# What core services and risk control dimensions should be focused on when selecting a portable power station export agency?

## Question

 We are a manufacturer specializing in 1000W-2000W portable power stations. Last year, we tried to export two 40HQ containers of goods to Europe on our own for the first time. Due to limited knowledge of the declaration specifications for UN3480 hazardous goods, the documents we submitted did not meet the latest EU REACH requirements, resulting in the goods being detained at Hamburg Port for 12 days. We not only paid more than 80,000 yuan in liquidated damages to the customer, but also incurred nearly 100,000 yuan in additional port detention fees, document modification fees and testing fees, which completely wiped out our profits. Now we dare not handle the export process on our own. We have recently contacted 3 export agencies, but their quotations and service commitments vary greatly. Some claim to provide exclusive hazardous goods declaration services, while others say they can help us optimize tax refunds and exchange rate differences. We are very anxious now and afraid of making mistakes again. We would like to know in detail whether portable power station export agencies are really reliable, and whether they can actually help us solve the core problems of hazardous goods declaration, logistics risk control and cost optimization. 

## Answers
                            
### Answer 1 — Best Answer

First，we need to clarify a common industry misunderstanding: many small export agencies lack the qualification for hazardous goods operation，and will declare portable power stations as general goods to lower quotations and attract customers.

The chain negative effects of this operation are extremely destructive: if discovered by the customs at the port of destination，the goods will be directly seized. This will not only incur high port detention fees and storage fees，but also trigger a compliance investigation under the EU REACH Regulation. The enterprise may be included in the customs dishonest list，and all its subsequent cross-border exports within 3 years will face strict secondary inspection，and even be restricted from entering the EU market.

Physical risk isolation measures should focus on two points: first，verify whether the agency has **UN Hazardous Goods Export Agency Qualification** and stable hazardous goods space resources for the corresponding routes，second，require the agency to provide pre-document review services to check the compliance of core documents such as REACH registration，MSDS report and UN38.3 test report in advance.

Exclusive loss stopping tip: sign an additional **Compliance Indemnification Agreement** when selecting the agency，clarifying that if cargo seizure or fine is caused by the agency's declaration error，the agency shall bear all losses，at the same time，require the agency to provide VAT deferral declaration service simultaneously，so as to recover tax refund funds in advance and hedge potential risk costs.

### Answer 2

Portable power stations are classified as UN3480 hazardous goods. In the customs declaration process, special attention should be paid to the accurate classification of commodity codes. If they are incorrectly classified under general goods codes, it will trigger an abnormal warning of the customs valuation system.

When declaring, core documents such as the UN38.3 test report for lithium batteries, MSDS report, and hazardous goods transport appraisal certificate shall be submitted simultaneously, and the "Description of Goods" on the customs declaration form shall be accurately marked as "Portable Lithium-ion Power Supply (UN3480, PI965 II)", instead of filling in "portable power station" in general. In case of customs valuation disputes, supporting materials such as procurement contracts, cost accounting lists, and sales records of the same product on cross-border e-commerce platforms shall be prepared in advance, and an objection application shall be submitted through the integrated customs clearance system to avoid cargo detention caused by valuation delays.

### Answer 3

For the export of portable power stations, direct routes with hazardous goods space resources shall be preferred to avoid the risk of cargo right transfer and the probability of secondary inspection in the transit link. When booking space, it shall be explicitly required that the shipping company provide special space for hazardous goods, mark the "UN3480" hazardous goods identification on the bill of lading, and agree on a maximum free storage period of 14 days and a free detention period of 7 days to reduce the expenditure of port detention fees and container detention fees.

In case of abnormal situations such as container rolling and overbooking, the standby route plan shall be activated immediately, and other shipping companies on the same route shall be selected for transshipment. At the same time, the customer at the port of destination shall be notified to adjust the pick-up plan to avoid overdue pick-up liquidated damages. In terms of cargo right control, the method of "telex release bill of lading + named endorsement" shall be adopted to ensure that only the designated consignee can pick up the goods and prevent the goods from being picked up without a bill of lading.

