# What Core Full-process Compliance Operating Points Should Be Mastered for Oil and Gas Transshipment Trade?

## Question

 I am a trader mainly engaged in importing oil and gas from the Middle East and transshipping it to Europe. Last month, a batch of 12,000 tons of diesel was detained by local customs during transshipment in Singapore due to document review omissions, with port detention fees costing nearly 20,000 US dollars per day. It took 18 days to resolve the issue. I not only lost money but also lost an old customer of 3 years of cooperation, and I still feel shaken thinking about it now. Recently I received another transshipment order for 20,000 tons of liquefied petroleum gas, I am afraid of making mistakes again, so I would like to ask: From document review, logistics connection, risk isolation to cost control, what should I do to avoid repeating the same mistakes, ensure the full process of transshipment trade is compliant and smooth, and reasonably reduce operating costs? 

## Answers
                            
### Answer 1 — Best Answer

First，accurate review of pre-documentation must be completed，focusing on verifying the **authenticity of the oil and gas certificate of origin**，the compliance of the transshipment certificate from the transit country，and the consistency between the MSDS report for dangerous goods transportation and the UN packaging certificate，to ensure that document information fully matches cargo parameters and trade terms，and avoid triggering customs control due to "soft discrepancies".

Connection of core nodes needs to focus on three key points: First，sign a **cargo title locking agreement** with the logistics service provider at the transit port，clarify that the cargo title during transit belongs exclusively to our party，and eliminate the risk of delivery without original bill of lading，Second，submit pre-declaration information to the transit port customs 72 hours in advance，and complete secondary verification of manifest data synchronously，Third，arrange dedicated personnel to follow up the real-time dynamics of ship berthing，loading/unloading and transit，ensure that the connection gap between each link does not exceed 48 hours，and reduce the probability of port detention.

Two types of contingency plans for abnormalities need to be formulated in advance: For customs detention，pre-prepare an emergency guarantee from a local compliant agent in the transit country，which can launch the bail procedure within 48 hours，For logistics delays，pre-lock backup dangerous gas storage tanks near the transit port to ensure temporary storage of cargo. Finally，by completing tax filing in the transit country and enjoying the VAT deferral policy，compliance is achieved while operating costs are reduced.

### Answer 2

For customs declaration of oil and gas transshipment trade, it is necessary to focus on the valuation rules of the transit country's customs, and avoid triggering valuation disputes because the declared price deviates from the local fair price. A complete set of price supporting materials such as pre-transit purchase contract, post-transit sales contract, and logistics expense vouchers shall be prepared in advance to ensure a closed logical loop of price composition.

If a valuation challenge is encountered, an oil and gas fair price report issued by a third-party institution in the transit country shall be submitted within 3 working days, and an application for integrated customs clearance pre-audit shall be submitted at the same time, to avoid port detention caused by valuation delay. In addition, it should be noted that the remark column of the customs declaration for transshipped cargo must clearly mark the words "transshipment trade", and the cargo description on the manifest, bill of lading and customs declaration must be completely consistent, to eliminate logical contradictions.

### Answer 3

For the logistics route of oil and gas transshipment trade, ports with dangerous goods transit qualification shall be prioritized, such as Jurong Port in Singapore and Rotterdam Port in the Netherlands. At the same time, it is necessary to verify the dangerous goods storage tank capacity and loading/unloading efficiency of the port, to avoid port detention caused by insufficient tank capacity. In terms of cargo title control, an order bill of lading shall be used, and it shall be clearly specified in the endorsement link that only the designated consignee is allowed to endorse for pickup, and blank endorsement is prohibited.

If a port change is required, a port change application shall be submitted to the shipping company 72 hours in advance, and the pre-declaration information with the transit country's customs shall be updated synchronously, to avoid customs detention caused by inconsistent manifest data. In addition, a detention fee reduction agreement shall be signed with the logistics service provider, to ensure that a maximum of 5 days of free storage period can be applied for in case of transit delay.

### Answer 4

Oil and gas transshipment trade can enjoy the VAT deferral policy by establishing an offshore trade platform in the transit country, there is no need to pay import VAT in the transit country, and only need to complete VAT payment in the final destination country, which can effectively activate cash flow. In addition, it is necessary to reasonably plan cross-border related party transaction pricing, ensure that the price meets the requirements of the BEPS action plan, and avoid triggering tax investigation due to transfer pricing.

If the transit country has signed a tax treaty with China, you can apply for withholding tax reduction, you need to prepare supporting materials such as tax resident certificate and transaction contract in advance, and complete filing with the tax authority of the transit country. At the same time, the complete set of tax vouchers shall be retained for at least 7 years for inspection by tax authorities.

