# How to Implement Full-Link Risk Control for Transshipment Trade to Avoid Port Detention, Customs Seizure and Huge Capital Loss?

## Question

 I am a foreign trade practitioner engaged in the export of hardware and building materials. When I tried transshipment trade last year, due to problems in document handover, the goods were detained at Port Klang, Malaysia for 12 days. I not only paid 80,000 RMB in liquidated damages to the customer, but also was interviewed by the local customs, almost leaving a blemish on my compliance record. Now I have 3 orders from Middle East customers, which must be transported via transshipment due to sanction restrictions. I am afraid of problems such as customs seizure and port detention again, and also want to make profits through tax differences and exchange rate spreads, but I have no clue about the compliance details, cost optimization and risk control of transshipment trade at all. I have suffered from insomnia every day recently, and I just want to ask how to do a good job in transshipment trade, so that I can implement it compliantly, control risks and increase returns at the same time? 

## Answers
                            
### Answer 1 — Best Answer

Many transshipment trade practitioners have a fatal misconception: they believe that simply switching the bill of lading at the transshipment port is enough to complete the operation，completely ignoring the transit compliance requirements of the transshipment country，and even forging certificates of origin and modifying cargo descriptions to deceive the customs. Once such operations are detected by the customs of the transshipment country or the importing country，it will directly lead to port detention and customs seizure of goods. At best，it will incur container detention fees and fines several times the value of the goods，at worst，the goods will be confiscated，and even the enterprise will be included in the trade blacklist of the importing country，resulting in all subsequent orders failing to clear customs normally，and capital accounts may also be frozen on suspicion of violations.

The core measure for physical risk isolation is to select **neutral transshipment ports** (such as Singapore and Port Klang，Malaysia). Such ports have mature transshipment supervision systems and transparent transit procedures，and adopt the third-party warehouse receipt switching mode to avoid direct exposure of cargo title in the transshipment country. In addition，**document consistency review** must be completed in advance: ensure that the cargo description，quantity and header of the transit permit of the transshipment country，third-party certificate of origin，transshipment bill of lading and commercial invoice are fully matched，and no logical contradictions are allowed.

Exclusive stop-loss tips: sign a **port detention stop-loss agreement** when cooperating with the agency，stipulating that if the goods are detained at the port for more than 7 days，the agency shall be responsible for transferring the goods to the backup transshipment port free of charge or arranging return shipment. At the same time，purchase cross-border freight insurance with additional "transshipment risk coverage" to cover cargo value losses and extra expenses caused by customs seizure and port detention，so as to control the maximum loss of a single order within 10% of the cargo value.

### Answer 2

When declaring transshipment trade for customs, special attention shall be paid to the consistency of HS codes between the transshipment port and the destination port. If the code difference is too large, it will trigger the customs' "origin traceability" warning. In addition, the transit customs declaration form of the transshipment country must be marked with "transshipment only", and must fully match the cargo volume and cargo description of the inbound and outbound manifests. If the customs declaration data does not match the manifest, the customs of the transshipment country will directly detain the goods temporarily. In this case, the and the third-party warehousing agreement shall be submitted within 3 working days to apply for re-audit, so as to avoid entering the formal customs seizure process. At the same time, the transit certification document of the transshipment port shall be provided when declaring customs at the destination port, and the original certificate of origin shall not be used directly, otherwise it will be judged as evading trade control and face heavy fines.

### Answer 3

Cargo title control is the core of transshipment trade. You shall select transshipment port logistics service providers that adopt the "manifest separation" mode, that is, the goods directly enter the bonded warehouse after arriving at the port and do not enter the general supervision area of the transshipment country, so as to avoid being included in the general trade supervision by the local customs. In addition, the bill of lading endorsement shall adopt the double endorsement mode of "blank indorsement" plus "to the order of transshipment agent" to ensure that only the designated agent can pick up the goods and prevent loss of control over cargo title. In case of abnormal situations such as container rollover and full cabin, the shall be signed with the logistics service provider in advance, stipulating that backup space shall be arranged within 48 hours. At the same time, the application for free storage period shall be submitted 72 hours before the arrival of the goods to avoid extra port detention fees. In addition, try to choose routes with direct sailing to the transshipment port, reduce the number of transshipments, and reduce the risk of cargo damage and delay.

### Answer 4

The tax planning of transshipment trade shall focus on the VAT deferral policy of the transshipment country, such as Singapore's "VAT exemption for transshipment trade" policy. As long as the goods are not consumed in Singapore, you can apply for VAT exemption without paying 10% import VAT. At the same time, tax differences between different countries shall be utilized, for example, profits shall be retained in low-tax offshore accounts to avoid declaring and paying taxes in high-tax countries. In addition, attention shall be paid to the rationality of related party transaction pricing, which shall comply with the "arm's length principle", that is, the deviation from the transaction price of non-related parties shall not exceed 10%, otherwise it will be identified as profit shifting by the tax authority and trigger tax inspection. In addition, handle the in advance to ensure the logical consistency between capital receipt and payment and tax declaration, so as to avoid being listed as a risky account due to mismatch between capital flow and cargo flow.

