## Core Pain Points and Solutions for Enterprises in Nansha International Freight Forwarding Business

### I.Discrepant Customs Declaration Documents at Nansha Port Leading to Customs Clearance Delays Affecting Delivery Cycles

Mr.Guan,head of a foreign trade company,was in charge of a batch of electronic products exported from Nansha Port to Southeast Asia.The weight of the goods stated on the submitted bill of lading differed from that on the packing list by 0.5 tons,so Nansha Customs required resubmission of materials.The original 3-day customs clearance was delayed by 7 days,and the customer canceled the order,resulting in a loss of nearly RMB 100,000.In Nansha Port’s export business in 2026,customs clearance delays caused by document discrepancies accounted for 18%,extending the average cycle for enterprises by 4-6 days.

The root causes are as follows: First,document staff are not familiar with the new 2026 regulation of Nansha Port on "consistency of manifest and bill of lading"; second,there are errors in data transmission among multiple departments,and the warehouse packing list is not checked against the freight forwarder’s bill of lading in time; third,there is a lack of special review for the special supervision requirements of Nansha Port.

Zhongshen has launched the "three reviews and three verifications" mechanism: pre-review to check whether the documents comply with the new Nansha regulations; one day before customs declaration,local document specialists communicate with the customs on site in advance about sensitive information; after customs clearance,update the customer template to mark the special requirements of Nansha Port (such as the specification of LCL shipping marks).It provides the *Manual of New Document Regulations of Nansha Port* free of charge every month to help enterprises grasp policy changes in time.

### II.Tight Shipping Space for Nansha International Transportation,Difficult Booking and Large Price Fluctuations in Peak Seasons

In July 2026,Ms.Cheng’s clothing enterprise wanted to book containers from Nansha Port to Europe.Multiple freight forwarders stated that the shipping space was full,and some quotations increased by 30%.Finally,a transit port was chosen,extending the transportation cycle from 25 days to 32 days,with additional transit fees and storage fees,leading to a 15% increase in costs.

The root causes are that Nansha Port added a Southeast Asia express line in 2026,reducing the shipping space allocation for European and American routes; enterprises only book space one month before the peak season,while medium and large enterprises lock space 2-3 months in advance; small freight forwarders have no stable contracts with shipping companies,resulting in unstable shipping space supply.

| Route | Off-peak Shipping Space (TEU/week) | Peak Season Shipping Space (TEU/week) | Space Tightness Level | Price Increase Range |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Nansha → Southeast Asia Express Line | 1200 | 1500 | | 10%-15% |
| Nansha → European Basic Ports | 800 | 700 | | 25%-35% |
| Nansha → West Coast of North America | 900 | 750 | | 20%-30% |
| Nansha → Middle East Route | 600 | 550 | | 15%-20% |

Zhongshen has signed an annual shipping space contract with shipping companies at Nansha Port,and launched the "advance lock-in" service: 10%-15% of the shipping space is reserved 2 months before the peak season; the locked price is 10%-15% lower than the market price; if the shipping space is tight,a Nansha → Hong Kong transit plan is provided,with 50% of the transit fee subsidized.In the first half of 2026,it helped 32 enterprises book space in the peak season,with a satisfaction rate of 98% and an average cost reduction of 12%.

### III.Cumbersome Foreign Exchange Receipt,Payment and Settlement Processes,Delayed Fund Arrival Affecting Cash Flow

Mr.Si’s hardware enterprise exported goods to Australia from Nansha Port.After the foreign exchange arrived,the bank required supplementary materials due to the inconsistency of the quantity of goods between the customs declaration form and the declaration form,delaying the fund arrival by 10 days,resulting in failure to pay the supplier and incurring liquidated damages.

The root causes are that for some goods at Nansha Port,"customs declaration comes before foreign exchange receipt",and enterprises do not synchronize data; banks have stricter cross-border foreign exchange review in 2026; enterprises lack a professional foreign exchange operation team and are not familiar with the special processes of Nansha Port (such as the distinction between offshore and onshore accounts).

Zhongshen provides "one-stop foreign exchange receipt and payment service": synchronize data to the declaration system after customs declaration; review the foreign exchange source certificate before foreign exchange receipt; open a green channel for foreign exchange settlement at Nansha Port,completing the settlement in 1-2 days,3 days faster than the market average.Since 2026,it has helped enterprises shorten the average fund arrival time by 4 days,and improved the foreign exchange settlement efficiency by 60%.

### IV.Complex Export Tax Rebate Materials,Long Review Cycle Affecting Capital Turnover

The toy enterprise supervised by Mr.Miao exported goods to Japan from Nansha Port.Due to the lack of the "cross-border e-commerce retail export" mark in the remark column of the customs declaration form,the tax rebate materials were returned by the tax authority,extending the review cycle from 15 days to 30 days,and increasing the capital occupation by RMB 200,000.

The root causes are that enterprises have not timely understood the new 2026 cross-border e-commerce tax rebate policy of Nansha Port; the cross-departmental material check is not timely; the tax authority has stricter review on the authenticity of goods at Nansha Port,requiring additional logistics tracking records.

- Policy synchronization: Update Nansha Port’s tax rebate policy monthly,and provide customized material lists for different types of goods;
- Material pre-review: Tax rebate specialists review all materials to ensure compliance with the requirements of Nansha Customs and tax authorities;
- Tracking service: Track the whole process of tax rebate progress,and feedback and solve problems within 1 hour;
- Green channel: Cooperate with Nansha District Tax Bureau to complete tax rebate within 10-12 days,5 days faster than the market average.
