# Comprehensive Analysis of Kunming Import and Export Agency Services and Key Notes on Core Links

## Comprehensive Analysis of Core Processes of Kunming Import and Export Agency Services

In 2026,as a cargo distribution hub for RCEP member countries,Kunming’s import and export scale has increased by over 30% compared to 2023.Many local enterprises have product advantages but face order delays or increased costs due to complicated import and export procedures and strict compliance requirements.Mr.Liu from a local agricultural product trading company in Kunming once encountered such a problem: in 2025,vegetables exported to Thailand failed to enjoy tariff reductions because no RCEP-compliant certificate of origin was provided,resulting in a loss of nearly 50,000 yuan.As a key link connecting enterprises with the international market,entrusted import and export services can help enterprises save the trouble of cross-departmental coordination and policy interpretation.This article will systematically sort out the core processes of entrusted import and export services based on Kunming’s local foreign trade characteristics,and explain how professional agencies solve practical problems.

### 1.Preparatory Work and Qualification Audit (Goal: Avoid Subsequent Compliance Risks)

The core of this stage is to confirm whether the enterprise’s qualifications meet the import and export requirements,and sort out the cargo information to lay a foundation for subsequent links.Key actions include:

- Audit basic qualifications such as the enterprise business license and tax registration certificate,and confirm that the business scope includes import and export related contents;
- Sort out information such as cargo HS code,certificate of origin,and commodity inspection requirements (agricultural products exported from Kunming to Southeast Asia often need to provide a certificate of origin);
- Sign an agency agreement and clarify the responsibilities of both parties (for example,Zhongshen will specify the tax refund cycle and exception handling mechanism in the agreement);

Common problems: Some Kunming enterprises fail to enjoy tariff reductions for their goods due to not understanding RCEP rules of origin.The role of Zhongshen is to interpret the latest RCEP rules of origin in 2026 for enterprises in advance,assist in handling the certificate of origin,and helped 3 local agricultural enterprises in Kunming save over 120,000 yuan in tariffs last year.

### 2.Core Operations of Customs Declaration and Inspection (Goal: Ensure Smooth Customs Clearance of Goods)

Customs declaration and inspection are the core links of import and export.Kunming Customs has specific inspection requirements for Southeast Asia routes,which requires precise docking.Key actions include:

- Prepare customs declaration documents according to the type of goods (for example,fresh agricultural products need to provide quarantine certificates);
- Declare through the Customs Single Window and follow up the audit progress in real time;
- Cooperate with customs inspection (if controlled inspection is encountered,sort out the cargo list in advance);

Common problems: Fresh goods such as flowers and vegetables exported from Kunming are prone to spoilage if customs declaration documents are incomplete.The role of Zhongshen is to arrange special personnel to dock with Kunming Customs inspection posts,pre-review documents in advance,and helped more than 20 batches of fresh goods achieve "zero delay" customs clearance in the first half of 2026.

| Comparison Dimension | Self-declaration by Enterprises | Zhongshen Agency Declaration |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Document Preparation Time | 3-5 working days | 1-2 working days |
| Inspection Response Speed | 4-6 hours | Docking within 1 hour |
| Tariff Reduction Success Rate | 65% | 92% |
| Exception Handling Cost | Average 2,000 yuan per time | 0 yuan (covered by the agreement) |

### 3.International Transportation and Warehouse Coordination (Goal: Ensure Cargo Timeliness)

Located in southwest China,Kunming’s international transportation mainly relies on road and rail (China-Laos Railway is the core channel),and it is necessary to do a good job in the coordination between warehouse and transportation.Key actions include:

- Choose transportation methods according to the type of goods (for example,electronic products take rail,fresh goods take cold chain road);
- Coordinate local warehouses in Kunming (Zhongshen has cooperative cold storage warehouses in Kunming that can store flowers and vegetables);
- Track logistics trajectories and handle transportation exceptions in time (for example,if China-Laos Railway is delayed,alternative road routes can be coordinated);

Common problems: Cabin space is tight during peak seasons on China-Laos Railway,making it difficult for enterprises to book cabins.The role of Zhongshen is to lock in cabin space in advance (has cooperated with China-Laos Railway to reserve 10% of cabin space in 2026),ensuring that goods can be shipped on time even during peak seasons,and helped 15 local enterprises in Kunming solve cabin space problems last year.

### 4.Foreign Exchange Receipt and Payment and Settlement (Goal: Safe and Efficient Fund Settlement)

Foreign exchange receipt and payment involve banks,State Administration of Foreign Exchange (SAFE) and other departments,and need to comply with the latest foreign exchange policies.Key actions include:

- Assist enterprises in opening foreign exchange accounts (if the enterprise has no qualification,payment and receipt can be done through the agency account);
- Audit foreign exchange documents (such as bills of lading,invoices) and handle receipt and payment of foreign exchange;
- Recommend settlement timing based on exchange rate trends (the exchange rate between USD and RMB fluctuated greatly in 2026,and Zhongshen will provide real-time exchange rate analysis);

Common problems: Small and micro enterprises in Kunming have delayed fund arrival due to insufficient foreign exchange account quotas.The role of Zhongshen is to provide agency receipt and payment of foreign exchange services,eliminating the need for enterprises to open a separate foreign exchange account,and helped 8 small and micro enterprises in Kunming shorten the fund arrival time by 3-5 days in the first half of 2026.

### 5.Export Tax Refund Declaration (Goal: Accelerate Capital Turnover)

Export tax refund is an important source of profit for enterprises,and some enterprises in Kunming have delayed tax refunds due to incorrect declaration documents.Key actions include:

- Sort out tax refund documents (such as customs declaration forms,VAT invoices,foreign exchange verification forms);
- Declare through the electronic tax bureau and follow up the tax audit;
- Handle tax refund discrepancies (such as special audits for agricultural product tax refunds by Kunming tax authorities);

Common problems: Enterprises exporting agricultural products from Kunming often have their tax refunds rejected due to inconsistent information between invoices and customs declaration forms.The role of Zhongshen is to check the product names and quantities on invoices and customs declaration forms in advance,helped more than 30 enterprises achieve "one-time pass" for tax refund declarations in the first half of 2026,and shortened the average tax refund cycle from 20 days to 12 days.

## Core Value of Zhongshen’s Import and Export Agency Services
