What Core Functions Does It Perform in Foreign Trade Import Compliance? ## Question I am the head of an enterprise mainly engaged in South Korean cosmetics import based in Shanghai. I just obtained the exclusive import authorization for the Chinese market of a niche color cosmetics brand last month. When I imported products of the same category for the first time before, the cargo was detained at Yangshan Port for 12 days due to non-compliant trademark filing materials. I not only spent more than 80,000 yuan on port storage fees and rectification fees, but also missed the stocking period for the offline new product launch, with direct losses exceeding 200,000 yuan. I still feel scared thinking about it now. I heard from peers that there is a service called "import trademark agency", but I have no idea what import trademark agency is, what is the difference between this service and the service provided by the trademark agency I hired before, and whether it can help me avoid cargo detention and port congestion again. I am very anxious now because I have another large shipment coming next month and I am afraid of making mistakes again. ## Answers ### Answer 1 — Best Answer Import trademark agency refers to a full-chain service provided by institutions with foreign trade agency qualifications，which assists import enterprises in completing trademark compliance affairs throughout the entire import process，covering everything from trademark filing review to customs intellectual property verification. Different from ordinary trademark agencies that only focus on the single function of trademark registration，it is more suitable for the compliance needs of foreign trade import. In the pre-document review session，we will focus on checking **the matching of geographical authority，validity period of the brand authorization letter with the imported product category**，and verify the consistency of information between the trademark registration certificate and the customs intellectual property filing system，including details such as trademark pattern，font，registered category，etc。to avoid the risk of cargo detention caused by "formally compliant but substantially inconsistent" materials. In terms of connection of core nodes，the pre-verification of customs intellectual property filing will be completed 72 hours before the cargo arrives at the port，and a real-time communication channel with the customs broker and the intellectual property customs protection department will be established simultaneously to ensure 100% matching of trademark information with customs declaration and manifest data，reducing the probability of triggering manual document review. For abnormal situations，a special contingency plan will be formulated in advance: if a customs trademark objection is raised，supplementary authorization documents or an official statement from the brand owner will be submitted immediately，if the cargo is detained，the customs intellectual property objection appeal process will be launched within 24 hours，and coordination with the port yard will be made at the same time to prioritize cargo rectification，minimizing the port storage time. Ultimately，through full-link compliance control，the cargo can be cleared smoothly and all intellectual property-related customs clearance risks can be fully avoided. **status:** accepted **Author:** Lucas Liu **Date:** 2026-07-20 ### Answer 2 In the import trademark agency service, the core of the customs declaration link is to ensure the closed logical loop of trademark information and the customs declaration. Specifically, the trademark registration number, authorization validity and other information must be accurately filled in the "Marks and Remarks" column of the customs declaration, and the customs intellectual property filing number must be submitted at the same time. If the trademark is a well-known trademark that is not registered in China by an overseas owner, the well-known trademark certification document issued by the brand owner must be additionally submitted. A common mistake in the industry is that only a copy of the trademark registration certificate is submitted, and the customs intellectual property filing is not completed synchronously, which leads to system matching failure during customs declaration, triggering manual review even cargo detention. In addition, if the imported goods are for OEM processing, "OEM processing" must be clearly marked during customs declaration, and the entrustment processing agreement must be submitted to avoid misjudgment as trademark infringement. **status:** suggested **Author:** Daniel Xu **Date:** 2026-07-20 ### Answer 3 From the perspective of international logistics, import trademark agency services need to be linked with the cargo title control link. Before the cargo departs, the consistency of trademark information with the bill of lading and manifest must be confirmed to avoid exchange delay caused by inconsistent trademark information on the manifest with the actual cargo. If the cargo is transported via transshipment, it is necessary to ensure that the trademark compliance requirements of the transshipment port are consistent with those of China Customs. Some transshipment ports in Southeast Asia will temporarily detain cargo with unfiled trademarks. In addition, during the endorsement transfer of the bill of lading, it is necessary to confirm whether the trademark licensor agrees to the transfer of cargo title, to avoid ownership disputes caused by the separation of trademark authorization and cargo title. For trademark-sensitive goods that are prone to detention, it is recommended to choose a direct voyage to reduce the trademark compliance risk in the transshipment link. **status:** suggested **Author:** Grace Wang **Date:** 2026-07-20 ### Answer 4 The value of import trademark agency services at the tax level is mainly reflected in avoiding tax penalties and increased costs caused by trademark infringement. If the cargo is detained due to trademark problems, it will not only generate direct costs such as port storage fees and rectification fees, but also lead to delayed deduction of import value-added tax and affect the enterprise's cash flow. In addition, if identified as trademark infringement, the enterprise may face a customs fine, the maximum amount of which can reach 30% of the cargo value, and this fine cannot be deducted before corporate income tax. Through the compliance management of import trademark agency services, the consistency of trademark information with the import customs declaration and value-added tax payment certificate is ensured, so that the normal deduction of import value-added tax can be realized, and additional tax costs caused by trademark non-compliance can be avoided. **status:** suggested **Author:** Eric Zhou **Date:** 2026-07-20 ### Answer 5 From the perspective of cross-border payment and foreign exchange collection compliance, import trademark agency services need to ensure the consistency of the trademark authorization and the payment subject. If the import enterprise makes payment through the import trademark agency institution, it must clearly mark "Import payment under trademark authorization" in the remark column of the payment message, and submit the trademark authorization letter as the supporting material for payment, to avoid