### Answer 5

Payment and settlement for oil and gas transshipment trade shall be processed through the CIPS system for cross-border RMB payment, to avoid fund freezing caused by SWIFT message parsing errors. The qualification of the counterparty shall be verified before payment and settlement, to ensure that it holds a legal business license for oil and gas trade, and the words "payment for oil and gas transshipment trade" shall be clearly marked in the remittance remark column, to ensure that capital flow is consistent with cargo flow and document flow.

If an offshore account is used for payment and settlement, the income and expenditure details of the offshore account shall be filed every month, to avoid account freezing by the bank due to abnormal activity. In addition, it is necessary to lock the foreign exchange purchase rate in advance, hedge exchange rate fluctuation risk through forward foreign exchange settlement and sale tools, and reduce capital cost.

### Answer 6

For oil and gas transshipment trade, the scope of force majeure clause shall be clearly defined in the contract, including port strikes, oil price fluctuations, customs policy adjustments, etc., and the division of responsibilities and loss sharing proportion of both parties shall be agreed if cargo delay is caused by force majeure.

The logistics service provider shall be required to issue a cargo title guarantee, to ensure that the cargo title is not claimed by any third party during transit, and if delivery without original bill of lading occurs, the service provider shall bear full compensation for the loss. In addition, pre-investigation on the legal risks of the transit country shall be conducted, if cross-border arbitration is involved, it shall be agreed to apply the law of China or the arbitration rules of the International Chamber of Commerce, to avoid damage to rights and interests caused by application of unfamiliar laws.

### Answer 7

For on-site inspection of oil and gas transshipment trade, the dangerous goods classification identification report of the cargo and seal authenticity verification tools shall be prepared in advance, to cooperate with customs to complete devanning inspection. If abnormal result is found in machine inspection, an oil and gas component test report issued by a third-party institution shall be submitted within 24 hours to prove that the cargo matches the declared information.

It should be noted that the seal number must fully match the number on the bill of lading and customs declaration. If the seal is damaged, it is necessary to take photos for evidence immediately, apply to customs for re-sealing, and notify the consignee synchronously. In addition, it is necessary to communicate with the inspection agent at the transit port in advance, understand the inspection process and key focus of the local customs, and make preparations in advance.

### Answer 8

The packaging of oil and gas transshipment trade must strictly comply with UN dangerous goods packaging standards, select the corresponding packaging container according to the dangerous goods category of the oil and gas. For example, liquefied petroleum gas shall be packed in pressure vessels, and the air tightness of the packaging shall meet the requirements.

An MSDS report that meets the requirements of the transit country shall be prepared in advance, clarifying the dangerous characteristics of the cargo, emergency disposal methods and other information, and the report shall be issued by a third-party institution recognized by the transit country. In addition, clear dangerous goods marks, transportation numbers, origin marks, etc. shall be marked outside the packaging, to avoid triggering customs control due to unclear marking. If the packaging is damaged during transportation, spare packaging shall be arranged at the transit port in advance to ensure timely replacement.

### Answer 9

If oil and gas transshipment trade involves domestic export links, it is necessary to ensure the consistency of four flows, that is, contract flow, cargo flow, capital flow and invoice flow are fully matched, to avoid triggering tax correspondence investigation due to inconsistent four flows. Export tax refund pre-declaration shall be completed within 30 days after export, and filing documents such as export customs declaration, purchase invoice, and logistics vouchers shall be prepared in advance to ensure consistency of document information.

If tax correspondence investigation is encountered, complete transaction supporting materials shall be submitted within 10 working days, including transshipment contract, transit certificate, final sales contract, etc. In addition, tax refund filing documents shall be retained for at least 10 years for inspection by tax authorities.

### Answer 10

For supply chain planning of oil and gas transshipment trade, an inventory linkage strategy shall be adopted, lock dangerous goods storage tanks at the transit port in advance according to the demand forecast of the final destination country, to ensure timely transit of cargo. It is necessary to flexibly switch between CIF and FOB trade terms, if the logistics cost of the transit port is high, FOB term can be adopted with the consignee responsible for transit logistics, to reduce operating costs.

In addition, it is necessary to establish a cost actuarial model, comprehensively consider logistics cost, tax cost, capital cost and other factors, and select the optimal transit country and logistics route. At the same time, long-term cooperation agreements shall be signed with upstream and downstream suppliers, to strive for more favorable purchase prices and logistics costs, and increase profit margins.
