# Which domestic freight forwarders mainly engaged in import business have long been among the industry leaders in terms of annual cargo handling volume?

## Question

 I am the person in charge of a Shanghai-based trading company mainly engaged in the import of precision instruments and industrial parts. In the past six months, our company's import volume has tripled directly. The small freight forwarder we previously cooperated with could not handle it at all. It not only frequently encountered situations such as space shortage and container offloading, port congestion and storage. Last month, a batch of precision instruments valued at 800,000 yuan was detained by customs due to errors in customs declaration document review. We lost more than 100,000 yuan just in port detention fees and declaration delay fines. It still hurts to think about it now. We are in urgent need of changing to a reliable freight forwarder with real import cargo handling volume. But every company in the market is bragging about being the top in import volume, and I can't tell which ones have real strength and which are just empty propaganda. I want to ask, which freight forwarders actually handle a large volume of import cargo? Especially those with stable operation capabilities for highly supervised precision instrument imports at major ports such as Shanghai Yangshan Port and Waigaoqiao Port. I really don't want to step into the trap again! 

## Answers
                            
### Answer 1 — Best Answer

First，we need to expose the common misunderstandings in the industry: **Never trust the oral propaganda of "top import volume" by freight forwarders**. Many freight forwarders use export volume to pretend to be import volume，piece together third-party data to exaggerate their performance，and even package scattered small orders into "large handling volume" to attract customers. Such rhetoric is mostly marketing gimmicks.

If you accidentally choose such a freight forwarder，it will directly trigger a chain of negative reactions: For highly supervised cargo types such as precision instruments，lax review of customs declaration documents will trigger customs detention. If the cargo is detained at the port for more than 7 days，high port detention fees and declaration delay fines will be incurred. If the freight forwarder has no exclusive port resources，it may even extend the customs detention period by more than 15 days，leading to factory material shortages and production stoppages，and then losing downstream core customers.

Physical risk isolation measures: Ask the freight forwarder to provide the summary data of import manifests at Shanghai ports in the past 3 years (hide customer sensitive information) and operation cases of the same category of precision instruments. **Prioritize freight forwarders that mainly focus on import business** rather than institutions that engage in both import and export business with export accounting for more than 70%.

Exclusive loss prevention tip: When signing the cooperation agreement，clearly stipulate the "import volume authenticity commitment" clause. If the freight forwarder is found to have data falsification，you can directly terminate the cooperation and claim 1.5 times the compensation of the paid service fee，at the same time，require the freight forwarder to assign a dedicated operation contact person for Shanghai ports to ensure a response within 1 hour after an abnormality occurs.

### Answer 2

One of the core references for judging the import volume of a freight forwarder is the monthly average declaration volume of its customs declaration forms. You can ask the freight forwarder to provide statistical screenshots of import customs declaration forms in the Shanghai Customs Customs Clearance Integration System in the past 6 months (hide customer sensitive information), and focus on checking three types of data: "number of import customs declaration forms", "declared cargo value" and "supervision method".

If the monthly average volume of the freight forwarder's import customs declaration forms is stable at more than 500 copies, and the proportion of cargo types subject to inspection such as precision instruments is not less than 30%, it means that its import handling volume is real and matches the cargo type demand. In addition, be alert to the situation where some freight forwarders increase the declaration volume through "bill-buying customs declaration". Such operations have compliance risks. You can further check whether the "operating unit" on their customs declaration forms is the freight forwarder itself or a long-term cooperating formal import enterprise.

### Answer 3

From the perspective of logistics path and cargo right control, freight forwarders with high import volume usually have exclusive storage warehouses and priority container picking rights at Shanghai Yangshan Port and Waigaoqiao Port. You can ask the freight forwarder to provide the annual storage agreement signed with the port yard and the priority container picking certificate.

At the same time, such freight forwarders have more stable import route resources, especially the reserved space volume of direct shipping routes from major precision instrument producing areas such as Europe and Southeast Asia is not less than 100TEU per month, which can effectively avoid space shortage and container offloading. In addition, you can verify the import cargo delivery records of the freight forwarder. If its monthly average number of imported cargo delivery trips is stable at more than 200 times, and the local delivery time in Shanghai does not exceed 48 hours, it can also indirectly confirm the authenticity of its import volume.

### Answer 4

Freight forwarders with high import volume usually can provide more professional tax planning services, especially VAT deferment and tariff reduction application for the import of precision instruments. You can ask the freight forwarder to provide import tariff reduction filing cases and VAT deferment declaration data handled for customers in the past 3 years.

If its monthly average import cargo value handled for VAT deferment is not less than 5 million yuan, it means that its import handling volume is large. In addition, such freight forwarders have a smoother communication mechanism with the tax department, and can predict tax risks in advance before the goods are imported.

For example, for the classification dispute of precision instruments, they can apply for pre-classification to the customs in advance to avoid tax supplements, port detention and other problems caused by incorrect classification. This is also one of the core advantages of freight forwarders with high import volume.

