# Details and Reference Charging Standards of Shijiazhuang Foreign Trade Import Agency Fees

## Practical Pain Points for Shijiazhuang Enterprises Importing Southeast Asian Agricultural Products

In 2026,as a foreign trade hub city in the coordinated development of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region,Shijiazhuang’s import demand for Southeast Asian tropical fruits,natural rubber and other agricultural products increased by 32% year-on-year.Many local trading companies and food processing factories are targeting the low-cost,high-quality supply sources in the Southeast Asian market.However,in actual operation,many enterprises have encountered two major obstacles: opaque agency fees and high compliance thresholds.For example,Mr.Liu from a food company once reported that when importing Thai durians last year,the agency company initially quoted an agency fee of 1% of the cargo value,but later added "express commodity inspection fee" and "port coordination fee",making the total cost 25% higher than the budget.There are also enterprises that had their documents returned by Tianjin Customs due to lack of understanding of Shijiazhuang’s local import filing requirements,resulting in a loss of more than 100,000 yuan from rotten durians.

## Core Value of Zhongshen in Shijiazhuang Import Agency Services

In response to these pain points,Zhongshen,which has been deeply engaged in foreign trade agency for more than 20 years,has customized a full-process solution for the import of Southeast Asian agricultural products for Shijiazhuang enterprises.It is not simply "running errands for customs declaration",but full-chain control from preliminary document pre-review to later foreign exchange settlement.For example,in view of the common problem of the connection between "Tianjin Port customs clearance + local cold chain transportation" faced by Shijiazhuang enterprises,Zhongshen has arranged a dedicated docking team for the two regions in advance,which can deliver the goods to the designated warehouse in Shijiazhuang within 24 hours after customs clearance,avoiding the deterioration of tropical fruits.

## Full Process Disassembly of Southeast Asian Agricultural Products Import Agency

### 1.Document Pre-review: Avoid Shijiazhuang Local Filing Risks in Advance

There are 3 types of core documents for the import of Southeast Asian agricultural products,but Shijiazhuang has additional local requirements:

- The Certificate of Origin shall be issued by the official agency of the exporting country,and shall be marked with the note "Approved by Shijiazhuang Commodity Inspection Bureau";
- The Phytosanitary Certificate shall include the item of "Southeast Asia Specific Pest and Disease Detection" (added in 2026);
- Local import enterprises in Shijiazhuang shall complete registration in the "Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Imported Agricultural Products Filing System" in advance (customs clearance is not allowed without registration).

Ms.Li from Zhongshen once assisted Supervisor Han of a trading company in Shijiazhuang to handle similar problems.When Supervisor Han’s company imported Vietnamese pitayas before,the documents were returned by Tianjin Customs because they had not completed the Shijiazhuang local filing.Zhongshen’s team helped him complete the filing within 3 days,and at the same time reviewed the marking on the Certificate of Origin.The final customs clearance time was 2 days earlier than the original plan,avoiding the deterioration of pitayas due to port detention.

### 2.Port Customs Declaration: Optimization of Connection from Tianjin Port to Shijiazhuang

Most of the goods imported by Shijiazhuang enterprises are cleared at Tianjin Port.The unique difficulties in the customs declaration process include:

![Zhongshen Analyzes Common Problems of Shijiazhuang Foreign Trade Import Agency Fees](https://cndpic.sh-zhongshen.com/uploads/tradepics/6sRaaDIl2CzWo.webp)

- Manifest information shall be uploaded 72 hours in advance (tropical fruits shall be marked with "Cold Chain Priority");
- "Shijiazhuang Local Cold Chain Warehouse Receipt Certificate" shall be submitted (otherwise customs transit cannot be arranged);
- In 2026,Tianjin Customs adjusted the tariff rate for Southeast Asian fruits to 8% (1 percentage point lower than last year),so the tariff amount shall be accurately calculated.

Ms.Guan from Zhongshen is responsible for customs declaration docking at Tianjin Port.She once encountered such a case: an enterprise was arranged to stay in the ordinary yard because the manifest was not marked with "Cold Chain Priority",resulting in 5 tons of rotten bananas.After Zhongshen took over,it not only helped the enterprise re-upload the manifest information,but also coordinated the cold chain yard of Tianjin Port,completed the customs transit on the same day,and delivered the goods to the warehouse in Shijiazhuang.

