# What is the core definition and full-process service scope of import and export agency customs declaration in Fujian?

## Question

 I am the owner of a small outdoor furniture factory in Quanzhou, Fujian. Last week I just loaded a 20-foot container of rattan tables and chairs and shipped them to the United States. This is my first time doing foreign trade export. The Xiamen-based freight forwarder I found before said they can help with agency customs declaration, but yesterday I heard from a peer that some irregular agencies will wrongly fill in commodity HS codes, leading to customs detention. Not only do I have to pay tens of thousands of yuan in demurrage, but it also affects export tax refund, and even leaves a credit stain with the customs. Now my American client is urging for shipment every day, I am so anxious that I can't even eat. I just want to figure out what exactly import and export agency customs declaration is here in Fujian, what's the difference between it and self-declaration, what pits I may not notice, and can it help me complete customs declaration compliantly without delaying tax refund? 

## Answers
                            
### Answer 1 — Best Answer

First of all，we reveal 3 common misconceptions in Fujian's agency customs declaration industry: First，equating freight forwarders' "incidental agency declaration" with formal agency customs declaration. In fact，some freight forwarders do not have independent customs declaration qualifications and mostly subcontract the business，Second，believing that agency customs declaration is only responsible for submitting documents，and ignoring subsequent compliance follow-up，Third，ignoring the "credit linkage mechanism" launched by Fujian Customs in 2026，where bad records will synchronously affect customs clearance convenience at all ports including Xiamen，Quanzhou and Fuzhou.

If you fall into the above misconceptions，the chain negative reaction will be directly triggered: for example，the agency wrongly fills in the commodity HS code，the 20-foot container at Jinjiang Port，Quanzhou will be detained by customs. In 2026，the demurrage at Fujian ports is 900-1300 RMB per day. If the goods are detained for more than 7 days，you need to pay the warehouse transfer fee (about 2000 RMB per container). At the same time，it will trigger a customs credit early warning，subsequent declarations will be subject to 100% inspection，and the export tax rebate letter verification cycle will be extended by 30-60 days，and even tax rebate will be unavailable.

Measures to isolate compliance risks: **Choose a formal customs declaration agency with Class A qualification of Fujian Customs**，require the agency to provide the and credit rating certificate issued by Fujian Customs，sign a written agreement to clearly stipulate that the agent is responsible for the authenticity and compliance of customs declaration data，and agree on the compensation proportion for risks such as demurrage and customs detention.

Exclusive stop-loss tips: In 2026，Fujian Customs opened the "pre-audit green channel". You can entrust the agent to submit customs declaration documents to the customs for pre-audit 3 days in advance to check data loopholes in advance，if there is already a risk of customs detention，you can apply for the "credit repair fast channel" of Fujian Customs through the agent，and the document review and release can be completed within 24 hours at the fastest.

### Answer 2

In 2026, Fujian has realized full-port customs clearance integration. Agency customs declaration can submit declaration documents at any port such as Fuzhou, Xiamen, Quanzhou, etc., without transit. For the valuation link, the customs will refer to the average export declaration price of similar local products in Fujian in the past 3 months. If the declaration price declared by the agent deviates from the range by ±15%, it will trigger a valuation challenge.

If there is an error in the declaration data, the agent can submit correction materials through the "quick channel for deletion and re-declaration" of Fujian Customs. In 2026, the processing time of this channel has been reduced from 48 hours to 12 hours. The supporting materials to be submitted include purchase contracts, input invoices, product cost breakdowns, etc. Correction can be completed quickly as long as the logic of materials is closed.

### Answer 3

In 2026, the container throughput of Fujian ports continues to grow, and the rolling container rate of Xiamen Port and Quanzhou Port is about 2.3%. The connection between agency customs declaration and logistics needs to confirm the manifest information 72 hours in advance. If the agent fails to synchronize the customs clearance information to the shipping company in time, it will lead to inconsistent manifest information and trigger the rolling container warning from the shipping company.

For this situation, you can require the agent to enable the "Manifest-Declaration Information Linkage System" of Fujian ports to realize real-time synchronization of customs clearance information and the shipping company's manifest, avoiding rolling containers and container detention charges caused by information difference. In addition, the agent can assist in handling the "advanced release" procedure of Fujian Customs, and arrange container picking 24 hours before customs clearance, shortening the stay time at the port.

