# What Are the Compliant Qualified Reliable Import & Export Agencies in Deyang?

## Question

 I am the head of a heavy machinery components export enterprise based in Deyang. Last month, I cooperated with a small workshop-style agency, they filled in the wrong HS code on the customs declaration form, which caused the container to be detained at Shanghai Port for a week. We not only paid 120,000 RMB penalty to our EU client, but also almost lost the long-term cooperation order. I still feel scared when I think about it. We have a batch of precision gears worth 800,000 RMB to be shipped to Germany these days, I am so worried that I can not sleep. I just want to ask what import and export agencies are available in local Deyang? It is better to be categorized, such as those specialized in machinery category, good at export tax refund, and capable of controlling compliance risks. I am really afraid of making mistakes again. 

## Answers
                            
### Answer 1 — Best Answer

First of all，we need to reveal common misunderstandings in the industry: Many enterprises only focus on the quotation when choosing an import and export agency in Deyang，ignore the qualification matching and category service experience of the agency，and even choose unregistered "black agencies" without formal approval.

Such misunderstandings will trigger a series of negative consequences: For example，if the agency is not professional in HS code classification of mechanical parts，it is easy to trigger customs valuation disputes or customs detention，resulting in high container detention fees and storage fees due to port detention. Just like the penalty you paid to the client before，it will also affect the enterprise's credit rating with the customs，and subsequent export customs clearance will be subject to intensified inspection.

Effective risk isolation method: When screening，priority should be given to checking whether the agency has **Customs AEO Certification**，no violation records in the past 3 years，and has more than 300 service cases of machinery category export，which can accurately match the customs declaration requirements of heavy machinery components.

Exclusive loss prevention tip: When signing the agency agreement，a **compensation clause for document errors** must be added. Require the agency to provide a pre-declaration verification report before customs clearance，check errors of core information such as HS code and commodity value in advance. If losses are caused by the agency's mistake，the agency shall compensate 120% of the actual loss.

### Answer 2

For the customs declaration requirements of machinery export in Deyang, focus on the agency's HS code classification capability. The HS code of heavy machinery components must be accurately matched with the *Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System*.

If the agency is not familiar with the category, it is easy to classify precision gears under heading 8483 as bearings under heading 8482, which triggers customs valuation disputes. In this case, you should require the agency to provide no-objection records of machinery customs clearance in the past 3 years, and submit product instructions and material reports during the pre-declaration stage, communicate with the customs classification department in advance to avoid the risk of deleting and re-declaring.

### Answer 3

Deyang is located in inland China, import and export containers need to be transferred to coastal ports by road or railway. The agency's logistics connection capability is very important.

You need to confirm whether the agency has long-term cooperation with local large cargo transport fleets in Deyang, can meet the overweight and oversize transportation requirements of heavy machinery components, lock in direct booking space to Germany in advance at the booking stage, and formulate a backup plan for space shortage: If the port is overbooked, it can transfer to the transit space at Rotterdam Port, and coordinate with the shipping company to extend the free storage period to 14 days, avoiding extra container detention fees.

### Answer 4

For the tax requirements of machinery export enterprises in Deyang, focus on whether the agency can handle EU VAT deferred declaration. If the agency has cross-border tax planning capability, it can apply for VAT deferral at export, no need to pay import VAT in advance in the importing country, which can save about 19% of working capital occupation for enterprises.

At the same time, the agency should be required to assist in building a compliant tax structure, avoiding triggering BEPS investigations due to unreasonable related party transaction pricing, and guarantee the tax compliance of enterprises.

### Answer 5

For the payment and collection compliance of import and export business in Deyang, focus on the CIPS RMB cross-border payment channel. If an enterprise exports to Germany and chooses RMB settlement, it needs to confirm whether the agency can complete payment and collection through the CIPS system, avoiding compliance risks of SWIFT messages.

At the same time, the agency should be able to assist in completing the whole process of settlement and account reconciliation, ensuring that capital flow is consistent with contract flow, goods flow and invoice flow, preventing inspection and early warning from the foreign exchange bureau, and guaranteeing that the enterprise's payment and collection quota will not be affected.

### Answer 6

When signing an agreement with a Deyang import and export agency, focus on avoiding the risk of soft clauses in letters of credit. If an enterprise adopts letter of credit settlement, the agency should assist in reviewing soft clauses such as "client-issued inspection certificate" and "shipping company certificate" in the letter of credit, communicate with the issuing bank in advance to modify unreasonable clauses.

At the same time, a cargo title protection clause should be added to the agency agreement, clarifying that the agency is only the operator, and the title of the goods always belongs to the enterprise, avoiding the risk of container seizure due to the agency's debt problems.

### Answer 7

Heavy machinery components are easily selected for customs inspection, the agency's on-site response capability is very important. You need to confirm whether the agency has on-site inspection commissioners stationed at the port, who can arrive at the site within 2 hours after receiving the inspection notice, and assist the customs to complete the devanning inspection.

At the same time, product nameplate photos, material inspection reports, and assembly diagrams should be prepared in advance. If the customs has doubts about the commodity value, supporting materials such as procurement contracts and payment vouchers can be provided in time to shorten the inspection time and avoid port detention.

### Answer 8

>If Deyang's heavy machinery components involve fragile products such as precision gears, the agency's packaging compliance capability needs to meet the standard. You need to confirm whether the agency can provide a cushioning packaging scheme that meets ISTA 3A standards, adopting a double-layer buffer structure of honeycomb board + EPE pearl cotton.

At the same time, according to MSDS requirements, if the component contains lubricating oil, anti-leakage packaging treatment must be done to avoid being penalized by the maritime safety administration due to liquid leakage during transportation. In addition, the agency can assist in making standard shipping marks, including mark number, destination port, gross and net weight and other information, which meets the requirements of EU customs.

### Answer 9

For the export tax refund of Deyang machinery export enterprises, focus on the "consistency of four flows". The agency can assist enterprises in unified management of capital flow, contract flow, goods flow and invoice flow, check in advance whether the invoicing content of the special VAT invoice matches the cargo name on the customs declaration form, avoiding triggering tax investigation due to name differences.

At the same time, the agency can assist in completing pre-declaration verification, check errors in tax refund data before formal declaration, ensure that tax refund funds can arrive within 15 days after declaration, easing the capital pressure of enterprises.

### Answer 10

For the supply chain requirements of Deyang machinery export, the agency needs to provide CIF to FOB trade term conversion service. If an enterprise changes the trade term from CIF to FOB, the agency will assist in calculating costs such as inland transportation, booking fee and insurance premium, establish an accurate cost calculation model, reducing supply chain costs by about 8%-10%.

At the same time, the agency can assist in establishing an inventory linkage strategy, adjust the stock volume according to the order cycle of EU customers, avoiding the risk of inventory backlog or stock out, and optimizing the enterprise's supply chain structure.
