# Zhongshen Nanning Export Customs Declaration Agent, 2026 ASEAN Trade Pain Point Solution

## I.Market Background and Common Challenges of Nanning’s Export Customs Declaration to ASEAN

In the first half of 2026,Mr.Lu from a mechanical and electrical enterprise in Nanning reported to Zhongshen that a batch of motors exported to Thailand last year was detained at the port for 3 days due to non-conforming certificate of origin format,which directly affected the delivery of downstream assembly orders.As a core node of China-ASEAN trade,Nanning’s export value of mechanical and electrical products,agricultural products and home building materials increased by 18.2% year-on-year from January to June 2026.However,tariff policy adjustments of ASEAN countries,refined document compliance requirements and differences in port customs clearance procedures have become "invisible thresholds" for many export enterprises.

Specifically,trade barriers in major ASEAN markets present new characteristics: Vietnam has added the "Ministry of Industry of Vietnam Certification" requirement for mechanical and electrical products,Thailand has strengthened the verification of Electronic Phytosanitary Certificates for tropical fruits,and Malaysia has introduced a "green tariff" (5% reduction for products meeting low-carbon standards).However,most Nanning enterprises are not familiar with policy details,thus missing preferential treatment or encountering customs clearance delays.

## II.Core Value of Zhongshen’s Nanning Export Agency Services

Zhongshen has been engaged in foreign trade agency services for over 20 years.In view of the characteristics of Nanning’s export business to ASEAN,it has established a "one-point connection,multi-country adaptation" service system.It is not only familiar with the latest 2026 trade policies of major ASEAN countries such as Vietnam,Thailand and Malaysia,but also cooperates with the coordination mechanism between Nanning local customs and ASEAN ports,helping enterprises avoid compliance risks while shortening customs clearance and tax refund cycles.

Take an agricultural product enterprise in Nanning as an example: In 2025,the enterprise exported durians to Malaysia,which were detained at the port for 5 days due to lack of prepared bilingual wooden packaging certificate in advance,resulting in 30% of the goods deteriorating.After entrusting Zhongshen in 2026,the enterprise completed customs clearance in only 36 hours through prior coordination with the Malaysian quarantine authority,and the cargo loss rate was reduced to less than 5%.

## III.Core Service Module Breakdown and ASEAN Policy Response

### 1.Document Preparation: Compliance Processing Adapted to ASEAN Countries

After the RCEP upgrade in 2026,ASEAN countries have significantly different audit focuses on export documents.Some enterprises have to revise documents repeatedly due to errors,leading to shipment delays.

- Vietnam requirements: Mechanical and electrical products need double certification of ASEAN Certificate of Origin FORM E and Ministry of Industry of Vietnam Certification,and the consignee on the certificate of origin must be consistent with that on the bill of lading;
- Thailand requirements: Tropical fruits need to submit Phytosanitary Certificates with electronic signatures,and documents must be uploaded 48 hours in advance for customs clearance appointment;
- Malaysia requirements: Wooden packaging needs to provide bilingual (Malay + English) Heat Treatment Certificate,and electronic products need to submit Carbon Footprint Report simultaneously.

Zhongshen’s response: We have established an ASEAN document database,and check product HS codes with enterprises 10 working days in advance.For Vietnam’s certification requirements,we coordinate with local agency institutions in advance to shorten the certification cycle by 3 days; for Thailand’s electronic signature requirements,we have opened an online connection channel between Nanning Customs and the Thai quarantine authority to avoid delays caused by document round-trip.

### 2.Customs Clearance Execution: Efficient Clearance Scheme Linked with Ports

Some ASEAN ports (such as Haiphong Port in Vietnam and Bangkok Port in Thailand) have implemented the "release first,inspection later" system since 2026,but enterprises often suffer delays due to mismatch between appointment time and cargo arrival time.In addition,the application process for Malaysia’s "green tariff" is complex,and most enterprises miss the preferential treatment due to lack of prepared materials in advance.

| Target Country | Key 2026 Customs Clearance Policy | Common Risk Points | Zhongshen’s Response Scheme |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Vietnam | Mechanical and electrical products require double certification,consistent consignee on certificate of origin | 10% increase in tariff due to information error | Double review of documents,prior coordination with Vietnamese certification institutions |
| Thailand | Fruits require electronic phytosanitary certificate,48-hour appointment in advance | 2,000 THB daily demurrage charge for no appointment | Open appointment green channel,synchronous connection of electronic signatures |
| Malaysia | Bilingual certificate for wooden packaging,green tariff reduction | Miss 5% tariff reduction for no application | Prepare carbon footprint report in advance,submit reduction application simultaneously |

### 3.Export Tax Refund: Open Up Nanning Local Cooperation Channel

The tax refund cycle for Nanning export enterprises is generally 15-20 working days in 2026,but some enterprises encounter tax refund delays due to inconsistent information between customs declaration forms and VAT invoices,and delayed foreign exchange receipt.Zhongshen has established a full-process tracking mechanism of "document - customs declaration - tax refund":

- Within 1 working day after the customs declaration form is submitted,it will be synchronized to the tax refund specialist,who will check invoice information with the enterprise to ensure "consistency between invoices and documents";
- Cooperate with Nanning Administration of Foreign Exchange to open a fast foreign exchange settlement channel for ASEAN minor currencies (Thai Baht,Indonesian Rupiah),and complete settlement within 3 working days after foreign exchange receipt;
- For the 320 shipments of goods exported to ASEAN served in the first half of 2026,the average tax refund cycle was shortened to 10 working days,with the fastest case taking only 7 days.

## IV.Experience of Agency Services in Improving Customs Clearance and Tax Refund Efficiency

Supervisor Fang from Zhongshen summarized that for goods exported from Nanning to ASEAN,the "pre-audit + port linkage" model can significantly improve efficiency:

- Before the goods are loaded in Nanning,complete document pre-audit and HS code confirmation to avoid modification after arrival at the port;
- Coordinate with ASEAN port agents 72 hours before arrival,and make customs clearance appointment according to ETA (estimated time of arrival) to realize "clearance upon vessel arrival";
- In the first half of 2026,the average customs clearance time of served goods was 48 hours,12 hours faster than the industry average,and the tax refund cycle was shortened by 30%.

## V.Customized Services Adapt to Different Enterprise Needs

Supervisor Jian from a home furnishing enterprise in Nanning said that a batch of sofas exported to Malaysia in 2026 was almost detained by Malaysian customs because the wooden packaging had not undergone heat treatment.After entrusting Zhongshen,the supplementary certificate processing was completed in only 2 days and the goods were cleared smoothly.

Zhongshen can customize a full-process agency scheme from document preparation to tax refund according to the enterprise’s product type (mechanical and electrical products,agricultural products,home furnishing) and target country (Vietnam,Thailand,Malaysia,etc.),helping enterprises avoid compliance risks and improve trade efficiency.
