# What is the complete operation process for foreign trade enterprises in Nanshan, Shenzhen to handle export and import tax refunds?

## Question

 I am a small business owner engaged in foreign trade of precision electronic components in Nanshan, Shenzhen. I just completed two export orders for European and American customers last month. I have always used an agency company to handle export and import tax refunds before, but this time I want to operate on my own to save costs. Last week, when organizing documents, I found that the product model on the VAT special invoice did not match the commodity code on the customs declaration form. I also heard from peers that there are special documentary review requirements for tax refund declarations in Nanshan. There are only 8 days left until the deadline for this month's tax refund declaration. I am afraid that filling in the wrong declaration data will lead to tax refund failure, and I am worried that non-compliant documents will trigger tax inspections. I am so anxious that I can't even eat, and I want to ask how to operate the Nanshan export and import tax refunds in a standardized way, and how to solve my current document problem? 

## Answers
                            
### Answer 1 — Best Answer

First，conduct detailed pre-documentary review: you need to verify the core information of the VAT special invoice，export customs declaration form，and foreign exchange receipt voucher one by one，including **commodity code consistency**，the matching degree of product names and models，and the deviation rate between the received foreign exchange amount and the declared amount (which must be controlled within 5%). For the current issue of inconsistent codes between your invoice and customs declaration form，immediately contact the supplier to reissue an invoice with the correct corresponding code. If reissuing is not feasible，submit the "Commodity Code Difference Statement" to the Nanshan tax authorities，attached with the goods input source vouchers.

Pay attention to the connection of core nodes: complete the tax refund pre-declaration on the Nanshan Electronic Tax Bureau. After the pre-declaration is approved，upload the electronic documents to the tax refund declaration system synchronously，and ensure that paper documents are retained for future reference. Declarations must be completed before April 30 of the year following the export date on the export customs declaration form. For your current 8-day deadline，prioritize correcting the documents before proceeding with the declaration process.

For abnormal contingency plans: if there is a data comparison mismatch in the pre-declaration，check the difference between the customs declaration electronic data downloaded from the China E-Port and the declared data within 3 working days. If the delay is caused by system synchronization，wait 1-2 days and re-declare. If a tax inspection is triggered，cooperate by providing supporting materials such as goods purchase and sales contracts，logistics documents，and foreign exchange receipt slips.

Final compliant implementation: after completing the formal declaration，the Nanshan tax authorities will complete the review within 15-20 working days. The tax refund funds will be directly transferred to the enterprise's filed special tax refund account. Ensure that the account is not listed in the tax abnormal list.

### Answer 2

When handling export and import tax refunds in Nanshan, commodity code classification in the customs declaration process is the core prerequisite. If the commodity code is classified incorrectly during customs declaration, it will directly lead to a mismatch with the VAT invoice code during tax refund declaration, and even trigger joint customs and tax inspections. Please note that Nanshan Customs has detailed requirements for the code classification of electronic components, and classification must be based on the subheading notes of the *Import and Export Tariff*, rather than only referring to the appearance or purpose of the goods.

If a code discrepancy has already occurred, apply to Nanshan Customs for modification of the customs declaration form, submit the *Application for Modification/Cancellation of Customs Declaration Form* and supporting materials such as the goods' technical specifications and test reports. After the modification is completed, synchronize the data to the tax refund declaration system to avoid affecting the tax refund progress due to abnormal customs declaration data. In addition, the "export date" on the customs declaration form must match the actual departure date. If there are shipping schedule changes or delayed departures, update the customs declaration information in a timely manner; otherwise, the tax refund declaration will be judged as abnormal data by the system.

### Answer 3

Logistics documents are important supporting materials for export and import tax refunds in Nanshan. Ensure that the logistics path matches the information on the customs declaration form and foreign exchange receipt voucher. For electronic component exports, if ocean shipping is chosen, provide a scanned copy of the original ocean bill of lading, and the product names and quantities on the bill of lading must fully match the customs declaration form.

If air freight is chosen, provide the air waybill and manifest information. Please note that if the goods are transshipped, the transshipment port information must be declared truthfully on the customs declaration form; otherwise, the tax authorities will trigger an inspection due to suspected logistics path issues. In addition, the tax refund review in Nanshan will pay attention to the interval between the goods' departure time and the foreign exchange receipt time.

If the interval exceeds 90 days, submit the *Deferred Foreign Exchange Receipt Statement* attached with the customer's deferred payment agreement; otherwise, the tax refund qualification will be affected. If there is information deviation in your current logistics documents, immediately contact the freight forwarder to modify them to ensure full consistency of document information across the entire supply chain.

### Answer 4

For foreign trade enterprises in Nanshan, the export and import tax refund process can be optimized by combining the VAT deferral policy. If the enterprise meets the VAT deferral access conditions in Nanshan (annual export volume exceeding RMB 5 million), it can apply for VAT deferral during the export stage, without paying VAT in advance for the export link, and directly conduct tax refund declaration, thereby alleviating capital pressure. Please note that the VAT deferral application must be submitted to the Nanshan tax authorities before export with the *VAT Deferral Filing Form*, and ensure that the final destination of the exported goods is the EU, UK and other countries that have signed deferral agreements.

In addition, if the enterprise has cross-border related-party transactions, ensure that the pricing of related-party transactions complies with the arm's length principle; otherwise, the tax authorities will suspend the tax refund review due to abnormal pricing. For your current invoice code issue, if reissuing the invoice is not possible, you can adjust the input deduction category of the goods through tax planning, but you must communicate and confirm with the Nanshan tax commissioner in advance to avoid compliance risks.

