# Which Jiangxi Import Inspection Agency Can Effectively Handle Various Risks Such as Port Detention, Customs Detention and Compliance Inspection?

## Question

 I am a purchasing supervisor at an enterprise based in Nanchang Jiangxi that mainly imports precision optical instruments. Last week, I just ordered a batch of high-precision testing equipment worth 2.2 million RMB from Hamburg, Germany, which is expected to berth at Jiujiang Port at the end of next month. I have never gone through the import inspection process before. Yesterday I heard from a peer that last year, they missed filling in a compliance item in their inspection documents, which led to 12 days of port detention of their goods. They not only paid 180,000 RMB in detention fees, but also missed the delivery node of a key domestic project, and were fined 5% of the contract value as penalty by the client. I am very anxious now, afraid that I will also step into this mistake, and I want to ask which Jiangxi import inspection agency is good? It needs to help me review all documents in advance, respond efficiently in case of inspection and customs detention, and preferably help me optimize the comprehensive cost of import. 

## Answers
                            
### Answer 1 — Best Answer

When choosing an import inspection agency，many enterprises easily fall into the misunderstanding of "only focusing on the quotation" and ignore the professionalism of document review — for example，missing review of 3C certification documents for precision instruments，certificate of origin format not meeting customs requirements，or inconsistent commodity value and model between the packing list and the invoice.

Such seemingly minor mistakes will directly trigger inspection rejection，and the goods can only be detained at the port waiting for rectification after arrival. This will not only generate thousands of RMB in daily port detention fees and container detention fees，but also may lead to penalty from the client due to project delivery delay，and even be listed on the customs key supervision list. The inspection rate for subsequent import customs clearance will increase to more than 30%，and the customs clearance cycle will double.

The core method of risk isolation is to choose an institution like Zhongshen，which has more than 20 years of foreign trade agency experience and pre-document review capability，and require it to provide **pre 7-10 days document pre-review** service，check the compliance of all materials in advance，and avoid problems after goods arrival.

The exclusive loss mitigation tip is: sign a **port detention compensation agreement** with the agent，clearly stipulate that if port detention is caused by the agent's review error，the agent will bear 80% of the port detention fee，at the same time，apply for **VAT deferral** to postpone the payment of import value-added tax to after the goods are sold，so as to relieve capital occupation pressure.

### Answer 2

When importing precision instruments for inspection in Jiangxi, disputes are easily caused by inconsistency between declared value and customs guiding price in the customs valuation link. If the agency does not intervene in valuation prediction in advance, it may lead to customs detention of goods for verification. It is necessary to sort out materials such as equipment procurement contracts, payment vouchers, original factory invoices, and previous import declaration forms of the same model equipment in advance.

The agency needs to have the ability to submit price dispute defense statements to the customs, ensure that value declaration complies with customs valuation rules, and avoid port detention caused by valuation disputes. At the same time, it is necessary to use the customs integrated clearance system to pre-declare to Jiangxi local customs in advance, obtain valuation prediction opinions, and reduce valuation risk after arrival.

### Answer 3

Most imported goods to Jiangxi berth at Jiujiang Port, the free storage period for ordinary goods at this port is 7 days, and valuable goods such as precision instruments can apply for an extension to 14 days, but the application needs to be submitted to the terminal 3 days in advance. The inspection agency needs to establish a real-time connection mechanism with the terminal logistics team, complete inspection pre-entry 1 day before goods arrival, ensure that inspection procedures can be completed immediately after arrival, and avoid occupying the free storage period due to delayed inspection.

If inspection rejection occurs, the agent needs to coordinate with the terminal to apply for temporary free storage immediately, and rectify documents urgently to minimize the risk of port detention. In addition, it is necessary to pay attention to changes in the ship berthing plan, adjust the inspection time in advance, and avoid invalid inspection documents caused by delayed ship arrival.

