Recently, I am going to expand SKUs of two categories: organic nuts and chilled fermented milk. I have never engaged in imported agency procurement business before. Last week, I cooperated with a small agency for a trial order of Australian nuts, and the shipment was almost detained by customs because the seal on the certificate of origin did not meet the requirements of Chinese customs. Fortunately, we found the problem in advance and got the supplementary certificate temporarily, and I still feel intimidated by that experience. I have already got intended quotations from 6 overseas suppliers, but I don't know how to screen reliable agency procurement institutions, I am not clear about the whole-process compliance details and risk control points, and I am even more afraid of problems like port detention and customs detention again. It will not only incur high container detention charges, but also delay the new product promotion plan at the end of the month. I want to ask, how should agency procurement of imported food be operated properly? ## Answers ### Answer 1 — Best Answer First of all，for pre-document review details，it is necessary to **focus on verifying the compliance of certificate of origin，health certificate and ingredient test report**: the certificate of origin must match the official seal format recognized by customs，the health certificate must clearly mark the production batch number，shelf life and importer country access number，the ingredient test report must cover all mandatory items of China's food safety standards，to avoid customs detention caused by non-compliant documents. Core node connection needs to run through the whole link of "agency procurement ordering - international logistics - customs declaration & inspection - domestic distribution": lock the cargo title when placing the agency procurement order，require suppliers to provide pre-shipment manifest information，and submit import declaration to customs 72 hours in advance，select carriers with food cold chain qualification in the logistics link，monitor temperature and humidity data throughout the whole process，to ensure the quality of chilled food. Targeted contingency plans need to be formulated: if customs inspection is arranged，prepare the power of attorney for sampling inspection and product description in advance，if there is a risk of port detention，immediately activate the **customs advance declaration and correction channel**，and coordinate with the freight forwarder to apply for an extension of the free storage period，if the supplier delays delivery，adjust the domestic shelving plan synchronously to reduce performance loss. Final compliant implementation requires the simultaneous completion of commodity inspection filing，label review and import record archiving，to ensure full-link traceability of each batch of food and meet the requirements of the newly revised *Regulations on the Administration of Registration of Overseas Production Enterprises of Imported Food* in 2026. **status:** accepted **Author:** Lucas Liu **Date:** 2026-09-05 ### Answer 2 In the customs declaration link of imported food agency procurement, we need to focus on valuation compliance: in 2026, customs adopts a progressive review of "transaction value method + deductive value method + computed value method" for imported food valuation. Supporting documents such as procurement contracts, payment slips and supplier cost details need to be prepared in advance. If the transaction value is 15% lower than the customs guiding price, a reasonable price explanation such as bulk purchase discount, long-term cooperation agreement, etc. should be provided, to avoid valuation disputes that lead to document deletion and re-declaration and delay customs clearance efficiency. At the same time, it should be noted that the dutiable value of food must include international freight, insurance premiums and miscellaneous expenses related to overseas transportation. It is strictly forbidden to underreport or conceal the value, otherwise you will face fines and credit rating downgrade. **status:** suggested **Author:** Jason Wu **Date:** 2026-09-05 ### Answer 3 In the logistics link of imported food agency procurement, priority should be given to locking the cargo title: select freight forwarders with food cold chain transportation qualification, transfer cargo title through "telex release bill of lading + named endorsement" to avoid the risk of delivery without original bill of lading; select direct voyage for chilled food. If transshipment is required, ensure that the transit port has low-temperature storage conditions and the whole-process temperature and humidity data is traceable; at the same time, confirm the free storage period