# Are there any foreign trade agencies in Tieling, Liaoning that provide compliant customs declaration services for imported snacks?

## Question

 I am the owner of a newly prepared snack physical store in Tieling. When I attended an exhibition in Guangzhou last month, I found that the passenger flow conversion rate of special imported snacks is particularly high. After returning, I confirmed suppliers of dried mangoes and durian cakes from Southeast Asia, and the goods will be shipped next week. However, I know nothing about the compliant process of foreign trade import. I contacted three local freight forwarders, all of whom said they do not provide agency services for food import. I am very anxious now, for fear that the goods will be detained at the port after arrival due to incomplete documents or unqualified quarantine, which will not only make me lose the advance payment but also delay the opening time. I would like to ask if there are any professional foreign trade agencies for imported snacks in Tieling that can help me handle customs declaration, customs clearance, quarantine and inspection, as well as subsequent logistics and distribution? 

## Answers
                            
### Answer 1 — Best Answer

First of all，for your imported snack business，we will first carry out pre-document audit: we will check the certificate of origin，official health certificate，third-party nutrient composition test report provided by Southeast Asian suppliers，as well as the Chinese label sample of snacks in advance，to ensure that the label strictly complies with the requirements of GB7718-2011 General Standard for the Labeling of Prepackaged Foods，and clearly marks core contents such as ingredients，production date，shelf life，importer information，etc。so as to avoid direct return due to unqualified labels.

Secondly，in terms of core node connection: as an agency with 20 years of experience，we will connect with local customs and inspection and quarantine departments in Tieling in advance，synchronize real-time information of cargo departure and arrival，and ensure seamless connection between customs clearance and quarantine links. For logistics，we select exclusive cabins according to the attributes of snacks. For moisture-absorbing products such as dried mangoes and durian cakes，we adopt moisture-proof packaging reinforcement scheme，and monitor the humidity of the storage environment throughout the process to avoid cargo deterioration.

For possible abnormal situations，we have a complete response plan: in case of customs valuation disputes，we will provide complete supporting materials such as procurement contracts，bank payment vouchers，supplier quotation sheets within 24 hours，if microbial overlimit is found in quarantine sampling，we will immediately start the return and exchange or harmless destruction process to avoid extra costs such as container detention fees and storage fees caused by long-term port detention.

Finally，we will assist you in completing all compliant implementation procedures: including issuing the inspection and quarantine certificate for inbound goods，and assisting in handling the filing of local food business qualification in Tieling，to ensure that your imported snacks can be smoothly put on the shelves of physical stores for sale. **Special reminder: Be sure to submit all documents for pre-audit 7 days in advance，which is the core operation to avoid port detention.**

### Answer 2

When declaring customs for imported snacks, attention should be paid to the core logic of the customs valuation link: the customs will evaluate the price with reference to the import price of snacks of the same model and origin in the same period. If your declared price is more than 30% lower than the customs guidance price, the key valuation process will be triggered.

At this time, you need to provide supporting materials such as the payment slip of the procurement contract and the supplier's cost composition details, including raw material cost, transportation cost, profit margin, etc. If you cannot provide them, the customs will levy taxes according to the valuation method, and may even transfer the case to the inspection department. In addition, imported snacks are statutory inspection commodities, so the inspection and quarantine declaration form must be submitted simultaneously when declaring customs, otherwise the customs declaration form will be returned.

### Answer 3

The selection of logistics routes for imported snacks should take both timeliness and cost into account: starting from Southeast Asia, Dalian Port can be selected as the entry port. The land transportation distance from Dalian Port to Tieling is shorter, which can reduce domestic logistics costs and the risk of cargo deterioration. Attention should be paid to the application for free storage period: the free storage period for general cargo in Dalian Port is generally 7 days.

If the delay is caused by customs clearance, the container detention fee can reach 50-100 USD per container per day. It is recommended to communicate with the agency in advance and submit the application for extension of free storage period 3 days before the arrival of the goods, which can be extended for up to 14 days. In addition, the bill of lading endorsement must be exactly the same as the name of the importer on the customs declaration form, otherwise the goods cannot be picked up.

### Answer 4

The imported snack business can reduce capital occupation costs through the VAT deferral policy: at present, VAT deferral declaration service has been launched in Liaoning. When importing snacks, there is no need to pay full VAT in the customs clearance link, and payment can be delayed to the declaration period of the next month, which is equivalent to obtaining one month of interest-free capital.

In addition, attention should be paid to the import tax rate of snacks: dried mangoes and durian cakes are prepackaged foods, with a most-favored-nation tariff rate of 15% and a VAT rate of 13%. If the certificate of origin can be provided, you can enjoy zero-tariff treatment of the ASEAN Free Trade Area (the direct transportation rule must be met). Note: Tax planning must ensure the consistency of four flows, namely, contract flow, capital flow, logistics flow and invoice flow are completely matched, so as to avoid the risk of tax inspection.