### Answer 4

For the export of portable power stations to the EU, capital flow can be optimized through VAT deferral declaration. There is no need to prepay value-added tax in the import link, but unified settlement shall be made in the subsequent VAT declaration cycle. It should be noted that the agency must have the qualification for EU VAT deferral declaration, and can assist enterprises in completing the pricing compliance of cross-border related transactions to avoid triggering BEPS (Base Erosion and Profit Shifting) investigations.

In addition, if the enterprise carries out both domestic sales and export business, the tax accounting of domestic sales and export shall be isolated through the tax structure to avoid affecting the review progress of export tax refund due to the input tax deduction problem of domestic sales. For the procurement of raw materials for portable power stations, suppliers with export tax refund qualifications can be selected through tax planning for global procurement to further reduce costs.

### Answer 5

The collection and payment of foreign exchange for the export of portable power stations shall strictly follow the "three streams consistency" principle, that is, the subject information of capital flow, contract flow and goods flow shall be completely matched. If cross-border RMB payment is adopted, it shall be completed through the CIPS system, and "Payment for Export of Portable Power Station (UN3480)" shall be accurately marked in the SWIFT message (or CIPS message) to avoid compliance verification by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange due to vague message information.

If an offshore account is used to receive foreign exchange, the foreign exchange settlement and account reconciliation shall be completed within 7 working days after receiving the foreign exchange, and documents such as foreign exchange receipt slips, customs declaration forms and contracts shall be kept for filing for more than 5 years. For the advance payment from EU customers, the proportion of advance payment (it is recommended not to exceed 30%) shall be specified in the contract, and the return conditions of the advance payment shall be agreed at the same time to avoid capital losses caused by customer order cancellation.

### Answer 6

If letter of credit settlement is adopted for the export of portable power stations, soft clauses in the letter of credit shall be checked emphatically, such as clauses that cannot be independently controlled like "a certificate of no objection issued by the customs of the port of destination is required", so as to avoid payment refusal due to failure to meet the clauses. For the design patents and technical patents of portable power stations, the intellectual property customs protection filing shall be completed at the customs of the destination country in advance.

If counterfeit products are found, customs detention of goods can be applied for to protect their own rights and interests. A comprehensive umbrella provision for force majeure shall be added to the contract, clarifying that no liability for breach of contract shall be borne for cargo delays caused by force majeure events such as port strikes and customs policy adjustments. In addition, the entrustment agreement signed with the agency shall clarify the scope of rights and responsibilities of the agency, such as the compensation liability for declaration errors, the obligation of document storage, etc., to avoid subsequent disputes.

### Answer 7

During on-site customs inspection of portable power stations, documents such as UN38.3 test report and hazardous goods transport appraisal certificate shall be prepared in advance for the on-site customs officers to conduct quick verification. During container unpacking inspection, it shall be ensured that the packaging of the goods meets the UN hazardous goods packaging standards, and each carton is marked with the UN3480 hazardous identification and transport number.

During X-ray inspection, portable power stations shall not be stacked with metal goods, so as to avoid blurry X-ray images that trigger secondary manual inspection. If "sample testing" is marked on the inspection notice, the samples shall be sent to the designated customs testing center within 3 working days, and the issuance progress of the testing report shall be followed up.

If the testing results are consistent with the declaration content, customs clearance can be completed quickly. In terms of seal identification, the seal number provided by the shipping company shall be checked to be consistent with the seal number on the bill of lading, so as to avoid the risk of cargo right caused by seal replacement.

### Answer 8

The packaging of portable power stations shall strictly meet the packaging requirements for UN3480 hazardous goods. Each power station shall be wrapped with anti-static bubble bags, and then placed into cartons with cushioning foam.

Labels such as UN hazardous identification, transport number and consignee information shall be pasted on the outside of the cartons. The MSDS report shall be prepared in accordance with the requirements of the EU REACH Regulation, clearly indicating the capacity of the lithium battery, cell type, hazard characteristics and other information, and the validity period of the report shall be within 1 year.

