I am an individual foreign trade merchant operating daily necessities in Shanghai. I have been engaged in small-batch export business for 3 years, and I have always used general trade before. However, the volume of small and medium scattered orders has surged recently, and many small supplying factories cannot issue value-added tax invoices.

I heard that 1039 market procurement trade can solve the compliance problem of invoice-free export, but last week I heard from a peer that his goods were detained and port congestion occurred due to process negligence when using 1039 mode, he paid for the freight and lost customers. I am going to ship a batch of ceramic tableware worth 80,000 to Southeast Asia next week, and I am very anxious.

I am both afraid of missing the policy dividend of 1039 and afraid of stepping into process pitfalls. I want to know in detail the full process of 1039 export, as well as the details to focus on and contingency plans for each link, to ensure this batch of goods can be shipped smoothly and compliantly.

First is the Details of Advance Document Review: It is required to complete the filing of market procurement subjects in advance，including the filing and registration of market procurement trade operators for individual merchants，and the filling of the procurement list for the corresponding export goods. The procurement list must clearly mark the category，quantity and actual purchase price of each type of goods，and must correspond one-to-one with the supplier's procurement documents (such as receipts，supply agreements)，and general filling of categories is strictly prohibited，at the same time，it is necessary to verify the pre-entered customs declaration data on the market procurement trade online information platform in advance to ensure that the supervision mode "1039" is filled in correctly.

Connection of Core Nodes: The first step is cargo grouping after filing. The same batch of goods shall be separately packed and marked with a unique batch number in accordance with customs requirements to avoid mixed loading，the second step is customs declaration，which is connected to the online information platform by a customs broker with 1039 operation qualification，synchronizes the pre-entered data to the customs system and completes the declaration，the third step is foreign exchange settlement，which must be completed through designated cross-border settlement channels to ensure that capital flow is consistent with goods flow and document flow.

For Abnormal Contingency Plans: If the system prompts data inconsistency during customs declaration，you must immediately check the consistency of the procurement list and pre-entered data，complete the modification and re-declare within 1 hour，if customs inspection is encountered，provide procurement documents and filing materials immediately to cooperate with the inspection to avoid port congestion，if the shipping schedule is delayed，apply to the customs for extension of the validity period of the customs declaration in time.

Final Compliance Implementation: All documents (procurement list，customs declaration form，foreign exchange settlement certificate，filing materials) must be kept for at least 3 years，for subsequent inspection by customs and tax authorities，to ensure the full process is compliant without loopholes.

In the 1039 export customs declaration link, it is necessary to focus on the accurate filling of the supervision method. The "supervision method" column on the customs declaration form must be clearly marked with "1039", and the corresponding pre-entered data on the market procurement trade online information platform must be 100% consistent with the actual cargo information, including cargo category, quantity and declared value.

If there is inconsistency between the customs declaration and the filing information, the customs will directly reject the declaration. If repeated declaration is caused by failure to modify in time, it may trigger customs price assessment and inspection. It is required to complete the cross-check of pre-entered data 1-2 days before customs declaration to avoid customs clearance delay caused by data deviation.

For the logistics link of 1039 export, it is preferred to select a freight forwarding enterprise with operation qualification for market procurement trade. When grouping cargo, batch isolation shall be carried out in accordance with customs requirements. Goods of different procurement subjects shall be separately packed and marked with a unique identifier to avoid inspection confusion caused by mixed loading.

If container rolling is encountered, apply to the shipping company for priority booking through the freight forwarder immediately, and apply for extension of the customs declaration to the customs at the same time to avoid port congestion fee caused by expiration. In addition, the words "Market Procurement Trade (1039)" shall be marked on the bill of lading to ensure the compliance of destination port customs clearance.

Under the 1039 export mode, the core of tax compliance is the tax-free filing for invoice-free export. Within 30 days after the goods are exported, it is required to submit the tax-free declaration form for export goods of market procurement trade to the competent tax authority, and keep materials such as procurement list, customs declaration form, and foreign exchange settlement certificate.

It should be noted that if the same batch of goods contains categories with different tax rates, the tax-free scope shall be calculated separately to avoid tax inspection caused by mixed reporting. In addition, the tax-free policy under 1039 mode does not apply to prohibited export cargo categories, so it is necessary to verify whether the goods are in the allowed catalog in advance.

The payment and foreign exchange settlement of 1039 export must be handled through the pilot cross-border settlement bank for market procurement trade. When settling foreign exchange, it is required to provide supporting materials such as customs declaration number and procurement list number to the bank to ensure that capital flow is consistent with goods flow and document flow.

For small amount scattered foreign exchange settlement, it can be handled through personal foreign exchange settlement account, but the cumulative monthly settlement amount shall not exceed the specified upper limit. It is forbidden to use non-pilot bank accounts for foreign exchange settlement, otherwise you may be listed as a key object of foreign exchange compliance inspection and affect subsequent export business.

Under the 1039 export mode, there is no need to handle export tax refund, but it is necessary to do a good job in document management for tax-free filing. All relevant documents (procurement list, customs declaration form, foreign exchange settlement certificate, filing materials) must be kept for at least 5 years for subsequent inspection by tax authorities.

If the tax authority initiates a correspondence inspection, complete document materials shall be submitted within 15 days. It should be noted that if there is a false procurement list or capital reflux, you will be disqualified from operating the 1039 mode and may also face tax penalties. It is required to conduct regular self-inspection of documents to ensure the consistency of four flows.
