# Professional Agent for Xinhui Dried Tangerine Peel Export to Japan, Full-process Customs Declaration, Clearance and Tax Rebate Services

## Demand for Dried Tangerine Peel and Access Barriers in the Japanese Market

In 2026,the size of Japan’s herbal medicine market is expected to exceed 450 billion yen.Dried tangerine peel,as a core raw material for regulating qi and invigorating the spleen,has an annual import volume of about 2,800 tons.Herbal preparation enterprises and high-end restaurants in Tokyo and Osaka have particularly strong demand for dried tangerine peel from the Xinhui production area in Guangdong,with its volatile oil content and hesperidin index becoming key quality parameters for Japanese procurement.However,behind this market dividend is a regulatory barrier that discourages export enterprises.Since April 2025,Japan’s Ministry of Health,Labour and Welfare (MHLW) has strengthened the Positive List System for Agricultural Chemical Residues in Foods,increasing the number of test items for traditional Chinese medicinal materials such as dried tangerine peel to 276.The revised provisions of the Plant Protection Law implemented simultaneously require all imported dried tangerine peel to provide official certificates of no harmful organisms in the origin.In the 12 dried tangerine peel export businesses handled by Manager Lin in the fourth quarter of 2025,3 shipments were detained at Tokyo Port due to non-compliant pesticide residue report formats,and 2 shipments were detained due to missing phytosanitary information on packaging labels.The average detention time was as long as 18 days,and the resulting storage and testing fees almost swallowed up the profit of the entire order.

## Core Value of Zhongshen’s Export Agency Services

With 20 years of expertise in the export of traditional Chinese medicinal materials,Zhongshen has established a "pre-inspection,pre-review,pre-classification" three-preparation working mechanism for products with high regulatory risks such as Xinhui dried tangerine peel.The team led by Manager Lin does not simply fill in documents on behalf of enterprises,but intervenes from the initial processing link after the picking of dried tangerine peel,guiding enterprises to carry out standardized drying and grading in accordance with Japan’s Specifications for Raw Materials of Herbal Preparations,ensuring that the internal indicators of the products meet standards at the source.This pre-service model transforms the passive order-taking of traditional customs brokers into active risk management.In January 2026,a Xinhui dried tangerine peel export enterprise served by Manager Lin’s team completed the 276-item pesticide residue pre-test required by the Japanese side before the goods left the port.In response to the trace amount of chlormequat chloride detected,the team adjusted the temperature and humidity indicators of the storage environment,so that the final product met Japan’s limit standard of 0.01ppm,avoiding the risk of 400,000-yuan worth of goods being returned at the port of destination.

## Service Module Breakdown and Risk Response

### Document Preparation Module: Compliance Document System under Japan’s Positive List System

The complexity of Japan’s Positive List System lies in its dynamic update mechanism.In February 2026,MHLW again added limit standards for 3 new pesticides.A common mistake made by export enterprises is to use last year’s test report template,resulting in missing items.Manager Lin’s team has established its own standard document library,templating 12 types of core documents required for dried tangerine peel export,including Component Specification Instructions,Pesticide Residue Test Reports,Production Process Flowcharts,and Certificate of Origin,and marking the official required version numbers and validity periods of each document for the Japanese side.Regarding the qualification certification of testing institutions required by the Japanese side,Zhongshen only recognizes reports issued by CNAS-accredited laboratories that have mutual recognition with Japan’s MHLW,to avoid report invalidation due to unqualified testing institutions.In November 2025,a test report commissioned by an enterprise on its own was required to be re-sampled and tested at Nagoya Port because the laboratory was not registered with the Japanese side,delaying the shipment by two weeks.After Manager Lin took over,he reorganized the document chain,completed corrections before the goods arrived at the port,and finally completed customs clearance before the customer’s delivery deadline.

| Regulatory Item | Specific Requirements | Common Non-compliance Points | Zhongshen’s Response Strategy |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Positive List System | 276 pesticide residue limits,test methods must comply with MHLW announcements | Missing test items,non-compliant methods,unqualified institutions | Establish mutual recognition laboratory white list,pre-review report completeness and compliance |
| Phytosanitary Quarantine | No live insects,no mildew,packaging labels comply with ISPM15 standards | No IPPC mark on wooden packaging,scientific name not marked on labels | Pre-inspect packaging before shipment,provide standard label templates and marking services |
| Food Sanitation Law | Microbial indicators,heavy metal limits,additive use specifications | Production process description does not reflect key control points | Guide enterprises to establish HACCP records,match Japanese review requirements |

### Customs Clearance and Quarantine Module: Pre-inspection Mechanism for Phytosanitary Quarantine and Port Inspection

The strictness of Japan’s phytosanitary quarantine is reflected in the randomness and professionalism of on-site inspection.In March 2026,when a quarantine officer at Tokyo Port conducted an unpacking inspection of a batch of dried tangerine peel,they found particles suspected of insect eggs attached to the inner packaging.Although it was later identified as non-quarantine substances,the batch of goods was still detained for 7 days for isolation observation.Manager Lin’s team has set up a simulated quarantine inspection area in Zhongshen’s Shanghai warehouse.Before loading the goods,they use a 40x magnifying glass to check for pests on the surface of the dried tangerine peel and packaging accessories,and take high-definition images for archiving.Regarding the aflatoxin issue concerned by the Japanese side,the team will randomly collect samples for rapid testing to ensure that the content of aflatoxin B1 is lower than the Japanese limit of 5μg/kg.In the packaging link,Zhongshen insists on using fumigated wooden pallets that comply with ISPM15 standards,and hangs moisture-proof agents and insect-proof boards on the inner walls of containers to avoid moisture and mildew during transportation.This pre-inspection mechanism has increased the port inspection pass rate of dried tangerine peel goods served by Manager Lin’s team from the industry average of 67% to over 98%.