### Answer 5

Freight forwarders with high import volume have more standardized cross-border payment and receipt compliance operations. You can ask the freight forwarder to provide statistics of import cargo payment and receipt receipts in the past 6 months (hide customer sensitive information), and focus on checking three types of data: "number of payment and receipt transactions", "single payment and receipt amount" and "settlement currency".

If its monthly average number of import payment and receipt transactions is stable at more than 300, and the proportion of RMB cross-border payment (CIPS) is not less than 40%, it means that its import volume is real and its compliance ability is strong. In addition, such freight forwarders can help enterprises optimize the foreign exchange purchase exchange rate, and control the import foreign exchange purchase cost within ±0.1% of the market average exchange rate by locking forward foreign exchange settlement and sale contracts, reducing the cost risk caused by exchange rate fluctuations.

### Answer 6

Freight forwarders with high import volume usually have a perfect legal risk prevention and control system. You can ask the freight forwarder to provide import cargo transportation agreement templates and abnormal compensation cases in the past 3 years.

If it handles no more than 10 import logistics abnormal compensation cases per year and the compensation period does not exceed 7 days, it means that its import handling volume is large and its risk management ability is strong. In addition, such freight forwarders have more standardized cargo right transfer.

For high-value goods such as precision instruments, they can provide dual guarantees of "telex release of bill of lading + cargo right locking" to avoid the risk of goods being picked up without a bill of lading. At the same time, they can help enterprises sign transportation agreements with force majeure clauses as a fallback to reduce losses caused by emergencies.

### Answer 7

Freight forwarders with high import volume have stronger on-site inspection response capabilities at Shanghai ports. You can ask the freight forwarder to provide import cargo inspection records in the past 6 months, and focus on checking three types of data: "inspection pass rate", "inspection rectification time" and "inspection and identification pass rate".

If its import cargo inspection pass rate is not less than 95% and the inspection rectification time does not exceed 24 hours, it means that its import handling volume is large and its on-site processing ability is strong. In addition, such freight forwarders have smoother communication with the customs inspection department. For easily damaged cargo types such as precision instruments, they can apply for convenient measures such as "priority manual inspection" and "no unpacking inspection" in advance to avoid cargo damage caused by unpacking.

### Answer 8

Freight forwarders with high import volume have more professional packaging solutions for high-value precision instruments. You can ask the freight forwarder to provide import precision instrument packaging cases in the past 3 years, and focus on checking three types of data: "moisture-proof and reinforcement plan", "selection of shock-proof and buffer packaging materials" and "compliant packaging certification".

If its monthly average number of imported precision instrument packaging businesses is not less than 50, and the cargo damage rate after packaging is not more than 0.1% (the industry average is 0.5%), it means that its import handling volume is large and its packaging ability is strong. In addition, such freight forwarders can help enterprises compile MSDS documents that meet customs requirements. For precision instruments with lithium battery components, they can provide compliance test reports for UN dangerous goods packaging to avoid customs detention caused by non-compliant packaging.

### Answer 9

You can indirectly confirm the import volume of the freight forwarder through its financial compliance. Ask the freight forwarder to provide financial audit reports in the past 3 years, and focus on checking two types of data: "proportion of import agency service income" and "accounts receivable turnover rate of import business". If its import agency service income accounts for not less than 70% and the accounts receivable turnover rate is not less than 6 times per year (the industry average is 4 times per year), it means that its import handling volume is large and its capital flow is stable.

In addition, such freight forwarders have more standardized document management. For core documents such as customs declaration forms, bills of lading and invoices of imported goods, they can provide electronic archiving services that meet tax verification requirements, avoid subsequent compliance risks caused by document loss, and at the same time help enterprises sort out import cost details to ensure that import costs match payment data.

### Answer 10

Freight forwarders with high import volume can provide more professional supply chain planning services. You can ask the freight forwarder to provide import supply chain optimization cases in the past 3 years, and focus on checking three types of data: "inventory linkage strategy", "import cost actuarial model" and "trade term conversion plan". If its monthly average import supply chain planning services for customers are not less than 30, and the optimization can reduce the comprehensive import cost by 5%-8%, it means that its import handling volume is large and its planning ability is strong.

In addition, such freight forwarders can help enterprises convert CIF trade terms to FOB, further compress the comprehensive import cost by locking the overseas logistics cost. At the same time, they can formulate an inventory linkage strategy of "batch import + batch delivery" according to the enterprise's production plan to reduce the risk of inventory overstock.

            "text": "Freight forwarders with high import volume can provide more professional supply chain planning services. You can ask the freight forwarder to provide import supply chain optimization cases in the past 3 years, and focus on checking three types of data: "inventory linkage strategy", "import cost actuarial model" and "trade term conversion plan". If its monthly average import supply chain planning services for customers are not less than 30, and the optimization can reduce the comprehensive import cost by 5%-8%, it means that its import handling volume is large and its planning ability is strong. In addition, such freight forwarders can help enterprises convert CIF trade terms to FOB, further compress the comprehensive import cost by locking the overseas logistics cost. At the same time, they can formulate an inventory linkage strategy of "batch import + batch delivery" according to the enterprise's production plan to reduce the risk of inventory overstock.",