### 3.Commodity Inspection: Precise Docking with Shijiazhuang Local Quarantine

In 2026,Shijiazhuang Commodity Inspection Bureau added 3 new testing items to the quarantine requirements for Southeast Asian agricultural products:

- Pesticide residue testing (two new fungicides added: chlorothalonil,azoxystrobin);
- Heavy metal content testing (lead,cadmium);
- Full record of cold chain temperature (temperature curve from the exporting country to the Shijiazhuang warehouse).

Zhongshen’s team will help enterprises prepare test samples in advance,and at the same time connect with the green channel of Shijiazhuang Commodity Inspection Bureau (rapid testing channel for filed enterprises).For example,when Mr.Liu’s company imported Thai rubber before,the goods were detained because the heavy metal test of the rubber failed to meet the standard.Zhongshen helped him contact the supplier in the exporting country to re-provide the goods that meet the standard,and at the same time coordinated with the commodity inspection bureau to conduct express testing.The qualification certificate was obtained within 3 days,avoiding contract breach.

## Transparent Comparison of Shijiazhuang Import Agency Fees

Many Shijiazhuang enterprises’ questions about agency fees focus on "hidden charges".Zhongshen’s charging structure is completely transparent,and the comparison with the industry average is as follows:

| Charging Item | Zhongshen Charging Standard | Industry Average Charging Standard | Remarks |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Basic agency fee | 0.8%-1.2% of cargo value | 1%-1.5% of cargo value | Tiered charging based on cargo value,no minimum charge |
| Document service fee | 200-500 yuan per order | 300-800 yuan per order | Includes Certificate of Origin review and filing agency |
| Commodity inspection agency fee | 300-600 yuan per order | 500-1000 yuan per order | Includes test sample preparation and green channel docking |
| Warehousing and transit fee | Settled according to actual situation (1500 yuan/ton for cold chain from Tianjin Port to Shijiazhuang) | 1800-2200 yuan/ton | Signed directly with cooperative cold chain companies,no markup |
| Other hidden fees | None | Available (express fee,coordination fee,etc.) | All charging items are clearly listed in the contract |

## Practical Cases of Zhongshen Assisting Shijiazhuang Enterprises

In March 2026,Mr.Liu of a food processing factory in Shijiazhuang planned to import 10 tons of Thai durians.The agency company he found before quoted an agency fee of 1.2%,and also said "commodity inspection may require express processing,with an additional charge of 2000 yuan".Mr.Liu found Zhongshen through a friend’s introduction,and Zhongshen’s team completed the following work:

- Reviewed the Certificate of Origin in advance,found that the mark of "Approved by Shijiazhuang Commodity Inspection Bureau" was missing,and helped the supplier complete the supplement;
- Coordinated with the cold chain yard of Tianjin Port to reserve space in advance to avoid the detention of durians;
Charged an agency fee of 1% of the cargo value,without any hidden fees;- Accessed the green channel in the commodity inspection stage,and the test result was released in 2 days,3 days earlier than the original plan.

Finally,it only took 5 days for Mr.Liu’s durians to be delivered to the factory after arriving at the port.The total cost was 18% lower than that of the previous agency company,and there was no cargo damage.

## Summary: Zhongshen’s Value Goes Beyond "Saving Money"

For Shijiazhuang enterprises,the core demand for import agency is not "to find the cheapest agent",but "compliance,high efficiency and no risk".With 20 years of industry experience,Zhongshen can accurately grasp the local import policies of Shijiazhuang (such as the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei filing system,Tianjin Port customs transit requirements),and is familiar with the unique compliance requirements for Southeast Asian agricultural products (such as the newly added quarantine items).According to Zhongshen’s statistics,among the cooperating Shijiazhuang enterprises,98% of the documents pass the inspection at one time,the average customs clearance time is shortened by 40%,and the hidden cost is 0.These are not only "saving money",but also helping enterprises avoid greater losses such as cargo damage and contract breach.