and free container period of the import port in advance. Generally, the free storage period for food is 7 days. If an extension is needed, apply to the port 3 days before arrival to avoid high container detention fees and port detention fees. In addition, purchase cargo insurance synchronously to cover risks such as cargo damage, theft and port detention. **status:** suggested **Author:** Michael Zhang **Date:** 2026-09-05 ### Answer 4 Cost optimization of imported food agency procurement can rely on VAT deferral policy: in 2026, China implements deferred payment of value-added tax for qualified imported food, which needs to meet three conditions: the imported food has completed commodity inspection filing, the agency procurement enterprise has general taxpayer qualification, and a formal agency procurement agreement has been signed. It is not required to pay import VAT during customs clearance, and the payment can be deferred to the VAT declaration period, which revitalizes the enterprise's cash flow; meanwhile, enterprises can lock in the optimal foreign exchange purchase price through reasonably planning the timing of foreign exchange purchase and utilizing the two-way fluctuation range of RMB exchange rate, reducing exchange difference cost; in addition, if imported food meets the rules of origin, it can enjoy most-favored-nation tariff rate or free trade agreement tariff rate, further reducing tariff cost. **status:** suggested **Author:** Linda Gao **Date:** 2026-09-05 ### Answer 5 The payment and settlement link of imported food agency procurement must strictly comply with CIPS RMB cross-border payment specifications: in 2026, customs requires that the payment amount of imported food must be consistent with the transaction price on the customs declaration. Supporting documents such as agency procurement agreement, procurement contract and invoice need to be submitted through CIPS system in advance to ensure clear payment purpose; if it involves advance payment, it is necessary to register the advance payment with the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (SAFE) in advance, and the advance payment ratio shall not exceed 30% of the contract amount to avoid triggering foreign exchange compliance warning; meanwhile, payment and settlement vouchers shall be kept for no less than 5 years for subsequent verification by SAFE. If there is inconsistency between the payment amount and the customs declaration, a reasonable explanation shall be submitted within 15 days to avoid affecting the enterprise's foreign exchange classification level. **status:** suggested **Author:** Eric Zhou **Date:** 2026-09-05 ### Answer 6 When signing the contract for imported food agency procurement, we need to focus on cargo title and force majeure clauses: the agency procurement agreement shall clearly stipulate that "the cargo title shall be immediately transferred to the entrusting party after the supplier delivers the goods", to avoid the agent misappropriating the cargo title; the force majeure clause shall clearly cover common cross-border risks in 2026 such as epidemic, port strike and customs policy adjustment, and stipulate the responsibility division and stop-loss method after the occurrence of force majeure; meanwhile, an "intellectual property protection clause" shall be added, which clearly requires the supplier to ensure that the trademark and packaging of the imported food do not infringe any third party's intellectual property rights. If an infringement dispute occurs, the supplier shall bear all responsibilities; in addition, the agent's liability for breach of contract shall be stipulated. For example, if customs detention is caused by the agent's document review omission, the agent shall bear losses such as port detention fee and liquidated damages. **status:** suggested **Author:** Daniel Xu **Date:** 2026-09-05 ### Answer 7 The on-site inspection link of imported food agency procurement needs to be prepared in advance: in 2026, the inspection rate of imported chilled food by customs has increased to 35%. Paper documents such as product description, ingredient test report and certificate of origin need to be prepared in advance to facilitate the inspection by on-site customs officers; if devanning inspection is required, ensure that the temperature and humidity of chilled food meet the requirements to avoid product destruction caused by excessive temperature; if the customs officer requires sampling inspection, clearly mark the sampling quantity, batch and inspection institution on the sampling form, and track the inspection progress synchronously. If the inspection is unqualified, immediately start the return or destruction procedure to avoid additional