# Pengyuan International Freight Forwarding Common Pain Points and Solutions

## Common Pain Points and Solutions in Pengyuan International Freight Forwarding

### 1.Discrepant Documents Cause Customs Clearance Delays,Leading to Unanticipated Enterprise Losses

Mr.Chen runs an electronics foreign trade company.In March 2026,he exported a batch of smart watches to Germany.The freight forwarder’s bill of lading only listed "smart watches" in the "goods description" column,while the company’s customs declaration form detailed "model X200,waterproof rating IP68".As a result,Shanghai Customs requested supplementary materials,causing a 3-day customs clearance delay.The client filed a claim for delayed delivery,and the company suffered an additional loss of nearly 20,000 yuan including detention and storage fees.

The root causes of such issues are: In 2026,the General Administration of Customs updated the "Specification for Filling in Import and Export Goods Declaration Forms",requiring that goods descriptions include key parameters (such as model and specification).However,some foreign trade enterprise document personnel failed to update their knowledge in a timely manner; meanwhile,there was poor connection of document information between freight forwarders and enterprises,and key information was not checked in advance.

Zhongshen’s solutions for this pain point are:

1.The document team reviews all customs declaration documents 3 working days in advance,including bills of lading,packing lists,invoices,and customs declaration forms,and checks 12 key pieces of information such as HS code,goods parameters,weight and quantity,to ensure compliance with the 2026 latest customs requirements;

2.Establish a "document synchronization group" where freight forwarders,customs brokers,and enterprise document personnel share information in real time,and any changes must be confirmed by all three parties before submission;

3.If document discrepancies occur,issue a modification plan within 2 hours to avoid delays exceeding 24 hours.

### 2.Cumbersome Foreign Exchange Settlement Process Slows Down Production Capital Turnover

Mr.Xu is in charge of a home furnishing foreign trade company.In April 2026,he exported a batch of furniture to Vietnam.After the payment arrived,the company was unable to complete foreign exchange settlement at the bank due to the lack of "bill of lading copy + customs declaration form verification copy" provided by the freight forwarder.At that time,the company urgently needed funds to purchase raw materials,so it had to delay payment to suppliers,resulting in a rise in raw material prices and an additional cost of 15,000 yuan.

The root causes are: In 2026,the State Administration of Foreign Exchange strengthened trade authenticity review,requiring enterprises to provide a complete set of four documents: "contract + bill of lading + customs declaration form + invoice".However,some freight forwarders could not provide bill of lading copies in a timely manner; enterprise financial personnel were unfamiliar with the latest foreign exchange policies and failed to prepare relevant documents in advance.

Zhongshen’s solutions:

1.The foreign exchange team collects all trade documents (contract,bill of lading,customs declaration form,invoice) 3 days before shipment and reviews them in advance to ensure compliance with foreign exchange requirements;

2.Establish "foreign trade agency green channels" with multiple banks in Shanghai,and complete foreign exchange settlement within 1 working day after the payment arrives;

3.Provide foreign exchange purchase services.If enterprises need to pay international freight,storage fees,etc.they can directly handle it through Zhongshen without submitting additional materials,and the funds will arrive within 12 hours.

### 3.International Transportation Delays Force Enterprises to Bear Additional Costs

Mr.Yan runs a clothing foreign trade company.In May 2026,he exported a batch of summer clothing to France.Due to adjustments to the Mediterranean shipping route caused by the situation in the Red Sea,the freight forwarder failed to notify in a timely manner,and the goods were detained at the Singapore transit port for 2 days.The client required delivery within 7 days,so the company had to switch the remaining goods to air freight,paying an additional 32,000 yuan in air freight costs.

The root causes are: In 2026,global shipping routes are frequently adjusted due to geopolitical factors,and some freight forwarders have delayed information updates; there is a lack of full-process logistics tracking systems,so enterprises cannot grasp the status of goods in real time; and no alternative transportation plans were formulated in advance.

Zhongshen’s solutions:

1.Establish a real-time information sharing mechanism with 5 leading shipping companies including Maersk and Mediterranean Shipping Company,and update route adjustments and port congestion situations daily;

2.Independently develop a "logistics tracking system" where enterprises can check the goods location,estimated arrival time,and transit port status via mobile phones,with updates every 2 hours;

3.For important goods,formulate 2 alternative transportation plans in advance (such as sea + air freight combination),and start the alternative plan within 1 hour if the original plan is delayed.

### 4.Non-Standard Warehouse Management Leads to High Risk of Damaged or Lost Goods

Mr.Geng is in charge of a toy foreign trade company.In June 2026,a batch of plush toys were stored in a small bonded warehouse in Shanghai.Since the warehouse did not turn on temperature and humidity control,some goods became damp and moldy,and the client refused to accept them.The company suffered a loss of 28,000 yuan in goods value,and also needed to restock goods,delaying delivery time.

The root causes are: In 2026,the demand for bonded warehouses in Shanghai increased,and some small warehouse service providers had non-standard management,lacking measures such as temperature and humidity monitoring and classified goods storage; enterprises did not purchase sufficient freight insurance and could not obtain claims.

Zhongshen’s solutions:

1.All cooperative warehouses are Class A warehouses certified by the Customs,equipped with intelligent temperature and humidity monitoring systems (temperature 18-22,humidity 40%-60%),24-hour security,and forklift loading and unloading equipment;

2.During the goods storage period,Zhongshen purchases sufficient freight insurance for each goods (the insured amount is 110% of the goods value);

3.If goods are damaged or lost,Zhongshen will assist enterprises to complete the claim application within 3 working days,and the funds will arrive within 7 working days.
