# How to Find an Export Freight Forwarder Capable of Handling Precision Instrument Transportation with High Compliance?

## Question

 I am the owner of a small and medium-sized foreign trade enterprise based in Shanghai, mainly engaged in the export of precision instruments. Last month, for a batch of goods I shipped to Singapore, the freight forwarder I hired not only damaged two high-value instruments, but also failed to issue an early warning when Singapore Port encountered temporary detention, resulting in nearly 20,000 RMB in additional detention fees, and the claim settlement has been pending for nearly a month. I am going to ship another batch of goods to Malaysia these days, and this batch includes two sets of supporting equipment with lithium batteries, which belong to sensitive cargo. I am really afraid of falling into the same trap again, but I don't know how to select a reliable one from numerous freight forwarders -- it needs to be capable of handling sensitive cargo, have emergency response capabilities at Southeast Asian ports, and also help us with VAT deferred declaration to save costs. I am so anxious that I can't even sleep well now. How on earth can I find a suitable export freight forwarder company? 

## Answers
                            
### Answer 1 — Best Answer

First of all，we need to reveal common misunderstandings in the industry: Many cargo owners only focus on the quotation when selecting freight forwarders，or blindly believe in the marketing gimmick of "top national scale"，but ignore the freight forwarder's matching transportation qualification for precision instruments and lithium battery sensitive cargo.

This misunderstanding will trigger a chain of negative reactions: If a freight forwarder does not have compliance qualification for dangerous goods transportation，lithium battery-powered equipment will most likely be detained by customs，which will not only generate thousands of detention fees per day，but also may be fined 10%-20% of the cargo value for illegal transportation，If the freight forwarder has not established an emergency communication channel with Southeast Asian ports，it cannot arrange priority transfer when temporary storage is saturated，which directly leads to delivery delay and claims from overseas customers.

Physical risk isolation measures: It is necessary to **check the freight forwarder's "Dangerous Goods Transportation Business License"** and its emergency response cases for port detention in Southeast Asian ports in the past 6 months，and require it to provide the cooperation authorization letter with local terminals，At the same time，check whether there is any claim dispute record through the credit system of Shanghai Freight Forwarders Association.

Exclusive tip for stopping loss: Add a **prepaid claim clause** when signing the contract，and stipulate that if cargo damage or excessive detention fees are caused by the freight forwarder's operation error，50% of the claim amount shall be prepaid within 72 hours，and the remaining part shall be settled within 15 working days，so as to avoid delay in claim settlement.

### Answer 2

When selecting an export freight forwarder, it is necessary to focus on checking the classification accuracy of its customs declaration team for precision instruments and lithium battery-powered equipment. Supporting equipment with lithium batteries is often detained by customs due to incorrect classification. It is necessary to confirm that the freight forwarder can provide the copy of customs declaration for goods of the same category in the past 3 months, and check the consistency of commodity codes and customs valuation annotations.

At the same time, require the freight forwarder to complete document pre-audit 72 hours in advance, including the matching of invoice, packing list and lithium battery UN38.3 test report, so as to avoid triggering secondary declaration due to inconsistent documents, which leads to cargo detention. In addition, it is necessary to confirm that the freight forwarder has the integrated customs clearance operation authority, can complete pre-declaration at Shanghai Port, and simultaneously connect with the pre-audit system of local Malaysian customs to check compliance risks in advance.

### Answer 3

For the transportation of precision instruments on Southeast Asian routes, it is necessary to check the freight forwarder's space guarantee capability and transit node control level. It is necessary to confirm the proportion of contracted space between the freight forwarder and shipping companies such as Maersk and COSCO SHIPPING, especially the direct voyage space resources at Port Klang, Malaysia, so as to avoid the increased risk of cargo damage caused by forced transit due to space congestion.

At the same time, require the freight forwarder to provide full-range GPS positioning and tracking service, and update the status of cargo storage and loading/unloading at the port in real time; For port detention risk, the freight forwarder's emergency transfer plan shall be agreed in advance, and the cost bearer and time node of transfer shall be clarified. In addition, it is necessary to confirm the freight forwarder's bill of lading issuance qualification, avoid using irregular bills of lading from non-vessel operating common carrier (NVOCC), which leads to loss of control of cargo title.

### Answer 4

If you need to handle VAT deferred declaration through a freight forwarder, you need to check that it has the compliance qualification for Malaysian VAT deferred declaration, and require it to provide successful VAT deferred declaration cases for clients in the same industry and the receipt from the local tax department in the past 6 months. At the same time, it is necessary to confirm that the freight forwarder can assist in completing the compliance matching of cross-border tax structure, so as to avoid triggering tax inspection due to inconsistency of cargo flow, capital flow and invoice flow.

