# Casting Materials Foreign Trade Export Agency: Professional Services Empower Global Layout

## Casting Materials Export to Indonesia: Policy Challenges Amid Rising Demand

In 2026,infrastructure projects such as the Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Rail extension and the new Surabaya Industrial Park in Indonesia will enter a concentrated construction phase,with demand for casting materials including ductile iron pipes,cast steel valves and refractory materials increasing by 23% compared to 2025.Many Shanghai foundry enterprises want to seize this opportunity,but exporting to Indonesia often gets stuck at "policy thresholds" — some enterprises have their goods detained by customs for failing to apply for SNI certification in advance,some miss out on tariff preferences due to incorrect filling of FORM E certificates of origin,and others delay delivery due to unfamiliarity with Indonesia’s new electronic customs clearance system,leading to order losses.

## Zhongshen’s Core Services: Targeted Solutions to Indonesia Trade Pain Points

Zhongshen has over 20 years of experience in foreign trade agency.Since 2023,we have established an exclusive policy update database for the Indonesian market.In 2026,we tracked in advance adjustments such as the simplification of SNI certification for casting materials and the expansion of the scope of FORM E tariff preferences in Indonesia,helping clients avoid more than 90% of common policy pitfalls.Below is a detailed breakdown of our service modules:

### 1.Documentation Preparation: Mastering Indonesian Certification and Origin Rules

In 2026,Indonesia has added two key requirements for import documents of casting materials: first,non-metallic casting materials need to provide a low-toxicity test report from the Indonesian Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLH); second,SNI certification for metal castings needs to be supplemented with raw material traceability certificates.Ms.Hu,head of documentation at Zhongshen,said: "Last year,a client only provided a finished product test report without attaching the raw material origin certificate,which was returned by Indonesian customs for resubmission,delaying the process by 12 days.We have now pre-connected with three Indonesian authorized certification bodies,and clients can obtain SNI certification within 7 working days after submitting materials,which is 10 days faster than applying on their own."

- SNI Certification: For metal castings,the component content must be clearly specified (e.g.the magnesium content of ductile iron must be ≥0.03%),and the certification is valid for 2 years;
- FORM E Certificate of Origin: Must indicate "China-ASEAN Free Trade Agreement",and the HS code must match the Indonesian customs database (e.g.the HS code of cast steel valves must correspond to item 8481);
- Dangerous Goods Materials: If refractory materials contain ≥80% alumina,an additional MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) and KLH transportation permit are required.

### 2.Customs Clearance & Landing: Responding to Indonesia’s New Electronic Customs System and Inspection Risks

In 2026,Indonesia will fully launch the e-Customs 2.0 electronic customs clearance system,requiring all documents to be uploaded in PDF format,and large cast steel parts need to submit 3D modeling drawings (with dimensional tolerances ±0.5mm marked) simultaneously.Mr.Guo,head of the customs clearance team at Zhongshen,mentioned: "Last year,a client’s 12-ton cast steel valve body was automatically intercepted and inspected by the system because the 3D drawing did not mark the tolerances.We coordinated with the local agent to supplement the drawing on the same day and completed customs clearance within 24 hours,avoiding detention fees of $300 per day."

### 3.Export Tax Refund: Key Operations to Speed Up Efficiency

In 2026,China’s tax authorities have shifted their audit focus for casting materials export tax refunds from "complete documents" to "business authenticity",requiring the deduction copy of special VAT invoice for raw material purchases.Ms.Xia,tax refund specialist at Zhongshen,said: "Last year,a client’s 1.2 million yuan tax refund application was returned because the deduction copy of the invoice did not indicate ’special for casting materials’.We reminded the client to note this in the invoice remarks in advance,and this year the client’s tax refund application arrived in 18 days,7 days faster than the industry average."

- Pre-refund Preparation: Before the client ships the goods,we collect the bill of lading,customs declaration form and invoice simultaneously,and review the consistency in advance;
- Tax Liaison Channel: Establish a "green liaison window" with the Shanghai tax authorities,and feedback on complex issues within 24 hours;
- Tax Refund Tracking: Track the entire process from submission to arrival,and notify clients of adjustments within 1 hour in case of abnormalities.

### 4.International Transportation and Warehousing: Adapting to Indonesian Port Requirements

In 2026,the dangerous goods berths at Indonesia’s Surabaya Port will be in short supply.Zhongshen has signed priority booking agreements with Maersk and COSCO Shipping,ensuring that dangerous goods such as refractory materials for clients are shipped on time.The 5,000-square-meter bonded warehouse in Shanghai provides temporary storage services.Clients can enjoy tariff exemption for casting materials stocked in advance,and also enjoy value-added services such as Indonesian language label pasting and moisture-proof packaging,which meet Indonesia’s import packaging requirements.

## Customized Services: Meeting Different Client Needs

Whether it is a large enterprise producing ductile iron pipes or a workshop exporting small cast steel parts,Zhongshen can provide customized solutions: some clients only need customs declaration and inspection services,some need end-to-end agency services (from documentation to tax refund),and some need temporary storage.We can flexibly meet all these needs.For example,last year,a client only needed export tax refund agency,and we separately provided document pre-review and tax liaison services,helping them reduce the tax refund cycle by 30%.
