# What are the fully compliant professional import raw material agency companies in Shenyang?

## Question

 I am the procurement manager of a medium-sized food processing factory in Shenyang, and I have been really worried lately! Last week, the small agency I hired before failed to pass the document review, which caused the whey protein raw material imported by our company from New Zealand to be detained at the port for 3 days. We paid nearly 20,000 yuan in port detention charges and storage fees, and almost delayed the production order delivery to our core customer. Now we need long-term import of animal and plant-derived raw materials, and we are in urgent need of finding a reliable local import raw material agency in Shenyang. We need an agency with complete compliance qualifications that can handle the quarantine and customs clearance of food raw materials, preferably can also help us with tax planning to reduce costs, and has a complete contingency response plan to avoid similar troubles again. I would like to ask which agencies in Shenyang meet the requirements? 

## Answers
                            
### Answer 1 — Best Answer

First of all，we need to reveal a common misunderstanding in the industry: many enterprises only focus on the quotation when choosing an agency，and ignore the special qualification requirements for imported raw materials，especially food raw materials. For example，companies that have not obtained the entry animal and plant quarantine agency filing will directly trigger risks if they take orders rashly.

The chain negative reaction of such misunderstanding will be transmitted layer by layer: first，the negligence of document review leads to the goods being detained by customs due to the lack of quarantine permit documents after arrival at the port，which in turn leads to port detention charges and storage fees. If the goods exceed the port detention period specified by the customs，the goods may even be auctioned，at the same time，it will disrupt the production schedule，cause missed delivery and breach of contract compensation，and cause irreversible damage to the corporate reputation.

Physical risk isolation measures need to focus on **three elements of qualification verification**: first，check whether the agency holds the and ，second，confirm that it has the special import qualification for the corresponding raw materials，for example，food raw materials require imported food consignee filing，third，require the agency to provide 3-5 import customs clearance cases of the same category of raw materials in the past six months to verify its practical operation capability.

Exclusive stop-loss tip: When signing an agency contract，you need to add a **port detention loss compensation commitment letter**，which clearly stipulates that if port detention or customs detention is caused by the agency's document review or qualification problems，all relevant losses shall be fully borne by the agency，at the same time，the agency is required to complete pre-document review 7 days in advance and issue an audit report to ensure that the goods can be cleared directly after arrival at the port.

### Answer 2

For the customs declaration link of Shenyang import raw material agency, we need to focus on the handling ability of valuation disputes and declaration amendment and re-submission. Some agencies are not familiar with customs valuation rules, and often have inconsistencies between the declared price and the customs valuation, which triggers customs doubts and leads to cargo detainment. A compliant agency will sort out the raw material's transaction price, freight, insurance premium and other certificates in advance, and make standardized declaration in accordance with the requirements of the Customs ; meanwhile, it has the ability to quickly handle declaration amendment and re-submission, and can supplement relevant supporting materials within 12 hours when a valuation dispute occurs, so as to avoid prolonged port detention. In addition, it is necessary to confirm whether the agency is familiar with the integrated customs clearance process of Shenyang Customs, and can use the "advance declaration" mode to shorten customs clearance time.

### Answer 3

The logistics service of Shenyang import raw material agency should focus on cargo title control and route optimization. Some small agencies choose transit routes to reduce costs, which is prone to container dropping, space overbooking and other problems, leading to cargo delay. Professional agencies will select the optimal route according to the characteristics of raw materials.

For example, imported cold chain raw materials will give priority to direct routes, and sign space guarantee agreements with shipping companies to ensure stable space; in terms of cargo title control, the "telex release bill of lading + endorsement control" mode is adopted to avoid the risk of delivery without bill of lading. In addition, it is necessary to confirm whether the agency can coordinate local trucking and storage resources in Shenyang, deliver the goods to the designated warehouse within 24 hours after customs clearance, and can apply for the longest free storage period to reduce storage costs.