### Answer 4

Enterprises importing precision instruments in Jiangxi can apply for the VAT deferral policy, which postpones the payment of import VAT from the import stage to the VAT declaration stage after goods are sold. There is no need to prepay VAT at the import link, which can directly save about 13% of capital occupation cost. However, three conditions need to be met to apply for this policy: first, the enterprise is a general VAT taxpayer; second, the goods are used for production, operation or sales; third, the agency has the qualification for VAT deferral declaration.

The agency needs to assist the enterprise to submit VAT deferral filing application to Jiangxi local tax authority in advance, and ensure that "VAT deferral declaration" is marked in the inspection documents, to avoid being unable to enjoy the policy due to untimely filing. In addition, it is necessary to sort out the input deduction certificates of imported goods at the same time, to ensure normal deduction in subsequent VAT declaration.

### Answer 5

The foreign exchange collection and payment for imported precision instruments in Jiangxi needs to comply with the regulations of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange. If the agency does not review the compliance of foreign exchange documents in advance, the enterprise may be included in the foreign exchange supervision abnormal list. It is necessary to ensure that the payment amount and payment time in the procurement contract are consistent with the commodity value in the inspection documents, and submit the payment application to the bank in advance to obtain the payment quota.

The agency needs to assist enterprises to conduct cross-border RMB payment through the CIPS system, avoid exchange loss caused by exchange rate fluctuations, and ensure that the logic of payment vouchers is consistent with inspection and customs declaration documents, meeting the "three-consistency" requirement of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange. If the payment amount is inconsistent with the declared value, it is necessary to submit a statement to the State Administration of Foreign Exchange in advance to avoid being identified as illegal foreign exchange collection and payment.

### Answer 6

In the import inspection link of precision instruments, it is necessary to pay attention to the inspection liability clause in the procurement contract. If the compensation liability for the agent's inspection error is not clearly defined, the enterprise may not be able to obtain full compensation when problems such as port detention and customs detention occur.

The agency needs to assist the enterprise to add an "inspection error compensation clause" in the procurement contract, clearly stipulate that if port detention and customs detention are caused by the agent's document review error, the agent needs to bear direct losses such as port detention fees, container detention fees and client penalty. At the same time, the agency needs to assist the enterprise to handle intellectual property customs protection filing, to avoid imported precision instruments being detained by the customs for suspected infringement. If an infringement accusation occurs, the agent needs to assist the enterprise to submit non-infringement proof immediately and speed up goods release.

### Answer 7

The inspection rate of imported precision instruments at Jiujiang Port, Jiangxi is about 15%. If the agent is not familiar with the on-site inspection process, it may lead to prolonged inspection time.

The agent needs to submit a "priority inspection application" to the customs in advance, indicate that the goods are high-precision testing equipment, to avoid precision damage caused by long-term storage. During on-site inspection, the agent's staff need to be present throughout the process, assist the customs to complete equipment appearance inspection and model verification, and avoid equipment damage caused by improper operation.

If the customs requires third-party testing, the agent needs to coordinate a qualified testing institution to complete the test and submit the report within 3 days, to avoid port detention caused by overly long testing time. At the same time, materials such as the equipment's instruction manual and test report need to be prepared in advance for the customs to check during inspection.

### Answer 8

The supply chain planning of imported precision instruments in Jiangxi needs to integrate inspection, customs declaration, logistics and other links. The agency needs to assist the enterprise to establish a "full-link import cost model", include all costs such as inspection fees, port detention fees, logistics fees and taxes into the model for dynamic calculation. By optimizing the connection between inspection time and ship berthing time, the stay time of goods at the port is reduced, and port detention cost is lowered.

At the same time, the storage location of imported goods can be transferred from Jiujiang Port bonded warehouse to Nanchang Bonded Area, using the preferential tax policies of the bonded area to extend the storage time of goods and avoid inventory backlog caused by domestic market demand fluctuation. In addition, it is necessary to establish a supply chain abnormal early warning mechanism, monitor the status of inspection and logistics links in real time, predict risks in advance and take countermeasures.