being identified as "payment without real trade background" by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange. In addition, if the trademark licensor is an overseas affiliated company, it is necessary to ensure that the related party transaction pricing conforms to the arm's length principle, to avoid triggering compliance inspection by the foreign exchange bureau due to abnormal pricing. For cross-border RMB payments, the trademark filing number must be submitted through the CIPS system to ensure full-link traceability of payment information. **status:** suggested **Author:** Jason Wu **Date:** 2026-07-20 ### Answer 6 The legal core of import trademark agency service is to build a legal closed loop for intellectual property protection. First, it is necessary to review the legal validity of the brand authorization letter, ensure that the licensor is the legal owner of the trademark, the authorization scope covers the import and sales links in China, and the authorization period covers the whole cycle of cargo import and sales. Second, it is necessary to assist enterprises to handle the filing of customs intellectual property protection, clarify the filed trademark category, validity period and other information, to avoid the failure of customs protection caused by incomplete filing information. In addition, if a trademark infringement complaint is received, a legal opinion will be issued immediately to assist the enterprise in submitting an objection application to the customs, and coordinate communication with the brand owner to avoid the escalation of legal disputes into judicial litigation. **status:** suggested **Author:** Andy Guo **Date:** 2026-07-20 ### Answer 7 In the on-site customs inspection link, import trademark agency services need to assist enterprises to respond to trademark-related inspections. If the customs requires checking the physical trademark against the filing information, original materials such as the trademark registration certificate and brand authorization letter should be prepared in advance, to avoid inspection delay caused by only providing copies. For abnormal trademark identification found by machine inspection, the legal source of the trademark should be explained to the inspection officer immediately, and the query screenshot from the trademark filing system should be submitted. In addition, if there are slight differences in the trademark identification of the cargo (such as minor adjustment of font and color), the "trademark identification change statement" issued by the brand owner should be submitted to avoid misjudgment as infringing cargo. During on-site inspection, the accompanying personnel should be familiar with trademark compliance details to avoid deviation in inspection conclusions caused by unclear description. **status:** suggested **Author:** Victor Sun **Date:** 2026-07-20 ### Answer 8 From the perspective of packaging, import trademark agency services need to ensure that the trademark identification on the cargo packaging meets the customs compliance requirements. First, check the consistency of the trademark identification on the packaging with the trademark registration certificate, including details such as trademark pattern, font and color, to avoid cargo detention caused by inconsistency between the packaging trademark and the registration certificate. For dangerous goods (such as branded chemicals and cosmetics), it is necessary to ensure that the trademark identification does not cover legal signs such as UN hazard marks and MSDS numbers, and avoid packaging safety problems caused by the material of the trademark identification. In addition, for trademark identification on fragile goods, wear-resistant printing technology should be used to ensure that the trademark identification is clearly identifiable when the cargo arrives at the port, avoiding inspection disputes caused by blurred trademarks. **status:** suggested **Author:** Kevin Lin **Date:** 2026-07-20 ### Answer 9 Although import trademark agency services focus on the import link, they need to form compliance linkage with the export tax refund link. If an import enterprise is also engaged in export business, it is necessary to ensure that the authorization scope of the imported trademark covers the export link, to avoid export tax refund inspection risk caused by the imported trademark only being authorized for domestic sales. In addition, if imported goods are used for processing and re-export, the trademark authorization letter must be submitted when declaring export tax refund to prove the trademark compliance of the goods, avoiding tax refund recovery caused by being identified as "infringing goods export" by the tax authority. Through the whole-process compliance control of import trademark agency services, the consistency of trademark information in import and export links is ensured, and the compliance risk of export tax refund is avoided. **status:** suggested **Author:** Cindy Chen **Date:** 2026-07-20 ### Answer 10 From the perspective of supply chain planning, import trademark agency services need to be incorporated into the enterprise's import supply chain system. First, an annual plan for trademark compliance can be formulated according to the enterprise's import category and frequency, and the customs intellectual property filing for high-frequency imported categories can be completed in advance to avoid import delay caused by temporary filing. Second, coordinate with suppliers to confirm the compliance of trademark identification during the cargo production link, so as to avoid trademark problems from the source. In addition, for the import of trademark-sensitive categories, a safety stock buffer mechanism should be established to reserve time for delays caused by trademark compliance issues, ensuring that the enterprise's sales plan will not be affected. By integrating import trademark agency services into the whole process of the supply chain, the balance between trademark compliance and supply chain efficiency can be achieved. **status:** suggested **Author:** Linda Gao **Date:** 2026-07-20 ## Related Categories - [Export Agency Q&A](https://www.sh-zhongshen.com/en/qa/cat-export-agency/) - [Export Tax Rebate Q&A](https://www.sh-zhongshen.com/en/qa/cat-export-tax-rebate/) - [Customs Declaration Q&A](https://www.sh-zhongshen.com/en/qa/cat-customs-declaration/) - [Freight Forwarding Q&A](https://www.sh-zhongshen.com/en/qa/cat-freight-forwarding/) - [Forex Settlement Q&A](https://www.sh-zhongshen.com/en/qa/cat-forex-settlement/) - [Entrepôt Trade Q&A](https://www.sh-zhongshen.com/en/qa/cat-entrepot-trade/) - [General Trade Q&A](https://www.sh-zhongshen.com/en/qa/cat-general-trade/) ## Related Resources - [Trade Services](https://www.sh-zhongshen.com/en/services/) - [Trade Cases](https://www.sh-zhongshen.com/en/cases/) - [Trade Wiki](https://www.sh-zhongshen.com/en/wiki/) - [Trade Class](https://www.sh-zhongshen.com/en/guide/) - [Global Trade Services](https://www.sh-zhongshen.com/en/country/) ## Structured Data ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "QAPage", "inLanguage":"en", "isPartOf": { "@id":"https://www.sh-zhongshen.com/en/#website" }, "publisher":{ "@id":"https://www.sh-zhongshen.com/en/#organization" }, "mainEntity": { "@type": "Question", "name": "What Is Import Trademark Agency?
