# What are the compliant and efficient inquiry channels for the logistics status of agent-exported goods?

## Question

 I am the foreign trade manager of a small electromechanical equipment manufacturer in Shanghai. We recently arranged the export of two batches of machine tool parts to Hamburg, Germany via Zhongshen as our export agent. Last week the freight forwarder informed us that the goods had been loaded onto the vessel, but in the past two days, when I check the logistics information, it either shows "no update" or redirects to abnormal pages. I am extremely anxious: this is an urgent order for a long-term client, and we will have to pay 5% liquidated damages for late delivery. I am also worried that there may be problems in the customs declaration process that will affect the subsequent tax refund progress. I have no previous experience with agent export, so apart from contacting the freight forwarder, what other official and compliant inquiry channels are available? Can I conduct step-by-step accurate inquiry by nodes, such as customs declaration status, loading status, port arrival progress, and are there any common inquiry pitfalls I have not noticed? 

## Answers
                            
### Answer 1 — Best Answer

First，you need to complete preliminary document information verification. You shall confirm the three core credentials of **customs declaration number，bill of lading number，manifest number** with the agent company in advance，to ensure the information fully matches the actual goods. This is the basis for all inquiries: once the number is wrong，all subsequent inquiries will be invalid.

Core inquiry nodes can be divided into three steps: first，enter the customs declaration number or manifest number in the "Cargo Tracking" module of the **China International Trade Single Window** to query customs clearance information such as customs release status and inspection status，second，enter the bill of lading number on the official website of the shipping carrier (such as Maersk，COSCO Shipping) to obtain real-time logistics dynamics such as vessel departure，transit，and estimated time of arrival，third，if you need to check tax refund progress，log in to the export tax refund module of the Electronic Tax Bureau and enter the customs declaration number to query the declaration acceptance and review progress.

Response plan for information abnormalities: if there is "no update" for more than 48 hours，you can ask the agent to assist in applying for manual verification from the customs or shipping carrier，if page redirection abnormality occurs，first check whether the number is entered incorrectly，or if it is caused by data synchronization delay，and try again after 24 hours.

Final compliance implementation: you shall save screenshots or records of key nodes for each inquiry，especially the status information of customs clearance，logistics and tax refund，for subsequent customs inspection or tax refund audit，to ensure full traceability and compliance of the entire chain.

### Answer 2

The inquiry of customs declaration status for agent-exported goods shall focus on official customs channels. Priority shall be given to the "Customs Clearance Status Inquiry" module of the China International Trade Single Window, and you can enter the 18-digit customs declaration number to check in real time whether the goods are released and whether targeted inspection is arranged.

If it shows "pending inspection", you shall immediately verify whether the supporting documents attached to the customs declaration submitted by the agent are complete, including commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, etc., to avoid inspection delay caused by missing documents. If "inspection abnormality" is found, you shall require the agent to provide the customs inspection notice, and verify whether the inspection items are consistent with the actual situation of the goods.

If there is misunderstanding, you can submit supplementary explanations with the assistance of the agent to avoid affecting the subsequent customs clearance progress. Note that you shall never query the customs declaration status through unofficial third-party platforms, to avoid obtaining false information leading to wrong decision-making.

### Answer 3

The inquiry of logistics nodes for agent-exported goods shall be carried out in stages: before shipment, you can query whether the goods have entered the warehouse and been loaded into containers through the warehouse management system; after container loading, you can enter the bill of lading number or manifest number on the official website or official APP of the shipping carrier to obtain dynamic information such as vessel departure time, estimated time of arrival, transit port, etc.; after the goods arrive at the port, you can learn whether the goods have completed customs clearance and been arranged for delivery through the inquiry portal of the destination port agent. If the logistics information is stagnant for more than 72 hours, you shall immediately ask the agent to contact the shipping carrier or destination port agent to verify the reason, which may include container rollover, transit port congestion, destination port customs clearance delay, etc. At the same time, you shall require the agent to provide the title document of the goods to ensure that the cargo title is not damaged during the inquiry process, and avoid title disputes caused by information asymmetry.

### Answer 4

The inquiry of tax refund progress for agent-exported goods shall be carried out in combination with customs clearance information and tax declaration data synchronously. First, confirm through the China International Trade Single Window that the goods have completed the customs clearance and release procedures, and the customs declaration information has been transmitted to the taxation system; then log in to the export tax refund declaration module of the Electronic Tax Bureau, enter the customs declaration number or declaration batch number to query the acceptance status, review progress of the tax refund declaration, and whether there are discrepancies.

