# What Are the Major Professional Customs Brokerage Companies Focusing on Electronic Components Import in China?

## Question

 I am a purchasing supervisor at an electronic RD. Now my boss is pushing me hard. Another batch of imported FPGA chips will arrive at the port next week, and the deadline for new product launch is only 20 days away. I dare not choose an unqualified broker blindly anymore. I want to ask, what are the professional customs brokerage companies focusing on electronic components import in China? What are the brokerage companies that have customs AEO advanced certification, can handle customs detention and port congestion problems, and provide full-link services? I am so anxious that I can not sleep well, I am afraid that another mistake will affect the project. 

## Answers
                            
### Answer 1 — Best Answer

Many enterprises fall into the "price-only" fallacy when choosing electronic import customs brokerage. They only focus on the quotation，but ignore the professional adaptability of the broker to electronic goods -- for example，whether they are familiar with HS code classification and regulatory requirements for chips，sensors and other products，and whether they have experience in handling the import of sensitive electronic components.

This fallacy will trigger a series of negative reactions: if the broker misjudges the regulatory requirements for electronic products，it will cause goods to be detained at the port due to inconsistent documents at best，resulting in thousands of daily port storage fees and container detention fees. At worst，it will trigger customs detention，and the goods will be sent for inspection or withheld，which directly delays production or R&D nodes，and the indirect loss may be dozens of times the customs brokerage fee.

Physical risk isolation focuses on two core points: first，prioritize brokers **focusing on electronic product import business and holding customs AEO advanced certification**，the customs clearance efficiency of such enterprises is usually more than 30% faster，second，require the broker to provide **double pre-review mechanism for electronic documents**，with cross-review by exclusive customs declarant and document clerk for electronic products.

Exclusive tip for loss reduction: clearly stipulate the "port detention/customs detention liability compensation clause" in the contract，require the broker to bear direct losses such as port storage fees and container detention fees in case of compliance errors，and also agree on the access right of "emergency customs clearance green channel" to ensure rapid connection with on-site customs officers when abnormalities occur.

### Answer 2

When choosing an electronic import customs broker, you need to focus on checking the accuracy of its HS code classification for electronic goods -- especially for high-precision chips, radio frequency devices and other products, different HS codes may lead to completely different regulatory requirements. For example, some chips need to apply for an Import License, and wrong classification will directly trigger customs detention.

At the same time, you need to confirm whether the broker has the ability to handle customs valuation disputes for electronic components. Customs valuation of electronic components usually refers to the import price of the same model in the same period.

If the broker can not provide effective price supporting materials such as original factory invoices, purchase contracts and payment vouchers, it may lead to upward valuation and increase import costs. In addition, you need to verify whether the broker is familiar with the national customs clearance integration policy, and can shorten the customs clearance time through the "advance declaration" mode to avoid goods detention after arrival.

### Answer 3

When selecting an import customs broker for electronic goods, you need to inspect its logistics linkage capability at the same time -- especially for the transportation of precision electronic components, the broker should be able to match a full-process temperature-controlled or shock-proof logistics solution from port to warehouse, to avoid damage to goods during transportation or port detention. At the same time, you need to confirm whether the broker can handle logistics abnormalities flexibly.

For example, if the goods are rolled by the shipping line, can the broker quickly coordinate the transfer space, or apply for an extension of the free storage period to reduce the cost of container detention. In addition, you need to check the standardization of the broker's bill of lading endorsement operation.

The transfer of title of electronic goods usually depends on the correct endorsement of the bill of lading. If the broker makes an operation error, it may lead to title dispute and affect goods pick-up. For urgent goods, you need to confirm whether the broker has resources for direct shipping routes to arrange priority customs clearance and shorten the overall logistics cycle.

### Answer 4

When choosing an electronic import customs broker, you need to pay attention to its tax planning capability, especially the application of VAT deferral policy for electronic goods -- qualified electronic components import can apply for VAT deferral, which eliminates the need to pay VAT immediately at the import link and can ease the capital pressure of enterprises. At the same time, you need to confirm whether the broker is familiar with the tariff reduction and exemption policies for electronic products.

For example, some imported chips for R&D can enjoy the Tax Exemption Policy for Scientific and Educational Supplies. If the broker can assist in preparing relevant qualification materials, the import cost can be greatly reduced. In addition, you need to check whether the broker can accurately calculate cross-border tax costs, avoid tax repayment or fines caused by wrong tax code classification, and ensure that tax declaration data is consistent with customs declaration data to reduce the risk of tax inspection.

### Answer 5

When selecting an electronic import customs broker, you need to check its compliance capability for international payment and settlement -- import of electronic goods usually involves large amount of overseas payment, the broker should be able to assist enterprises to make RMB cross-border payment through CIPS, optimize the purchase exchange rate and reduce exchange cost. At the same time, you need to confirm whether the broker is familiar with the standard filling of SWIFT messages, to avoid payment failure caused by inconsistent message information and customs declaration data, which affects subsequent goods pick-up or future imports.

In addition, you need to verify whether the broker can help enterprises ensure that payment and settlement data is consistent with customs declaration data and contract data, which meets the "three flows consistency" requirement of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange. If there is a deferred payment, the broker can assist in handling the relevant foreign exchange filing procedures to avoid compliance risks.

### Answer 6

When choosing an electronic import customs broker, you need to inspect its on-site inspection response capability -- electronic goods, especially chips and sensors, are likely to trigger customs inspection due to unclear packaging marking and inconsistency between goods and documents. The broker should guide enterprises to standardize goods packaging and marking in advance, ensure that information such as HS code, brand and model is consistent with the documents, and be familiar with X-ray inspection skills to avoid unpacking inspection triggered by abnormal inspection images.

If the goods are unpacked for inspection, the broker can cooperate with customs on site to complete cargo counting and model verification, provide effective product descriptions, original factory certificates and other materials, and shorten the inspection time. In addition, the broker is familiar with the inspection and appraisal process. If the goods are required to be inspected by customs, the broker can quickly connect with the designated testing institution and follow up the appraisal progress to avoid long-term detention of goods at the port.

### Answer 7

When choosing an electronic import customs broker, you need to pay attention to its overall supply chain planning capability -- import of electronic goods usually involves multi-batch and small-batch procurement. The broker can help enterprises optimize import frequency, reduce customs clearance costs through the "centralized customs declaration" mode, and match inventory linkage strategies to avoid capital occupation caused by insufficient or excess inventory after goods arrival.

At the same time, you need to confirm whether the broker can assist enterprises in trade term conversion, for example, converting FOB to CIF, optimize the connection efficiency of logistics and customs clearance, and reduce communication costs in intermediate links. In addition, the broker can provide an accurate cost calculation model to help enterprises calculate the total import cost of electronic goods including customs brokerage fee, tariff, logistics fee, tax cost and so on, and provide data support for enterprises' purchasing decisions.