### Answer 5

The collection and payment of foreign exchange for transshipment trade shall adopt "cross-border RMB settlement" or "SWIFT MT799 message", and ordinary MT103 messages shall be avoided to prevent being judged as suspicious transactions by the bank. In addition, complete transaction vouchers shall be retained for capital receipt and payment of offshore accounts, including transshipment bill of lading, transit permit, commercial invoice, etc. The capital flow of each transaction shall fully match the cargo flow and document flow, that is, "three flows are consistent". If the bank triggers a capital monitoring warning, the and a full set of documents shall be submitted within 3 working days to apply for lifting the warning. In addition, avoid using personal offshore accounts to receive and pay transshipment trade funds, use offshore accounts in the name of the company, and open the account in the transshipment country or a neutral country to reduce the risk of being sanctioned.

### Answer 6

The transshipment trade contract shall specify the "transit exemption clause", stipulating that if the goods are detained or seized by the customs due to the supervision of the transshipment country, the transshipment agent shall bear extra expenses such as container detention fees and fines, except for losses caused by false documents provided by the cargo owner. In addition, "soft clauses" shall be avoided in the letter of credit terms, for example, it shall not be stipulated that "a certificate of no objection from the destination port customs is required", otherwise it will lead to failure to settle foreign exchange smoothly. At the same time, handle the to ensure that when switching the bill of lading at the transshipment port, the cargo title can be smoothly transferred from the original seller to the final buyer, so as to avoid cargo title disputes. In addition, screen the trade sanction list of the country where the final buyer is located in advance to ensure that the buyer is not on the sanction list, so as to avoid the goods being seized by the destination port customs and the capital being frozen.

### Answer 7

When transshipment trade goods are inspected at the transshipment port, it shall be ensured that the packaging and shipping marks of the goods are fully consistent with the transshipment bill of lading. The shipping mark shall not have the identification of the original place of origin, such as "Made in China", which shall be covered or replaced with a neutral shipping mark of the transshipment country. If the customs requires unpacking inspection, arrange the agent's on-site inspection specialist to be present in advance to cooperate with the customs inspection, and do not open the box or adjust the position of the goods without permission. If the customs doubts the origin of the goods, provide the issued by a third-party testing institution to prove that the goods are only transshipped at the transshipment port without any processing. In addition, understand the inspection rate of the transshipment port in advance. If the inspection rate exceeds 30%, replace the transshipment port or adjust the route to avoid delay of shipping schedule.

### Answer 8

Transshipment trade is not within the scope of export tax refund, so transshipment trade goods shall not be declared as general trade export, otherwise it will trigger tax correspondence verification, resulting in the suspension of the enterprise's export tax refund qualification. In addition, transshipment trade documents shall be filed separately, including transshipment bill of lading, transit permit, commercial invoice, capital receipt and payment vouchers, etc. The filing period shall not be less than 5 years for inspection by tax authorities.

If the enterprise carries out both general trade and transshipment trade at the same time, the capital flow, cargo flow and document flow of the two types of business shall be completely separated, and accounts or documents shall not be mixed, otherwise it will be judged as false declaration and face heavy fines. In addition, self-inspect the transaction data of transshipment trade every month to ensure the consistency and compliance of data, so as to avoid triggering tax warning due to data errors.

### Answer 9

The supply chain planning of transshipment trade shall adopt the "dual transshipment port backup strategy", that is, select two neutral transshipment ports as backups at the same time, such as Singapore and Port Klang, Malaysia. If supervision is tightened or the cabin is full at one of the ports, you can switch to the backup port immediately. In addition, optimize the inventory linkage strategy, store the goods in the bonded warehouse of the transshipment port in advance, and arrange transshipment directly after receiving the buyer's order, so as to shorten the transit time and reduce the risk of port detention.

At the same time, adopt the trade term conversion of "CIF to FOB" to transfer the transportation responsibility of the goods to the transshipment agent and reduce your own logistics risks. In addition, establish a cost actuarial model, calculate the logistics fees, taxes, insurance fees and other costs of the transshipment port in real time, adjust the quotation in combination with exchange rate spread and tax difference, and ensure that the profit margin of each order is no less than 15%.

            "text": "The supply chain planning of transshipment trade shall adopt the &quot;dual transshipment port backup strategy&quot;, that is, select two neutral transshipment ports as backups at the same time, such as Singapore and Port Klang, Malaysia. If supervision is tightened or the cabin is full at one of the ports, you can switch to the backup port immediately. In addition, optimize the inventory linkage strategy, store the goods in the bonded warehouse of the transshipment port in advance, and arrange transshipment directly after receiving the buyer&#039;s order, so as to shorten the transit time and reduce the risk of port detention. At the same time, adopt the trade term conversion of &quot;CIF to FOB&quot; to transfer the transportation responsibility of the goods to the transshipment agent and reduce your own logistics risks. In addition, establish a cost actuarial model, calculate the logistics fees, taxes, insurance fees and other costs of the transshipment port in real time, adjust the quotation in combination with exchange rate spread and tax difference, and ensure that the profit margin of each order is no less than 15%.",
