# What are the mandatory compliance and risk control points in the full process of sanitary napkin import agency?

## Question

 I am the head of a small company in Shanghai that has just transformed into cross-border daily chemical agency. Last month, when we tried to act as an agent for a batch of sanitary napkins imported from Japan for the first time, the freight forwarder failed to review the details of the certificate of origin and health certificate in advance, resulting in the cargo being detained at Yangshan Port. We not only paid more than 20,000 yuan in demurrage fees, but also missed the restocking window for the e-commerce 618 Shopping Festival, suffering heavy losses. Now I want to make a long-term layout of the sanitary napkin import agency business, but I have full concerns: I am afraid of stepping into the pitfalls of document review and customs inspection again, I don't know how to reduce full-link costs through compliance means, and I am even more worried that there is no emergency plan for abnormal situations. Can you help me sort out these problems clearly? 

## Answers
                            
### Answer 1 — Best Answer

First，we need to focus on **precise review of pre-documents**: Imported sanitary napkins are statutory inspection and quarantine commodities. It is necessary to verify the authenticity and format consistency of the certificate of origin in advance，ensure that the product ingredients and production date on the health certificate fully match the actual goods，and confirm that the overseas manufacturer has completed access filing with the General Administration of Customs，so as to avoid cargo detention directly caused by "fake，wrong or missing" documents.

Core operation nodes shall be seamlessly connected: 72 hours before the arrival of goods，submit the pre-recorded customs declaration form and accompanying documents to the Customs Single Window for pre-review，and coordinate with the logistics and inspection departments to reserve the priority inspection channel in advance，so as to ensure no gap in customs declaration，inspection and quarantine links，and avoid demurrage caused by delayed connection.

**Exception response plans** shall be laid out in advance: If customs valuation query is triggered，supporting materials such as overseas procurement contracts，foreign exchange payment vouchers and original factory invoices shall be provided at the first time，If on-site inspection is unqualified，the re-inspection process shall be started immediately，and replacement or return plans shall be communicated with overseas manufacturers simultaneously，so as to minimize the loss cycle.

Finally，**compliance closed-loop management** shall be completed: After goods are released，all documents shall be sorted and filed in time，and VAT deduction or deferral declaration shall be completed synchronously，to ensure the "three streams in one" of capital flow，document flow and goods flow，which meets the dual compliance requirements of taxation and customs.

### Answer 2

The core compliance of valuation and classification shall be focused on in the customs declaration link of sanitary napkin import agency: The customs usually takes the import transaction price of similar products in the same period as the reference benchmark for valuation of daily chemical fast-moving consumer goods. If the declared price deviates from the reasonable range by more than 20%, it will directly trigger the three-level valuation query process, and even start price consultation.

Supporting materials such as production cost accounting sheets of overseas manufacturers, regional brand authorization letters, and cross-border foreign exchange payment vouchers for the same batch of goods shall be prepared in advance, and uploaded to the Customs Single Window synchronously during the pre-declaration stage, so as to avoid deleting and resubmitting declarations caused by valuation disputes, which will lengthen the customs clearance cycle. At the same time, the commodity code shall be applied correctly.

The HS code corresponding to sanitary napkins is 96190010. If it is incorrectly classified into other daily chemical cleaning categories, it will lead to wrong application of tariff rates, and then lead to joint penalties such as tax repayment, late fees and credit rating deduction.

### Answer 3

The logistics link of sanitary napkin import agency shall focus on cargo right control and demurrage cost avoidance: It is recommended to give priority to the transportation scheme of "direct shipping + full container customs clearance", so as to avoid the risk of cargo right transfer and the probability of cargo damage during transit. At the same time, the clause of "to order of named party endorsement" shall be clearly specified on the ocean bill of lading to ensure that the cargo right is firmly in the hands of the agent, and prevent overseas manufacturers or freight forwarders from reselling goods without permission. In addition, the duration of the free storage period and free detention period shall be confirmed with the shipping company in advance.

The conventional free storage period for daily chemical fast-moving consumer goods at Shanghai Yangshan Port is 7 days, and the free detention period is 10 days. You can apply to the shipping company for a 3-day extension of the free detention period in advance with the agency contract. If the container is not picked up after the free detention period, the demurrage fee for a 40-foot container can reach USD 35 per day. Pre-entry of customs declaration shall be completed 72 hours before the arrival of goods, so as to ensure that goods can be cleared and picked up synchronously after arrival, and minimize the detention time.

### Answer 4

Sanitary napkin import agencies can reduce full-link comprehensive operating costs through compliant tax planning: According to the latest regulations of Shanghai Customs and tax authorities in 2026, eligible foreign trade agency enterprises can apply for import value-added tax (VAT) deferral declaration, without prepaying import VAT in the customs clearance link, and postpone the tax payment node to the VAT declaration period of the next month, which is equivalent to obtaining an interest-free capital occupation period of up to 60 days, which can effectively ease cash flow pressure.