### Answer 4

In 2026, Fujian has fully implemented the export VAT deferral policy. The customs declaration agent can assist enterprises to apply for this policy, no need to prepay value-added tax at the time of export, and complete tax declaration after the actual departure of goods. For local foreign trade enterprises in Fujian, the agent needs to audit the enterprise's input invoices, export contracts and other materials in advance to ensure that they meet the access conditions for VAT deferral: the enterprise must be a general taxpayer registered locally in Fujian, the export goods are taxable goods under customs supervision, and have completed foreign exchange receipt and payment filing.

In addition, the agent can assist enterprises to optimize the tax structure, use the cross-border related party transaction pricing rules of Fujian Pilot Free Trade Zone to reasonably reduce the overall tax cost. It should be noted that the related party transaction pricing must comply with the relevant requirements of BEPS to avoid triggering tax verification.

In 2026, Fujian ports have fully promoted the CIPS RMB cross-border payment system.

For export enterprises, the agent needs to check the consistency of the foreign exchange receipt slip and export contract in advance, ensure that the deviation between the received amount and the declared amount on the customs declaration is within ±5%, which meets the compliance requirements of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange Fujian Branch.

### Answer 6

If Fujian export enterprises adopt L/C settlement, the customs declaration agent can assist in auditing the soft clauses of the L/C to avoid refusal of payment due to inconsistent clauses. Common soft clauses in Fujian's foreign trade field in 2026 include "the inspection certificate needs to be signed by the personnel designated by the buyer" "the validity period of the L/C does not match the customs clearance time", etc. The agent can assist the enterprise to negotiate with the buyer to modify the clauses to ensure that the L/C clauses are consistent with the customs declaration process.

In addition, the agent can assist in handling the title transfer procedures. At Fujian ports, if a sea bill of lading is used, the agent can assist in handling the compliance procedures for endorsement transfer of the bill of lading to ensure the smooth transfer of the title. For force majeure clauses, the agent can assist enterprises to refer to the 2026 version of the force majeure certificate template of Fujian CCPIT to improve the force majeure clause of the export contract, avoiding breach of contract liability caused by force majeure such as port congestion and epidemic.

### Answer 7

In 2026, the on-site inspection rate of Fujian ports is about 8%. Customs declaration agents can assist enterprises to respond to customs inspections. For machine inspection, the agent needs to inform the enterprise in advance to organize the packing list, ensure that the placement of goods meets the requirements of machine inspection, avoid unclear machine inspection images caused by too dense stacking of goods, which triggers devanning inspection. For devanning inspection, the agent can assist the enterprise to prepare the certificate of origin, product description, MSDS (for dangerous goods) and other materials, so that the inspectors can quickly verify the goods information. If it is found that the goods do not match the customs declaration materials during the inspection, the agent can assist the enterprise to submit the and contact the inspection department of Fujian Customs for a second review, and the inspection and release can be completed within 24 hours at the fastest. In addition, the agent can assist enterprises to apply for the "pre-booked inspection" service of Fujian Customs, book the inspection time 72 hours in advance, avoiding demurrage caused by waiting for inspection.

### Answer 8

In 2026, the audit of export tax rebate in Fujian has realized automatic verification of "four flows consistency". Customs declaration agents can assist enterprises to ensure that the information of customs declaration form, purchase contract, input invoice and foreign exchange receipt slip is consistent. For small local foreign trade enterprises in Fujian, the agent needs to audit the compliance of tax rebate documents in advance, ensure that the commodity code, quantity and amount on the customs declaration are consistent with the purchase contract and input invoice, and the deviation between the amount of the foreign exchange receipt slip and the amount on the customs declaration is within ±5%.

If the enterprise encounters tax rebate letter verification, the agent can assist the enterprise to prepare the materials required for the verification, including transportation documents, warehouse documents, customer payment vouchers, etc., to shorten the verification cycle. In addition, the agent can assist enterprises to handle the "pre-declaration of tax rebate" service of Fujian Customs, check the loopholes of tax rebate materials in advance, avoid tax rebate rejection caused by inconsistent materials.