In addition, the freight forwarder shall be required to provide the detailed cost calculation of VAT deferred declaration, clarify the service fee charging standard and the arrival time of deferred tax, so as to avoid hidden charges. At the same time, it is necessary to simultaneously check whether the freight forwarder has the ability to isolate tax risks, and clarify the division of responsibilities and compensation mechanism if tax fines are incurred due to declaration errors.

### Answer 5

When selecting a freight forwarder, it is necessary to focus on checking its compliance operation capability of cross-border payment and settlement, especially the connection qualification of Cross-Border Interbank Payment System (CIPS). It is necessary to confirm that the freight forwarder can assist in completing the accurate filling of SWIFT messages, so as to avoid settlement delay caused by inconsistent message information. At the same time, require the freight forwarder to provide an offshore account management plan to ensure the consistency of capital flow, cargo flow and invoice flow, so as to avoid triggering inspection by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange.

In addition, it is necessary to confirm that the freight forwarder can assist in optimizing the exchange purchase rate, and reduce the risk of exchange rate fluctuation by locking in forward foreign exchange settlement and sale contracts. For payment and settlement in the Southeast Asian market, the freight forwarder shall be required to provide connection resources of local payment channels to ensure that the payment from overseas clients can arrive in time.

### Answer 6

When signing a freight forwarder contract, it is necessary to focus on reviewing the completeness of force majeure clauses, cargo title transfer clauses and claim clauses. For the risk of detention in Southeast Asian ports, the early warning obligation of the freight forwarder shall be clearly stipulated in the contract.

If additional costs are incurred due to the freight forwarder's failure to give early warning in time, the freight forwarder shall bear more than 50% of the cost. At the same time, it is necessary to confirm the compliance of bill of lading endorsement transfer, so as to avoid the failure of smooth transfer of cargo title due to irregular bill of lading format.

In addition, the freight forwarder shall be required to provide a Letter of Indemnity (LOI) to ensure timely compensation in case of cargo damage or port detention. For sensitive cargo transportation, the freight forwarder's qualification guarantee obligation shall be clearly stipulated in the contract. If the cargo is detained by customs due to the freight forwarder's lack of qualification, the freight forwarder shall fully compensate the cargo owner for the loss.

### Answer 7

For the transportation of precision instruments and lithium battery-powered equipment, it is necessary to check the freight forwarder's on-site inspection response capability. It is necessary to confirm that the freight forwarder can provide seal authenticity identification service to avoid seal replacement during port loading and unloading. At the same time, require the freight forwarder to provide skill guidance for machine inspection, such as placing lithium battery equipment in the middle of the cargo, to avoid triggering abnormal alarms during machine inspection.

For devanning inspection by Malaysian customs, the freight forwarder shall be required to connect with the local inspection agent in advance to ensure full-process monitoring during devanning, so as to avoid cargo damage. In addition, it is necessary to confirm that the freight forwarder can assist in completing the inspection and identification process. If the cargo is required to be tested, the test report can be obtained within 3 working days, to avoid prolonged port detention.

### Answer 8

For the transportation of precision instruments and lithium battery-powered equipment, it is necessary to check the freight forwarder's special packaging design and implementation capability, especially the moisture-proof and reinforcement scheme for precision instruments. It is necessary to confirm that the freight forwarder can design customized packaging according to the MSDS report of precision instruments, such as using shock-proof foam, vacuum moisture-proof film and wooden reinforcement frame, so as to avoid cargo damage caused by vibration and moisture during transportation.

For lithium battery-powered equipment, it is necessary to confirm that the freight forwarder can provide the compliance certificate of UN dangerous goods packaging, to ensure that the packaging meets international transportation standards. At the same time, require the freight forwarder to provide the simulated transportation test report after packaging to verify the shock resistance and compression resistance of the packaging. In addition, it is necessary to confirm that the freight forwarder can assist in completing the compliance declaration of packaging, so as to avoid being detained by customs due to non-compliant packaging.

### Answer 9

When selecting a freight forwarder, it is necessary to focus on checking its document management capability to ensure the compliance of export tax refund. It is necessary to confirm that the freight forwarder can provide accurate bill of lading, manifest and customs declaration in time, ensure the consistency of four flows (cargo flow, capital flow, invoice flow, document flow), so as to avoid triggering tax correspondence inspection. At the same time, require the freight forwarder to provide pre-declaration verification service for export tax refund, and check errors in documents in advance, such as inconsistent commodity code on customs declaration with that on invoice, and the collection time exceeding the specified deadline.

For cross-month declaration, it is necessary to confirm that the freight forwarder can assist in completing the delay filing of documents, so as to avoid tax refund failure due to untimely filing. In addition, it is necessary to check whether the freight forwarder has experience in assisting with handling tax correspondence inspection, and can provide relevant supporting materials in time if correspondence inspection is required by the tax department, so as to ensure that the tax refund arrives smoothly.