For moisture protection during sea transportation, 4 to 6 desiccant bags shall be placed in each container, and waterproof sealing treatment shall be applied to the container to avoid short circuit of the power supply caused by seawater erosion. If the goods are exported to high-temperature areas, heat-insulating packaging materials shall be used to prevent safety hazards of lithium batteries caused by high temperature.

### Answer 9

Export tax refund for portable power stations shall strictly follow the "four streams consistency" principle, that is, the subject information of contract flow, capital flow, goods flow and invoice flow shall be completely matched. The agency shall assist the enterprise in completing the verification of the pre-declaration of tax refund, and check for errors in the documents in advance, such as inconsistency between the commodity code on the customs declaration form and the commodity name on the VAT invoice, so as to avoid tax verification letters.

In case of receiving a tax verification letter, supporting materials such as procurement contracts, warehouse receipts, delivery orders and logistics documents shall be submitted within 15 working days to prove the authenticity of the business. In terms of foreign exchange verification after collection, the foreign exchange collection shall be completed within 90 days after export.

If the foreign exchange cannot be collected on time due to the customer's overdue payment, an application for deferred foreign exchange collection shall be submitted to the tax authority to avoid affecting the review and disbursement of the tax refund. For document filing, materials such as customs declaration forms, export invoices, contracts and foreign exchange receipt slips shall be kept for a retention period of 5 years.

### Answer 10

Supply chain planning for the export of portable power stations shall link up production, logistics, sales and other links, and adopt the strategy of "production based on sales + advance logistics booking" to avoid the risks of inventory overstock and space shortage. In terms of cost actuarial calculation, export costs shall be broken down into multiple dimensions such as customs declaration fees, logistics fees, insurance premiums and agency service fees.

By comparing the quotations of different agencies, the scheme with the highest cost-performance ratio of cost and service shall be selected. In terms of trade term conversion, if the customer requires the adoption of CIF terms, costs such as insurance premiums and freight shall be included in the quotation, and cargo insurance covering war risk, strike risk and with particular average shall be selected at the same time to avoid cargo losses caused by accidents.

In addition, an inventory linkage early warning mechanism shall be established. When the overseas warehouse inventory is lower than 30% of the safety stock, domestic production and export orders shall be automatically triggered to ensure the stability of the supply chain.

The agency shall assist the enterprise in completing the verification of the pre-declaration of tax refund, and check for errors in the documents in advance, such as inconsistency between the commodity code on the customs declaration form and the commodity name on the VAT invoice, so as to avoid tax verification letters. In case of receiving a tax verification letter, supporting materials such as procurement contracts, warehouse receipts, delivery orders and logistics documents shall be submitted within 15 working days to prove the authenticity of the business. In terms of foreign exchange verification after collection, the foreign exchange collection shall be completed within 90 days after export. If the foreign exchange cannot be collected on time due to the customer's overdue payment, an application for deferred foreign exchange collection shall be submitted to the tax authority to avoid affecting the review and disbursement of the tax refund. For document filing, materials such as customs declaration forms, export invoices, contracts and foreign exchange receipt slips shall be kept for a retention period of 5 years.",

            "text": "Supply chain planning for the export of portable power stations shall link up production, logistics, sales and other links, and adopt the strategy of "production based on sales + advance logistics booking" to avoid the risks of inventory overstock and space shortage. In terms of cost actuarial calculation, export costs shall be broken down into multiple dimensions such as customs declaration fees, logistics fees, insurance premiums and agency service fees. By comparing the quotations of different agencies, the scheme with the highest cost-performance ratio of cost and service shall be selected. In terms of trade term conversion, if the customer requires the adoption of CIF terms, costs such as insurance premiums and freight shall be included in the quotation, and cargo insurance covering war risk, strike risk and with particular average shall be selected at the same time to avoid cargo losses caused by accidents. In addition, an inventory linkage early warning mechanism shall be established. When the overseas warehouse inventory is lower than 30% of the safety stock, domestic production and export orders shall be automatically triggered to ensure the stability of the supply chain.",