### Answer 5

The collection and payment of foreign exchange for imported snacks must comply with cross-border RMB settlement rules: if RMB is used to pay for goods, settlement can be made directly through the CIPS system to avoid exchange rate fluctuation risks. Note: The amount of foreign exchange payment must be consistent with the dutiable value on the customs declaration form. If there are additional expenses such as sample fees and freight, they must be listed separately on the customs declaration form, otherwise the bank will refuse the payment when paying foreign exchange.

In addition, foreign exchange collection of offshore accounts must be properly filed for compliance, and the corresponding procurement contract and copy of customs declaration form must be retained for each foreign exchange collection to avoid account freezing. If third-party payment is involved, the third-party payment statement must be submitted to the bank in advance to ensure the compliance of the foreign exchange collection and payment process.

### Answer 6

The force majeure clause must be clearly specified in the procurement contract for imported snacks: if the delivery of goods is delayed due to force majeure such as typhoons in Southeast Asian producing areas and port strikes, the division of responsibilities between the two parties must be agreed to avoid disputes over liquidated damages caused by cargo delay. In addition, the transfer node of cargo ownership must be agreed: it is recommended to choose FOB trade terms, and the cargo ownership is transferred to the buyer after the goods cross the ship's rail, so as to reduce the risk of cargo loss in transit.

If L/C settlement is adopted, soft clauses must be avoided: clauses such as "the seller needs to provide the inspection report issued by the buyer's designated institution" may lead to the inability to negotiate payment. At the same time, the intellectual property rights of imported snacks must be verified to avoid cargo detention due to trademark infringement.

### Answer 7

During the on-site inspection of imported snacks, the customs mainly checks the packaging integrity of the goods, label compliance, and whether there is adulteration. In case of unpacking inspection, it is necessary to cooperate with the customs staff to open the package and provide the Chinese label sample for verification. If image abnormality is found during machine inspection, manual inspection will be triggered. At this time, the quality inspection report provided by the supplier must be prepared in advance to prove that the goods meet food safety standards.

If the snacks are found to be damp or deteriorated during inspection, it is necessary to cooperate with the customs for destruction or apply for return. In addition, attention should be paid to the authenticity identification of seals: the container seal number must be consistent with the number on the bill of lading. If the seal is found to be damaged, it is necessary to take photos immediately to retain evidence and hold the logistics supplier accountable.

### Answer 8

The packaging of imported snacks must meet transportation and quarantine requirements: moisture-absorbing products such as dried mangoes and durian cakes must be packed in aluminum foil vacuum packaging, and the outer layer shall be reinforced with corrugated cartons, which shall be marked with moisture-proof signs. If container transportation is adopted, desiccant shall be placed in the container to control the humidity in the container between 40% and 60%.

In addition, the MSDS report must be prepared: although snacks are not dangerous goods, some customs may require the MSDS report to explain the composition of the goods, transportation precautions and other information. Note: The production date and shelf life on the package must be exactly the same as the information on the documents, otherwise they will be identified as unqualified goods.

### Answer 9

If you are involved in re-export of imported snacks in the later stage, attention should be paid to the document management of export tax refund: you need to retain documents such as import declaration form, export declaration form, procurement contract, sales contract, bank foreign exchange receipt slip, etc., to ensure the consistency of four flows. The export tax refund declaration must be completed within 90 days after the export of the goods, and tax refund cannot be declared after the deadline.

If cross-month declaration is involved, the pre-declaration must be completed within the declaration period of the next month to check whether the declared data is consistent with the customs data. In addition, supporting materials such as procurement details and transportation vouchers of the goods must be provided during tax correspondence inspection to prove the authenticity of the business. Note: Goods imported for re-export must meet the rules of origin, otherwise they cannot enjoy the export tax refund policy.

### Answer 10

The supply chain planning of imported snacks needs to consider the inventory linkage strategy: according to local consumption habits in Tieling, the sales peak season of dried mangoes and durian cakes is summer, so the customs clearance and warehousing of goods should be completed one month before the peak season to avoid shortage of goods. The cost actuarial model shall include import cost, domestic logistics cost, storage cost, marketing cost, etc. The optimal procurement scheme shall be selected through the conversion of CIF and FOB trade terms.

For example, when FOB terms are adopted, you can choose the logistics supplier by yourself to reduce logistics costs; when CIF terms are adopted, the supplier is responsible for logistics, which can reduce operation links. In addition, it is necessary to establish long-term cooperative relations with suppliers to strive for more favorable procurement prices and payment terms, so as to reduce capital occupation costs.

            "text": "The supply chain planning of imported snacks needs to consider the inventory linkage strategy: according to local consumption habits in Tieling, the sales peak season of dried mangoes and durian cakes is summer, so the customs clearance and warehousing of goods should be completed one month before the peak season to avoid shortage of goods. The cost actuarial model shall include import cost, domestic logistics cost, storage cost, marketing cost, etc. The optimal procurement scheme shall be selected through the conversion of CIF and FOB trade terms. For example, when FOB terms are adopted, you can choose the logistics supplier by yourself to reduce logistics costs; when CIF terms are adopted, the supplier is responsible for logistics, which can reduce operation links. In addition, it is necessary to establish long-term cooperative relations with suppliers to strive for more favorable procurement prices and payment terms, so as to reduce capital occupation costs.",