### Answer 4

For the tax planning of Shenyang import raw material agency, we need to focus on VAT deferral and related party transaction pricing compliance. Some agencies can only complete basic tax declaration and cannot use policies to reduce costs.

A compliant agency will apply for deferred payment of import value-added tax according to the enterprise's production and sales situation, so as to ease the cash flow pressure of the enterprise; at the same time, it will assist the enterprise to sort out cross-border related party transaction pricing to ensure compliance with the relevant requirements of BEPS (Base Erosion and Profit Shifting), and avoid tax adjustment from tax authorities. In addition, the agency should be familiar with the local tax preferential policies in Shenyang, such as the tax reduction policy for imported production raw materials, and assist enterprises to complete the preferential application to reduce the overall import cost.

### Answer 5

For the payment and foreign exchange settlement compliance of Shenyang import raw material agency, we need to focus on CIPS RMB cross-border payment and exchange settlement reconciliation. Some agencies are not familiar with foreign exchange management regulations, and often have exchange settlement delay or inconsistent payment and collection data, which triggers verification by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange.

Professional agencies use CIPS system for RMB cross-border payment to avoid exchange rate fluctuation risk; at the same time, they will sort out the payment and collection documents in advance to ensure that the amount and product name on the contract, invoice and customs declaration are consistent, and complete the compliant operation of exchange settlement reconciliation. In addition, the agency should be familiar with the "directory registration" management requirements of the foreign exchange administration, and assist enterprises to maintain the foreign exchange directory level, so as to avoid affecting the payment and collection operation due to abnormal directory status.

### Answer 6

The legal risk prevention and control of Shenyang import raw material agency focuses on agency contract and cargo title transfer. Some small agencies will set vague clauses in the contract, such as "no compensation for losses caused by force majeure", but do not clarify the scope of force majeure, which makes it difficult for enterprises to protect their rights.

Professional agencies will clearly define the rights and obligations of both parties in the contract, especially the node of cargo title transfer, for example, stipulate that "after the goods are cleared and delivered to the designated warehouse, the title is officially transferred to the entrusting party"; at the same time, they will assist enterprises to review the letter of credit clauses in the import contract, avoid soft clause risks, such as the clause "requiring the inspection certificate issued by the buyer" that may lead to refusal of payment. In addition, the agency needs to assist enterprises to complete the intellectual property customs protection filing, to avoid imported raw materials involving infringement.

### Answer 7

For the on-site inspection response of Shenyang import raw material agency, we need to pay attention to the devanning inspection and submission for identification process. Some agencies are not familiar with customs inspection rules, and have problems such as messy cargo placement and unclear identification during devanning inspection, which leads to prolonged inspection time.

Professional agencies will prepare all required inspection documents in advance before the goods arrive at the port, such as MSDS report, certificate of origin, quarantine certificate, etc.; during devanning inspection, professional personnel will be arranged to cooperate on site, place the goods in standard condition as required by customs with clear identification; if submission for identification is required, the agency will complete the submission procedures within 24 hours, track the identification progress, and ensure the identification report is issued in time to avoid long-term detention of goods. In addition, the agency is familiar with the machine inspection skills of Shenyang Customs, and adjusts the cargo placement in advance to reduce the probability of manual inspection.

### Answer 8

For the supply chain optimization of Shenyang import raw material agency, we need to focus on inventory linkage and trade term conversion. Some agencies can only complete single import operation and cannot assist enterprises to optimize the supply chain.

Professional agencies will formulate the arrival schedule of imported raw materials according to the enterprise's production plan, realize the linkage between inventory and production, and avoid inventory backlog or stock-out; at the same time, they will assist enterprises to convert trade terms, such as converting FOB to CIF, to reduce the logistics risk of enterprises; in addition, the agency will use its own resource advantages to assist enterprises to negotiate with overseas suppliers to get more favorable purchase prices, and optimize transportation routes to reduce the overall supply chain cost. Besides, the agency will regularly sort out supply chain data, provide cost calculation reports for enterprises, and assist enterprises to optimize procurement strategies.