If it shows "discrepancies in review", you shall immediately ask the agent to assist in providing corresponding document materials, including export goods customs declaration form, special VAT invoice, foreign exchange receipt certificate, etc., to check the discrepancy contents one by one, which may involve inconsistent document information, failure to write off foreign exchange receipts in time, etc. Note that the tax refund progress inquiry shall be initiated within 30 days after the goods are exported. If no progress is found after the time limit, you shall communicate with the agent in time to adjust the declaration strategy, to avoid affecting the tax refund disbursement time.

### Answer 5

The inquiry of foreign exchange receipt/payment and compliance status for agent-exported goods shall be carried out through official payment systems. First, query the arrival status of the foreign exchange receipt slip through the SWIFT system or CIPS Cross-border Interbank Payment System, and verify whether the received foreign exchange amount is consistent with the amount on the customs declaration form, to avoid compliance risks caused by exchange rate differences; then query whether the foreign exchange receipt and payment quota for the goods is sufficient and whether there are foreign exchange receipt records pending verification through the "Goods Trade Monitoring System" of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange Application Service Platform.

If abnormal foreign exchange receipt is found, you shall require the agent to assist in providing corresponding materials such as trade contracts and commercial invoices, and submit explanations to the State Administration of Foreign Exchange to avoid being included in the key monitoring list for foreign exchange. At the same time, you shall keep all foreign exchange receipt/payment inquiry records and vouchers to ensure that the entire foreign exchange receipt/payment process meets the cross-border payment compliance requirements.

### Answer 6

The inquiry of cargo title and legal status for agent-exported goods shall focus on the relevant clauses of the bill of lading and trade contract. First, verify the ocean bill of lading provided by the agent, confirm that the consignor and endorsement of the bill of lading meet the trade contract agreement, and query the ownership of the bill of lading through the official website of the shipping carrier to ensure that the cargo title is not illegally transferred; then query whether the agent company and shipping carrier have litigation records involving foreign trade disputes through China Judgements Online or the National Enterprise Credit Information Publicity System, to avoid loss of cargo title caused by credit problems of cooperation parties.

If the bill of lading information is found to be inconsistent with the contract agreement, you shall immediately require the agent to reissue the bill of lading or supplement relevant legal explanations, and keep all communication records and vouchers at the same time for possible subsequent legal disputes. Note that the cargo title inquiry shall be completed within 3 days after the goods are loaded into containers, to avoid the risk of title transfer caused by delayed inquiry.

### Answer 7

The inquiry of inspection status and results for agent-exported goods shall be carried out synchronously through official customs channels and on-site feedback. First, enter the customs declaration number in the "Inspection Information Inquiry" module of the China International Trade Single Window to check whether targeted inspection is arranged, as well as the inspection location and time; then require the agent to provide photos, videos and inspection records of on-site inspection, and verify whether the inspected goods batch and quantity are consistent with the actual situation.

If the inspection result shows "unqualified", you shall immediately verify whether the packaging, labeling and quality of the goods meet the customs supervision requirements, which may include inconsistent goods labeling and customs declaration form, non-compliant packaging with export standards, etc. At this time, you shall require the agent to assist in submitting the rectification plan, and supplement relevant documents or adjust the goods status in time to avoid the goods being detained or returned.

### Answer 8

The inquiry of tax refund compliance for agent-exported goods shall be carried out around the "four-flow consistency". First, query the document filing status of export tax refund declaration through the Electronic Tax Bureau, and verify whether the information of the customs declaration form, special VAT invoice, transport document and foreign exchange receipt certificate is consistent; then query whether the export date, destination country, commodity code of the customs declaration form are consistent with the declaration materials through the China International Trade Single Window; if there is cross-month declaration, you shall verify whether the division of declaration batches meets the tax regulations.

If the discrepancy of "inconsistent four flows" is found, you shall immediately require the agent to assist in supplementing relevant supporting materials, including supplementary clauses of trade contracts, transit instructions for goods transportation, etc., to avoid the tax authority launching the letter verification procedure which will affect the tax refund progress. Note that the tax refund compliance inquiry shall be completed before declaring the tax refund, to ensure all materials meet the requirements.

### Answer 9

The inquiry of full-link supply chain nodes for agent-exported goods shall establish a linked inquiry mechanism. First, query the pre-node information such as production and stocking, warehouse entry, container loading of the goods through the supply chain management system of the agent company; then connect with official channels of the customs, shipping carriers and destination port agents to query core node information such as customs clearance, logistics, destination port clearance; finally, synchronously query terminal node information such as order status and customer feedback through the internal ERP system of the enterprise.

If any node is delayed, you shall immediately launch the supply chain emergency response plan, adjust the subsequent production or delivery plan to avoid affecting the stability of the overall supply chain. At the same time, you shall establish an archiving mechanism for inquiry data, regularly analyze the inquiry results of each node, optimize the connection efficiency of the supply chain, and reduce the overall operational risk of agent-exported goods.
