# Full-Process Service Guide for Guangzhou Import and Export Trade Companies

## Full Deconstruction of Core Processes of Guangzhou Import and Export Trade Companies

Many owners of foreign trade businesses in Guangzhou have been asking recently: how troublesome is it to handle the import and export process on your own?Last month,Ms.Ruan’s company wanted to export a batch of electronic products to Southeast Asia,and it was stuck in customs declaration for 3 days,almost missing the delivery date.In fact,the core process of Guangzhou import and export trade hides many details that are easy to step into pitfalls.Today we will break down the full process from order receiving to tax rebate,and see how a professional agent can help.

### I.Preparatory Work and Contract Signing

The goal of this stage is to clarify the rights and responsibilities of both trading parties,and ensure that the subsequent process has a compliance basis.Many enterprise owners in Guangzhou tend to ignore the trade term agreement in the contract at the beginning,leading to disputes over subsequent transportation costs.

Key actions include:

- Confirm product specifications,quantity and delivery date of customer orders
- Clarify trade terms and corresponding division of responsibilities (for example,under FOB,the seller is responsible for transportation to the port,and the buyer is responsible for sea freight)
- Sign a compliant foreign trade contract and clarify the payment method (T/T,L/C,etc.)

Common problems and solutions are as follows:

| Common Problems | Pitfalls Easy to Encounter in Independent Operation | Solutions from Zhongshen |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Unclear agreement on trade terms | Disputes easily arise over who bears subsequent transportation costs | Help customers select the optimal trade terms according to product characteristics and destination,and clarify all responsibility boundaries |
| Contract terms do not meet customs requirements | Returned due to missing contract details during customs declaration | Audit the compliance of the contract with customs requirements,and supplement information required for customs declaration such as HS code,origin,etc. |

Role of Zhongshen at this stage: As a professional agent,we will first help customers audit the compliance of orders,such as confirming whether the product is an export-restricted category in Guangzhou,and adjust the payment terms in the contract according to the latest 2026 foreign trade policies to avoid foreign exchange risks.For example,last year Mr.Teng’s company planned to export a batch of chemical products,Zhongshen reminded in advance that the product required an additional commodity inspection certificate,which avoided subsequent customs declaration delays.

### II.Customs Declaration,Commodity Inspection,Warehousing and Transportation

This stage is the core node of the import and export process,which directly affects the delivery date.As a major foreign trade port,the efficiency of customs declaration and inspection in Guangzhou is directly related to the capital turnover speed of enterprises.

Objective: To ensure that the goods pass customs inspection smoothly and are loaded and shipped on time.

Key actions:

- Prepare customs declaration documents: packing list,invoice,contract,bill of lading,commodity inspection certificate (if required)
- Arrange warehousing: if goods need temporary storage,select a compliant warehouse close to the port
- Customs declaration and inspection: submit documents to the customs and cooperate with inspection (if required)

Common problems:

1.Incomplete customs declaration documents: for example,incorrect HS code classification leads to extended customs inspection time.In 2026,Guangzhou Customs has stricter review on HS codes,and many enterprises have been rejected more than 3 times due to incorrect codes.

2.Excessively high warehousing costs: warehouse rent near Guangzhou ports has increased,and independent selection is easy to get overcharged.

Role of Zhongshen: Zhongshen has an exclusive customs declaration team,familiar with the latest 2026 policies of Guangzhou Customs,can accurately classify HS codes,and the average customs declaration time is 2 days faster than the industry average.At the same time,Zhongshen has long-term cooperation with a number of compliant warehouses in Guangzhou,and can help customers get warehousing prices 15% lower than the market price.For example,last month Ms.Ji’s company exported clothing,the warehouse arranged by Zhongshen is not only close to Nansha Port,but also provides free cargo sorting services,saving a lot of time.

### III.Foreign Exchange Receipt,Payment and Settlement

This stage involves capital security and is one of the most concerned links for enterprises.In 2026,the RMB exchange rate fluctuates greatly,how to safely receive and settle foreign exchange is a pain point for Guangzhou import and export enterprises.

Objective: Receive foreign exchange safely and quickly,and settle foreign exchange in accordance with the latest policies.

Key actions:

- Confirm foreign exchange arrival: check whether the amount is correct through bank slip
- Prepare settlement documents: export contract,invoice,customs declaration form
- Handle foreign exchange settlement: settle exchange to RMB account according to the latest exchange rate

Common problems:

1.Delayed foreign exchange arrival: due to strict bank review,the foreign exchange arrival time for some enterprises is as long as 7 days.

2.Changes in settlement policies: the State Administration of Foreign Exchange of Guangzhou adjusted the policy for small-value export settlement in 2026,and many enterprises do not know the new requirements.

Role of Zhongshen: Zhongshen has a professional foreign exchange team,which can help customers audit foreign exchange documents in advance,and shorten the arrival time to within 3 days.At the same time,Zhongshen updates settlement policies in a timely manner.For example,the small-value export settlement facilitation policy launched by Guangzhou in March this year,Zhongshen helped customers apply for it as soon as possible,saving 10% of settlement handling fees.For example,Mr.Liang’s company does small cross-border e-commerce export,Zhongshen helped him handle facilitation settlement,and he can save thousands of RMB in handling fees every month.

### IV.Export Tax Rebate and Follow-up

Export tax rebate is an important source of profit for Guangzhou import and export enterprises.In 2026,Guangzhou’s tax rebate policy has been further optimized,but the process is still complicated.

Objective: Get export tax rebate quickly and improve capital turnover efficiency.

Key actions:

- Collect tax rebate documents: customs declaration form (tax rebate copy),VAT invoice,export contract
- Submit tax rebate application: submit documents through electronic tax bureau
- Follow up tax rebate progress: cooperate with tax authority inspection (if required)

Common problems:

1.Missing tax rebate documents: for example,the product name on the VAT invoice is inconsistent with that on the customs declaration,leading to rejection of tax rebate application.

2.Slow tax rebate progress: the tax rebate time for some enterprises is as long as 2 months,which affects capital turnover.

Role of Zhongshen: Zhongshen has an exclusive tax rebate team,which can check the consistency of all documents in advance to ensure one-time approval.At the same time,Zhongshen has a good communication mechanism with Guangzhou tax authorities,and the average tax rebate time is shortened to within 15 days.For example,last year Ms.Shu’s company exported electronic products,the tax rebate handled by Zhongshen was 1 month faster than independent application,which greatly improved capital turnover efficiency.

## Core Value of Zhongshen in Guangzhou Import and Export Trade

In summary,as an agency company that has been deeply rooted in Guangzhou’s import and export industry for more than 20 years,Zhongshen can help customers solve the following core problems:

- Avoid policy risks: Familiar with the latest 2026 customs,foreign exchange and tax rebate policies,avoid delays and losses caused by insufficient policy understanding
- Improve efficiency: The average processing time of each link is more than 20% faster than the industry average,ensuring on-time delivery and capital arrival
- Reduce costs: Get lower warehousing and transportation prices through long-term cooperation,saving 10%-15% of operating costs
