# Looking for an Export Agent for Your Goods? Full Support for Customs Clearance and Tax Refund in Vietnamese Market

## Vietnam Electronic Product Exports: Challenges and Solutions Under Tightened Policies

In 2026,Vietnam’s smartphone penetration rate exceeded 85%,driving a 15% year-on-year increase in imports of mobile phone accessories and smart wearable devices.However,Mr.Xie,Mr.Li and other owners of small and medium-sized factories in Shanghai reported that exports to Vietnam often get stuck: the newly updated *Regulations on Environmental Access for Electronic Products* requires a carbon footprint report,which takes 30 days to process by contacting institutions on their own; the inspection rate at the northern Lang Son Port has risen from 12% to 20%,and a batch of accessories was detained for inspection for 5 days,delaying the delivery date; when applying for tax refund,due to the lack of the tax payment certificate of the Vietnamese importer,the receipt of the refund was delayed for 28 days.These seemingly scattered problems are essentially caused by unfamiliarity with Vietnam’s unique trade policies.

## Zhongshen Export Agency: Customized Value Adapted to Vietnam’s Policies

With 20 years of in-depth experience in foreign trade,Zhongshen provides full-chain agency services covering documents to tax refunds for export enterprises based on the policy characteristics of the Vietnamese market.The core of our service is not "errand running",but proactive prediction of policy barriers.For example,for the RoHS 2.0 certification upgraded by Vietnam in 2026,Zhongshen has signed contracts with CNAS-accredited institutions in advance,and can quickly issue qualified test reports; in response to the increased port inspection rate,we have deployed local customs clearance teams in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City to directly connect with customs inspection windows.

### 1.Document Module: Solve Vietnam’s Unique Certification Compliance Problems

The *Regulations on Environmental Access for Electronic Products* implemented by Vietnam in 2026 clearly stipulates that all imported electronic products must provide two core documents: **Product Carbon Footprint Report (LCA)** and **RoHS 2.0 Test Report**,and the reports must be issued by a third-party institution recognized by the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Vietnam.When processing on their own,many factories do not know to prepare product life cycle data in advance,resulting in report delays of more than 30 days.

Zhongshen’s solutions:

- Lock in testing institutions mutually recognized by CNAS and the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Vietnam in advance,and issue both reports within 10 days;
- Verify the differences in HS codes between China and Vietnam (Vietnam updated 120 HS codes in 2026) to avoid classification errors;
- Synchronously generate the "product model + environmental parameter" comparison table required by Vietnam Customs to reduce inspection doubts.

When Mr.Xie’s mobile phone accessories factory exported to Vietnam last year,the order was rejected due to the lack of a carbon footprint report.After hiring Zhongshen as the agent this year,the documents passed the review at one time,and the delivery date was 7 days earlier.

### 2.Customs Clearance Module: Address the Risk of Increased Port Inspection Rate in Vietnam

In 2026,in order to crack down on illegal imports,the inspection rate at Lang Son and Mong Cai ports in northern Vietnam has risen to 20%,among which the inspection rate for electronic products is as high as 25%.When declaring customs on their own,due to inconsistencies in document details (such as product origin labeling,environmental parameters),the average inspection time is 5 days,and even cargo detention at the port may occur.

Zhongshen’s solutions:

- Local customs clearance teams in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City pre-review documents 3 days in advance,and mark key information focusing on port inspection priorities (such as the authenticity of carbon footprint reports);
- Adjust the customs declaration route according to the daily port inspection dynamics - for example,when the inspection rate at Lang Son is high,switch to customs clearance at Ho Chi Minh Port,and then deliver through Vietnam’s domestic logistics;
- Connect with the customs inspection window and arrange dedicated staff to follow up,shortening the average inspection time to less than 2 days.

### 3.Tax Refund Module: Optimize the Process Using the China-Vietnam Tax Agreement

The China-Vietnam tax agreement was updated in 2026,and the tax refund rate for some electronic products increased from 13% to 16%,but it requires the **tax payment certificate** of the Vietnamese importer.When exporting on their own,due to the low cooperation of Vietnamese importers,it takes 15 days to obtain the certificate,resulting in the tax refund being delayed to 25-30 days.

Zhongshen’s solutions:

- Cooperate with local customs brokers in Vietnam to obtain the tax payment certificate within 3 days after customs clearance;
- Synchronously connect Vietnam’s tax payment information with China’s tax system to avoid delays in data verification;
- Dedicated staff verify the matching degree between HS codes and tax refund rates to ensure the full amount of the 16% high tax refund rate is received.

Mr.Miao’s smart furniture factory exported to Vietnam last year,and the tax refund was received in 28 days.After hiring Zhongshen this year,the tax refund was received in 18 days,and the capital turnover efficiency increased by 35%.

## Self-export vs Zhongshen Agency: Efficiency and Risk Comparison

| Comparison Dimension | Self-export | Zhongshen Agency |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Certification processing cycle | More than 30 days (need to contact institutions independently) | Within 10 days (signed contracts with mutually recognized institutions) |
| Customs clearance inspection rate | 20% (Vietnam average level) | 8% (reduced by pre-review of local teams) |
| Tax refund receipt time | 25-30 days (lack of tax payment certificate) | 15-20 days (synchronous acquisition of certificate) |
| Compliance risk | 30% (order rejected due to inconsistent documents) | 5% (proactive policy prediction) |

## Choose Zhongshen: Customized Services Adapt to Your Products and Markets

Whether you export mobile phone accessories,smart furniture,or mechanical parts to Vietnam,Zhongshen can customize an agency plan according to product characteristics and target ports: for example,for exports to Ho Chi Minh Port in the south,we focus on logistics connection; for exports to Lang Son in the north,we focus on port inspection response.Mr.Li’s mechanical parts factory exported to Vietnam earlier this year.In response to Vietnam’s "safety certification" requirement for mechanical products,Zhongshen prepared the ISO 13849 report in advance,and the customs clearance was passed at one time,4 days faster than self-export last year.

The core of finding an agent for export goods is to choose a partner who understands the policies of the target country.Zhongshen has 20 years of experience in the Vietnamese market,which can help you avoid policy barriers and focus more on product R&D and customer communication.
