# 2026 Middle East Export Agency Service, Solving Core Pain Points of Customs Clearance and Tax Refund

## 2026 Middle East Export Market Background and Common Challenges

In 2026,driven by the promotion of strategies such as "Vision 2030" and "New Silk Road" in the Middle East,demand for infrastructure construction and consumption upgrading continues to expand.The export volume of building materials,construction machinery,consumer electronics,home goods and other products increased by about 12% year-on-year.However,many export enterprises report that volatile trade policies and complex customs clearance procedures in Middle Eastern countries lead to cargo detention and increased costs.

### Common Challenges in Middle East Export

- Frequent policy updates: For example,Saudi Arabia adjusted SASO certification standards for building materials in 2025,and some enterprises had their products rejected due to failure to update certification in time;
- Strict requirements for customs clearance documents: The United Arab Emirates requires the certificate of origin to be double-certified by the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade and the UAE Embassy in China,which is a time-consuming process;
- Foreign exchange settlement risk: Some countries implement foreign exchange control,and delayed arrival of payment may affect enterprise capital turnover;
- Difficulty in matching tax refund documents: Poor data connection between customs of some Middle Eastern countries and domestic tax systems leads to rejection of tax refund applications.

## Core Value of Zhongshen’s Middle East Export Agency Service

Zhongshen has been deeply engaged in the foreign trade industry for more than 20 years,and has established a professional service team for the Middle East market.It can quickly respond to policy changes of various countries and provide customers with full-process services from document processing to tax refund.Supervisor Deng stated that Zhongshen’s core advantage lies in "local service + policy prediction",which can help customers avoid more than 90% of common risks.

## Service Module Breakdown and Middle East-Specific Solutions

### 1.Document Compliance Service: Solving Middle East Certification and Certificate of Origin Problems

Middle Eastern countries have quite different certification requirements for imported products,and requirements are updated frequently,which is one of the main pain points for exporting enterprises.For example,Saudi Arabia requires all imported building materials to pass SASO certification,and the certification is only valid for 1 year; the United Arab Emirates requires GCC certification for consumer electronics,and also requires a consular-certified certificate of origin.

| Destination Country | Core Product Certification Requirements | Special Requirements for Certificate of Origin | Key Points of Document Review | Zhongshen’s Solution |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Saudi Arabia | SASO Certification (building materials,electronic products) | Issued by CCPIT + certified by Embassy of Saudi Arabia in China | Validity of certification number,consistency of product model | Connect with local certification bodies 30 days in advance,provide certification agency service; document team completes review within 24 hours |
| United Arab Emirates | GCC Certification (electronics,home products) | Double certification (CCPIT + UAE Embassy) | Match between certification date and bill of lading date | Cooperate with local agents in UAE,shorten certification time to 7 working days |
| Iran | VOC Certification (all imported products) | Consular certification of proforma invoice | Consistency between invoice amount and contract | Provide green channel for consular certification,completed within 3 working days |

### 2.Customs Clearance Agency Service: Coping with Middle East Customs Inspection and Quota Restrictions

Customs of some Middle Eastern countries conduct strict inspections on specific products.For example,the origin inspection rate of textiles in Turkey reaches 30%; Saudi Arabia requires food products to provide health certificates,which must be tested by customs laboratories.In addition,some countries implement quota restrictions on certain products.For example,Qatar’s annual quota for building materials is 500,000 tons,and extra tariffs will be levied on excess volume.

- Quota early warning: Zhongshen’s team monitors quota usage in Middle Eastern countries in real time,and reminds customers to adjust export plans 3 months in advance;
- Inspection response: Supervisor Deng has 15 years of Middle East customs clearance experience,is familiar with local customs inspection priorities,can quickly prepare supplementary materials,and shortens average inspection time to 1 day;
- Port coordination: Maintain long-term cooperation with customs agents in major ports such as Dubai and Jeddah,and prioritize processing of Zhongshen’s customs clearance applications.

### 3.Foreign Exchange and Tax Refund Service: Solving Middle East Foreign Exchange Control and Tax Refund Matching Problems

Some Middle Eastern countries implement foreign exchange control.For example,Iran requires payment to be settled through designated banks,and arrival takes 15-20 days; Saudi Arabia requires customs declaration forms and bill of lading copies for foreign exchange settlement,otherwise settlement cannot be processed.In addition,tax refund requires a settlement certificate issued by Middle East customs,which must match the data of the domestic tax system.

Zhongshen’s foreign exchange team has established direct cooperation channels with major banks in the Middle East,which can provide customers with safe and fast foreign exchange collection and payment services,and shortens payment arrival time to 7-10 days.The tax refund team sorts out all documents in advance,including customs declaration forms,settlement certificates,value-added tax invoices,etc.to ensure data matching with the tax system,which improves tax refund speed by 30%,**average arrival within 15 working days**.