### Export Tax Rebate Module: Classification Optimization and Process Acceleration

The core pain points of dried tangerine peel export tax rebate lie in commodity classification and price declaration.Some enterprises incorrectly classify dried tangerine peel under tariff code 12119039 (other plants mainly used as spices),with a tax rebate rate of only 6%.The correct classification should be under tariff code 08134000 (dried citrus fruits),with a tax rebate rate of up to 9%.Manager Lin’s team accurately matches the tariff code by analyzing the moisture content,packaging specifications and usage instructions of dried tangerine peel,which increases the customer’s tax rebate income by 3 percentage points alone.In the price declaration link,Japanese customers often require that freight and insurance premiums be stripped from the FOB price,resulting in inconsistent amounts between the customs declaration form and the foreign exchange receipt voucher,which affects tax rebate review.Zhongshen adopts a separate voucher model,listing international freight separately,which not only meets the Japanese procurement habits,but also ensures that the customs declaration price is consistent with the VAT invoice.Since 2026,the State Taxation Administration has promoted paperless declaration of export tax rebates.Manager Lin’s team has completed tax filing,electronic customs declaration form binding and bank foreign exchange receipt data matching for enterprises in advance,compressing the tax rebate application cycle from the traditional 15 working days to 8 working days,and increasing the capital recovery speed by 46%.

## Practical Experience in Customs Clearance Efficiency and Tax Rebate Acceleration

Manager Lin’s team has broken down the entire export process of dried tangerine peel into 17 key nodes,with standard operating hours and responsible persons set for each node.In the document preparation stage,through parallel operation mode,laboratory testing,document translation and seal application are carried out simultaneously,saving an average of 4 working days.In the customs declaration link,Zhongshen connects with the H986 machine inspection equipment data of Yangshan Port and Waigaoqiao Port,and implements priority machine inspection for low-risk goods such as dried tangerine peel to reduce the unpacking rate.In view of the dense shipping schedule for the Japan route,the team has signed space guarantee agreements with shipping companies such as China Shipping and COSCO,ensuring that goods are loaded within 24 hours after customs clearance.In the tax rebate link,Manager Lin has established a tax rebate progress tracking form,synchronizing the review status of the tax system every day,and completing corrections for suspicious data within 2 working days.In the first quarter of 2026,a Xinhui dried tangerine peel export enterprise needed to complete the entire process from production to loading within 10 days due to a temporary order increase from Japanese customers.Manager Lin launched an emergency mechanism,coordinating laboratory urgent testing,port priority inspection,and reserved space for shipping companies.Finally,all links were completed within 9 days to catch up with the shipping schedule.The tax rebate materials were also declared on the 5th day after the goods left the port,and the tax rebate was received on the 12th day,which was more than 30% faster than the conventional process.

- Step 1: Product pre-evaluation and document list formulation,complete Japanese standard compliance review within 2 working days
- Step 2: Laboratory testing and report acquisition,coordinate CNAS laboratory urgent channel,issue compliant report within 5 working days
- Step 3: Document pre-review and rectification,use Japanese standard templates for item-by-item verification,complete correction within 1 working day
- Step 4: Official declaration and port inspection,parallel priority machine inspection channel and pre-inspection mechanism,complete release within 2 working days
- Step 5: Prepare tax rebate materials after release,pre-fill electronic declaration system and match data,complete tax rebate application within 1 working day

## Decision Suggestions for Choosing Customized Agency Services

Exporting Xinhui dried tangerine peel to Japan is not a simple customs brokerage operation,but requires professional control throughout the entire chain of production,testing,packaging,transportation,customs clearance and tax rebate.Zhongshen’s agency services are not a standardized package,but a modular combination based on the age of dried tangerine peel,usage (medicinal or edible) and customer type (herbal medicine enterprises or restaurants).For large-scale enterprises with an annual export volume of more than 50 tons,Manager Lin recommends adopting the "on-site pre-inspection + batch declaration" model,which advances the document preparation link to the production line,so that each batch of goods has complete compliance documents when leaving the factory.For small and medium-sized enterprises with scattered orders,the "LCL consolidation + centralized testing" plan is applicable to share testing costs.In 2026,Japan will implement a new Alien Species Law,which puts forward higher environmental protection requirements for packaging materials of traditional Chinese medicinal materials.Zhongshen has laid out degradable packaging solutions in advance for customers to choose from.Dried tangerine peel export enterprises should abandon the fluke mentality of "shipping first and then making up certificates".Before signing the sales contract with the Japanese side,they should introduce Zhongshen to conduct policy compliance review,so as to avoid the risk of performance breach caused by conflicts between contract terms and regulatory requirements.Manager Lin’s team provides free pre-export policy consultation,and enterprises can obtain a customized compliance roadmap through sample pre-inspection,turning regulatory risks into competitive advantages.
