## Core Process Breakdown of Zhongshen Agency Services

### 1.Document Pre-review Stage: Avoid Risks at the Source

The documentation requirements for Zhuozhan Imported Food vary greatly by origin.For example,the health certificate for European Belgian chocolate requires dual certification,while the quarantine certificate for Southeast Asian Thai dried mangoes needs to prove that no harmful organisms are carried.Any omission will lead to failure to declare goods.

Zhongshen’s document review team will conduct a line-by-line review of all documents 10 working days before the goods are shipped:

- For food from European origins,proactively connect with certification institutions to complete dual certification,avoiding detention caused by missing certifications;
- For food from Southeast Asia,check the format and quarantine items of the phytosanitary certificate to ensure compliance with the requirements of Harbin inspection and quarantine authorities;
- For food from North America,confirm the validity of the genetically modified ingredient test report to avoid rectification due to labeling issues.

Last year,a Harbin distributor managed by Mr.Yang had his goods detained at Shanghai Port for 10 days because the health certificate of European chocolate had not been certified by the embassy,resulting in storage fees of 1,000 yuan per day.After entrusting Zhongshen,the document team completed the embassy certification in only 3 working days,and the goods finally entered the Harbin market smoothly,saving 15,000 yuan in detention costs.

### 2.Port Declaration Stage: Improve Customs Clearance Efficiency

Harbin Port has strict declaration requirements for imported foods.The electronic customs declaration form must be completely consistent with the information on the paper documents,and the cargo arrival report must be entered in advance.Many distributors,unfamiliar with the process,have their declaration forms rejected,extending the customs clearance period.

Zhongshen’s customs declaration team is familiar with the declaration procedures of Harbin Port and can achieve "instant review" of electronic customs declaration forms:

- Enjoy free trade agreement tariff rates based on the origin certificate.For example,ASEAN dried mangoes can enjoy a 5% tariff rate,saving 5 percentage points compared to the ordinary tariff rate;
- Proactively connect with local cooperative warehouses in Harbin to enter the cargo arrival report in advance,avoiding failure to declare goods after arrival;
- Complete adjustments within 24 hours for any required modifications to the declaration form,ensuring uninterrupted customs clearance process.

In 2025,when a distributor managed by Mr.Xu imported Zhuozhan American nuts,Zhongshen enjoyed a 10% tariff rate through the FORM A certificate of origin,saving 23,000 yuan in tariff costs compared to the original plan.

### 3.Commodity Inspection Stage: Ensure Compliant Release

The Harbin inspection and quarantine authorities have quarantine requirements for Zhuozhan Imported Food covering multiple aspects such as label review and component testing.For example,the Chinese label must indicate 12 pieces of information including country of origin,shelf life,and nutrition facts table,and the test items must comply with national standards such as GB 2760.

Zhongshen’s commodity inspection team will complete the following work in advance before the goods arrive at the port:

- Submit the Chinese label sample to Harbin inspection and quarantine authorities for review,avoiding rectification caused by unqualified labels;
- Proactively connect with third-party testing institutions to conduct pre-tests on key testing items (such as heavy metals and sulfur dioxide residues);
- Assist enterprises in preparing samples required for quarantine sampling to ensure smooth sampling process.

Last year,a distributor managed by Ms.Meng was required to retest when importing Zhuozhan Thai dried mangoes due to sulfur dioxide residue exceeding the standard by 0.5mg/kg.Zhongshen assisted her in contacting a qualified testing institution,and the retest was completed in only 5 working days,ensuring smooth release of the goods and avoiding return risks.
