when problems occur;
- **Exclusive customer contact person**: Each customer is equipped with 1 exclusive supervisor (for example,Supervisor Jiang is responsible for electronic customers),who follows up the whole process from document preparation to tax refund receipt.

## Suggestions for Choosing Customized Services

If you plan to export computer accessories to the Southeast Asian market,it is recommended to choose Zhongshen’s customized services according to product types:

- If you export high-value accessories such as CPUs and GPUs,choose "VIP Customs Clearance Service" to enjoy the priority random inspection channel;
- If you export bulk memory modules and hard drives,choose "Tax Refund Acceleration Service" to ensure the fund is received within 7-10 days;
- If you export for the first time,choose "Full-process Trusted Service" to get full assistance from policy consultation to document preparation.

The Southeast Asian computer accessories market still has growth potential in 2026,but policies change frequently.Choosing a professional agency can avoid unnecessary losses.Zhongshen relies on more than 20 years of experience to help you complete the export process efficiently and in compliance.