storage costs; in addition, photos, videos and other evidences of the whole inspection process shall be kept for subsequent dispute handling. **status:** suggested **Author:** Andy Guo **Date:** 2026-09-05 ### Answer 8 The packaging of imported food agency procurement needs to comply with China's food safety and transportation specifications: chilled food shall use EPP buffer packaging with heat preservation function, and the heat preservation duration shall be no less than 72 hours. A temperature and humidity recorder shall be placed to monitor the temperature and humidity changes during the whole transportation process; organic food shall use degradable packaging, and the packaging shall be marked with the organic certification number recognized by China; if the imported food is liquid or fragile, UN standard buffer packaging shall be used to avoid leakage and damage during transportation; in addition, the Chinese label on the packaging shall comply with the requirements of *General Standard for the Labeling of Prepackaged Foods*, and the label review shall be completed in China in advance to avoid customs detention caused by non-compliant labels. **status:** suggested **Author:** Grace Wang **Date:** 2026-09-05 ### Answer 9 If imported food agency procurement involves subsequent re-export, it must strictly follow the compliance requirements of export tax refund: in 2026, customs requires that re-exported imported food must have complete documents such as import customs declaration, agency procurement agreement and warehouse outbound voucher to ensure "consistency of four flows"; tax refund pre-declaration shall be completed before export, and the compliance of vouchers such as import VAT payment certificate and tariff payment certificate shall be verified; if cross-month declaration occurs, a delayed declaration explanation shall be submitted within the declaration period to avoid affecting tax refund timeliness; in addition, all documents shall be kept for no less than 10 years for tax correspondence inspection. If abnormal situations such as capital backflow occur, a reasonable explanation shall be submitted immediately to avoid tax refund suspension. **status:** suggested **Author:** Kevin Lin **Date:** 2026-09-05 ### Answer 10 The supply chain planning of imported food agency procurement shall adopt the "small batch and multi-batch" inventory linkage strategy: in 2026, the market demand for imported food fluctuates greatly, and accurate procurement plans shall be formulated according to the supermarket's sales data to avoid inventory backlog; meanwhile, select agency procurement institutions with domestic distribution centers, store imported food in distribution centers close to sales terminals to shorten delivery timeliness; in addition, trade terms shall be selected reasonably. If FOB trade term is adopted, lock the international logistics price in advance to avoid logistics cost increase; if CIF trade term is adopted, clarify the supplier's insurance coverage to ensure full compensation in case of cargo damage; meanwhile, establish a supplier evaluation mechanism to evaluate suppliers' delivery timeliness, product quality and compliance every quarter, and optimize the supply chain structure. **status:** suggested **Author:** Victor Sun **Date:** 2026-09-05 ## Related Categories - [Export Agency Q&A](https://www.sh-zhongshen.com/en/qa/cat-export-agency/) - [Export Tax Rebate Q&A](https://www.sh-zhongshen.com/en/qa/cat-export-tax-rebate/) - [Customs Declaration Q&A](https://www.sh-zhongshen.com/en/qa/cat-customs-declaration/) - [Freight Forwarding Q&A](https://www.sh-zhongshen.com/en/qa/cat-freight-forwarding/) - [Forex Settlement Q&A](https://www.sh-zhongshen.com/en/qa/cat-forex-settlement/) - [Entrepôt Trade Q&A](https://www.sh-zhongshen.com/en/qa/cat-entrepot-trade/) - [General Trade Q&A](https://www.sh-zhongshen.com/en/qa/cat-general-trade/) ## Related Resources - [Trade Services](https://www.sh-zhongshen.com/en/services/) - [Trade Cases](https://www.sh-zhongshen.com/en/cases/) - [Trade Wiki](https://www.sh-zhongshen.com/en/wiki/) - [Trade Class](https://www.sh-zhongshen.com/en/guide/) - [Global Trade Services](https://www.sh-zhongshen.com/en/country/) ## Structured Data ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "QAPage", "inLanguage":"en", "isPartOf": { "@id":"https://www.sh-zhongshen.com/en/#website" }, "publisher":{ "@id":"https://www.sh-zhongshen.com/en/#organization" }, "mainEntity": { "@type": "Question", "name": "What Are the Core Control Points of Full-process Compliant Operation of Imported Food Agency Procurement?", "text": "I am a purchasing manager of a community chain supermarket focusing on imported premium products in Shanghai.