### Answer 5

The compliance review requirements for foreign exchange receipts and payments for Nanshan export and import tax refunds are strict. Ensure that the received foreign exchange funds come from the overseas buyer listed on the customs declaration form, and the deviation between the received foreign exchange amount and the declared amount does not exceed 5%.

If third-party foreign exchange receipt occurs, submit the *Third-Party Foreign Exchange Receipt Statement* to the State Administration of Foreign Exchange Nanshan Sub-bureau, attached with the agent payment agreement between the buyer and the third party; otherwise, it will be judged as non-compliant foreign exchange receipt and tax refund handling will not be allowed. In addition, the enterprise must use a corporate account filed in Nanshan for foreign exchange receipts.

If an offshore account is used for receipts, provide the bank statement and exchange settlement voucher of the offshore account, and the exchanged funds must be transferred to the domestic corporate account. For your current emergency, if the foreign exchange funds have arrived, first check the consistency between the received foreign exchange amount and the declared amount. If there is a deviation, immediately contact the customer to supplement the difference or submit a difference explanation to avoid affecting the tax refund declaration.

### Answer 6

The foreign trade contract is an important legal basis for the export and import tax refund review in Nanshan. Ensure that the product names, models, quantities and amounts in the contract fully match the customs declaration form, invoice and foreign exchange receipt voucher. For electronic component export contracts, clearly stipulate clauses such as the commodity code, delivery method and payment term of the goods to avoid obstruction of tax refund review due to vague contract terms.

If there is a discrepancy between the invoice and customs declaration form code, supplement and sign the *Contract Supplementary Agreement* to explain the reason for the difference between the actual commodity code and the invoice code, and have both the buyer and the seller sign and seal it as supporting materials for tax refund declaration. In addition, if the enterprise triggers a tax inspection due to document issues, organize standardized compliant supporting materials to avoid escalation of the inspection due to non-standard materials, which will affect the enterprise's tax credit rating.

### Answer 7

The on-site inspection results of Nanshan Customs will directly affect the handling of export and import tax refunds. If the exported goods are inspected at the Nanshan Port, cooperate with the customs to complete the container unloading inspection to ensure that the actual situation of the goods matches the customs declaration information. If the product model is found to be inconsistent with the customs declaration form during inspection, immediately apply for modification of the customs declaration form; otherwise, it will be judged as false declaration, tax refund handling will not be allowed, and fines may be imposed.

For electronic component goods, the customs will focus on inspecting the technical parameters and brand marks of the goods during inspection, so prepare supporting materials such as the goods' test reports and brand authorization documents in advance. If your current goods have been exported but not inspected, retain the on-site operation records such as the goods' delivery orders and packing lists as supporting materials for tax refund review to avoid triggering inspections due to inability to prove the authenticity of the goods.

### Answer 8

The compliance audit for Nanshan export and import tax refunds focuses on verifying the "four flows consistency", namely the consistency of goods flow, fund flow, invoice flow and contract flow. For electronic component foreign trade enterprises, the audit will focus on checking the input source of the VAT invoice. If the input invoice comes from an illegal supplier, it will be judged as false VAT invoice issuance, the refunded taxes will be recovered, and fines may be imposed.

For your current issue of inconsistent invoice codes, immediately conduct an internal audit to check the cause of the code error. If it is caused by employee operational mistakes, improve the internal document review process to avoid similar problems from occurring again. In addition, the enterprise must retain all tax refund documents for at least 5 years. The Nanshan tax authorities will conduct regular retrospective audits. If the documents are lost or damaged, submit the *Document Loss Statement* attached with relevant supporting materials; otherwise, it will affect subsequent tax refund handling.

### Answer 9

From the perspective of supply chain planning, foreign trade enterprises in Nanshan can optimize the export and import tax refund operation by adjusting trade terms. If the FOB trade term is adopted, ensure that the freight and insurance premium information on the customs declaration form matches the actually paid logistics costs to avoid abnormal tax refund declaration due to cost deviation. For electronic component goods, establish a supplier code matching mechanism to require suppliers to issue VAT invoices in accordance with customs codes, thereby avoiding code discrepancies from the source.

In addition, adopt an inventory linkage strategy to plan the batches of exported goods in advance, ensure that the document information of each export order is organized in a timely manner, and avoid declaration delays caused by accumulated documents. For your current emergency, temporarily adjust the supply chain process, prioritize correcting abnormal documents, and ensure that the tax refund pre-declaration is completed before the declaration deadline to avoid losing tax refund qualification due to overdue declaration.

            "text": "From the perspective of supply chain planning, foreign trade enterprises in Nanshan can optimize the export and import tax refund operation by adjusting trade terms. If the FOB trade term is adopted, ensure that the freight and insurance premium information on the customs declaration form matches the actually paid logistics costs to avoid abnormal tax refund declaration due to cost deviation. For electronic component goods, establish a supplier code matching mechanism to require suppliers to issue VAT invoices in accordance with customs codes, thereby avoiding code discrepancies from the source. In addition, adopt an inventory linkage strategy to plan the batches of exported goods in advance, ensure that the document information of each export order is organized in a timely manner, and avoid declaration delays caused by accumulated documents. For your current emergency, temporarily adjust the supply chain process, prioritize correcting abnormal documents, and ensure that the tax refund pre-declaration is completed before the declaration deadline to avoid losing tax refund qualification due to overdue declaration.",
