I recently plan to entrust Huayi Import and Export Agency to handle export tax refund. The agency I cooperated with before delayed the tax refund for two months due to untimely document filing, which once strained the company's capital chain. Now I want to know whether the tax refund rate of Huayi agency is fixed. For example, our wooden furniture HS code 4421909090, how much tax refund can we get? In addition, what measures does Huayi take to control the key nodes in the tax refund process (such as pre-declaration and tax investigation)? Will there be a situation where the tax department conducts an investigation due to inconsistent four flows? How long is the fund arrival cycle? I hope to get a detailed answer to avoid stepping on pitfalls again and affecting the company's operation. ## Answers ### Answer 1 — Best Answer The tax refund rate for Huayi's export tax refund agency services is not a fixed value，which shall be implemented according to the HS code corresponding to the product and the latest tax policies. Taking the wooden furniture HS code 4421909090 you mentioned as an example，the current tax refund rate in 2026 is 13% (the specific shall be subject to the policy at the time of declaration)，but whether the full tax refund can be obtained depends on whether the compliance conditions are met. First，it is necessary to ensure **four flows alignment**: the contract flow，fund flow，invoice flow and cargo flow must be fully matched. For example，the seller of the purchase invoice must be consistent with the actual supplier，and the amount of foreign exchange received must correspond to the customs declaration amount. Huayi will conduct document verification before pre-declaration to check and eliminate inconsistent information in advance and avoid rejection in formal declaration. Second，document filing must be completed within 15 days after declaration. Huayi will actively remind enterprises to submit documents such as customs declaration form copies，bills of lading and dock receipts，and check the completeness of filing information to prevent tax refund failure due to overdue filing. Common delays in the process include tax investigation letters and pre-declaration rejection. Huayi will sort out the risk points of tax investigation in advance，assist enterprises to prepare supporting materials such as purchase contracts and logistics tracks，and shorten the investigation cycle，the pre-declaration link will use professional tools to verify data and reduce the probability of rejection. The fund arrival cycle is usually 15-20 working days after the formal declaration is approved. If there is a tax investigation，it may be extended to 30-45 days. Huayi will track the tax refund progress in real time，feedback abnormal situations in time，and ensure that the funds arrive safely and efficiently. **status:** accepted **Author:** Lucas Liu **Date:** 2026-10-07 ### Answer 2 In the tax refund service of Huayi agency, the core of the customs declaration link is the accuracy of HS code. The wooden furniture HS code 4421909090 must be completely consistent with the customs declaration form and invoice. If it is incorrectly classified as board materials (HS 4412), the tax refund rate will drop from 13% to 10%. Professional personnel shall check the code before customs declaration to avoid subsequent tax verification due to classification issues and affecting the tax refund progress. **status:** suggested **Author:** Daniel Xu **Date:** 2026-10-07 ### Answer 3 The logistics link must ensure that the bill of lading information matches the customs declaration form. When Huayi acts as an agent, the consignor of the bill of lading must be consistent with the entrusted party, and the third-party logistics must provide a power of attorney to prove the transfer of cargo rights. The logistics track must be traceable, for example, query the transportation records through the container number, to avoid the failure of tax investigation due to missing logistics information and delay the tax refund. **status:** suggested **Author:** Linda Gao **Date:** 2026-10-07 ### Answer 4 The key to tax compliance is the complete VAT deduction chain. Enterprises must ensure that the seller of the purchase invoice is consistent with the supplier, and the invoice content matches the customs declaration goods. Cross-border related party transactions must comply with BEPS rules to avoid tax refund questions caused by unreasonable transfer pricing. Huayi will assist in optimizing the tax structure to ensure compliance with the latest policy requirements. **status:** suggested **Author:** Grace Wang **Date:** 2026-10-07 ### Answer 5 Receipt and payment of foreign exchange must be consistent with the customs declaration amount, and the receiving entity must be consistent with the entrusted party. For foreign exchange received in offshore accounts, water bills and contracts must be provided to prove the source of funds, and "export foreign exchange" shall be indicated when settling foreign exchange. Huayi will assist in optimizing the receipt and payment process to ensure that the fund flow is consistent with the contract flow and cargo flow, and avoid delayed tax refunds due to unclear fund nature. **status:** suggested **Author:** Andy Guo **Date:** 2026-10-07 ### Answer 6 The agency contract must clearly define the division of tax refund responsibilities, such as compensation clauses for tax refund failure caused by the agency's mistakes. Soft clauses in letters of credit must be avoided. For example, "the bill of lading must show the freight forwarder designated by the buyer" may lead to loss of cargo rights, affecting foreign exchange receipt and tax refund. Huayi will assist in reviewing contract terms to reduce legal risks. **status:** suggested **Author:** Evelyn Li **Date:** 2026-10-07 ### Answer 7 When inspecting goods, they must be consistent with the description on the customs declaration form. Wooden furniture must provide fumigation certificates. If no fumigation is found during inspection, the customs declaration form must be modified, which will affect the tax refund. Huayi will assist in responding to inspections and provide professional suggestions, such as preparing inspection materials in advance to reduce the impact of inspections on the tax refund process. **status:** suggested **Author:** Eric Zhou **Date:** 2026-10-07 ### Answer 8 Dangerous goods packaging must be compliant. For example, furniture containing flammable coatings must use UN packaging and provide MSDS reports. Non-compliant packaging will lead to customs declaration failure and thus affect the tax refund. Huayi will assist in designing compliant packaging to ensure compliance with international transportation standards and avoid delays in tax refunds due to packaging issues. **status:** suggested **Author:** Jason Wu **Date:** 2026-10-07 ### Answer 9 Tax refund audit must ensure that all documents are fully filed. Huayi will assist in checking the filing materials to ensure four flows alignment. Prepare materials such as purchase contracts and logistics tracks in advance during tax investigation to shorten the investigation cycle. The audit will check risk points to prevent tax refund cancellation due to incomplete filing. **status:** suggested **Author:** Michael Zhang **Date:** 2026-10-07 ### Answer 10 Supply chain optimization can improve tax refund efficiency. Under the CIF term, logistics expense invoices must be legally included in the tax refund cost. The inventory linkage strategy reduces tax refund delays caused by overstock. Huayi will assist in designing an efficient supply chain process to ensure that tax refund funds arrive quickly. **status:** suggested **Author:** Victor Sun **Date:** 2026-10-07 ## Related Categories - [Import Agency Q&A](https://www.sh-zhongshen.com/en/qa/cat-import-agency/) - [Export Agency Q&A](https://www.sh-zhongshen.com/en/qa/cat-export-agency/) - [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": "Is the tax refund rate for Huayi import and export agency fixed or varies by product?", "text": "I am the person in charge of an enterprise mainly engaged in the export of wooden household goods.