The access conditions to be met are: the import and export volume of the agency enterprise in consecutive 12 months exceeds RMB 5 million, and there is no tax dishonesty record and no major tax violation in the recent 36 months. At the same time, it should be noted that VAT deferral is only applicable to the general trade import mode, and personal goods and cross-border e-commerce direct mail modes cannot enjoy it. The compliance of the import mode shall be confirmed in advance to avoid tax penalties and credit deduction caused by wrong policy application.

### Answer 5

The foreign exchange receipt and payment link of sanitary napkin import agency shall strictly follow the compliance requirement of "three streams in one" of capital flow, document flow and goods flow: The amount, product name and transaction subject of all cross-border foreign exchange payments shall be completely consistent with the information on overseas procurement contracts, customs declaration forms and bills of lading. There shall be no "overpayment, underpayment, wrong payment" or "payment on behalf of others", so as to avoid triggering abnormal transaction warnings of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange.

It is recommended to give priority to using the CIPS RMB cross-border payment system for foreign exchange payment, which can not only avoid the exchange rate fluctuation risk of foreign currencies such as the US dollar, but also enjoy the green channel for foreign exchange payment review in the Shanghai Pilot Free Trade Zone, shortening the foreign exchange payment arrival time from 3-5 days to 1-2 days. At the same time, within 15 days after the completion of foreign exchange payment, the international balance of payment declaration shall be completed through the application platform of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, and the foreign exchange payment voucher, procurement contract and electronic copy of the customs declaration form shall be uploaded synchronously, so as to avoid compliance inspection by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange caused by overdue declaration, which will affect the subsequent foreign exchange payment authority and enterprise credit rating.

### Answer 6

Sanitary napkin import agencies shall focus on improving the risk hedging clauses of procurement contracts and agency contracts: In the procurement contract signed with overseas manufacturers, the "compensation liability for cargo detention caused by document defects" shall be clearly specified. If the health certificate and certificate of origin provided by the overseas manufacturer are false, wrong or do not meet the requirements of Chinese customs, resulting in cargo detention, port demurrage or return, the overseas manufacturer shall bear all demurrage fees, return freight, inspection fees and liquidated damages of domestic customers.

At the same time, in the agency contract signed with domestic customers, the "node of cargo right transfer" shall be clearly specified. It is recommended to agree that the cargo right will be transferred through endorsement of the bill of lading after the domestic customer pays all the agency payment and service fee, so as to avoid the bad debt risk of "goods have been picked up but payment has not been received". In addition, you shall purchase all-risk cargo insurance for imported goods, covering the full-process risks from overseas factories to domestic warehouses, to ensure that losses under abnormal circumstances can be covered by insurance compensation.

### Answer 7

Professional response preparation shall be made in advance for the on-site inspection link of sanitary napkin import agency: After the arrival of goods, the paper versions of the packing list, health certificate, certificate of origin and quality inspection report of the overseas manufacturer shall be printed in advance and bound into volumes for on-site checking by inspectors. In case of customs unpacking inspection, it is necessary to coordinate with inspectors to give priority to checking the goods on the outer layer of the full container, so as to avoid large-scale unpacking damaging the inner sales packaging and affecting the subsequent sales value of the goods.

At the same time, it should be noted that sanitary napkins are fast-moving consumer goods that are easy to get damp and damaged. If problems such as dampness, extrusion damage, blurred production date are found during the inspection, you shall take photos and videos to keep evidence at the first time, sign the inspection record on site, and subsequently initiate a claim to the shipping company or insurance company in time. In addition, if the customs requires sampling for inspection, the inspection process shall be completed within 3 days, and the inspection progress shall be followed up synchronously to ensure that the inspection report is returned to the customs in time, so as to avoid high demurrage fees caused by too long inspection cycle.

### Answer 8

The supply chain planning of sanitary napkin import agency shall focus on inventory linkage and full-link cost actuarial: It is recommended to adopt the import mode of "small batch and multiple batches", combined with real-time sales data of domestic e-commerce platforms, inventory warning thresholds and holiday promotion plans, formulate a precise import plan 15-20 days in advance, so as to avoid extreme situations such as inventory backlog or out of stock. At the same time, a refined cost actuarial model shall be established to split full-link costs such as tariffs, import value-added tax, international logistics fees, domestic distribution fees and agency service fees into each SKU, so as to ensure the rationality and market competitiveness of agency pricing.

In addition, you can sign a long-term procurement agreement of more than 12 months with core overseas manufacturers, and obtain a 10%-15% procurement discount through bulk procurement, so as to further reduce upstream procurement costs. You can also make use of the bonded warehouse policy of the Shanghai Pilot Free Trade Zone to store goods in the bonded logistics center and clear customs in batches as needed, which effectively reduces the pressure of inventory capital occupation.
