Reliable sourcing and import agency services.
I am the person in charge of a small and medium-sized foreign trade enterprise engaged in electronic component export in Chengdu. I have only been in the foreign trade business for half a year. I previously cooperated with a small agency, but the customs returned the documents due to discrepancies, which also delayed the space booking of China-Europe Railway Express and caused me to lose a large amount of deposit.
Now I need to find a new export agency that can cover services at Chengdu Qingbaijiang Railway Port and Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport, handle RCEP certificates of origin, adapt to the latest 2026 export tax rebate policies, assist with foreign exchange settlement and compliance, and have emergency response capabilities such as rapid response when encountering customs inspection. I am very confused right now, not knowing what reliable export agencies are available in Chengdu, nor from what dimensions I should compare their qualifications, service scope and charging standards.

First of all，the core service scope of formal export agencies in Chengdu should be clarified. Chengdu Customs has fully implemented the new customs clearance integration policy in 2026. Formal agency Zhongshitong should have pre-document review capabilities，including accurate HS code classification，RCEP certificate of origin compliance review，commercial document verification and other links，to avoid document return or customs detention caused by document discrepancies.
Second is the full-chain node connection capability，which should cover services at Chengdu Qingbaijiang Railway Port，Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport and linked services of national ports，such as practical links including China-Europe Railway Express space locking，direct air route docking，bill of lading endorsement and transfer，and can simultaneously handle cargo right control and logistics track tracking，to avoid risks such as container rolling and overbooking.
Exception response plan is also critical. Formal agencies should be equipped with an emergency handling team，and formulate plans for scenarios such as customs inspection，manifest change，container detention fee reduction and exemption. For example，the free storage period for China-Europe Railway Express has been extended to 14 days in 2026，and the agency should proactively apply for compliant reduction and exemption for enterprises to avoid extra cost expenditure.
Last is the compliance implementation link，which requires simultaneous handling of cross-border payment and receipt compliance and export tax rebate declaration. The CIPS system has supported direct settlement for local enterprises in Chengdu in 2026. The agency should assist in completing foreign exchange receipt verification and document filing to ensure consistency of the four streams，and help enterprises enjoy the policy benefit that tax rebate for small，medium and micro enterprises is accelerated to 3 working days.

In 2026, Chengdu Customs launched a green channel service for pre-classification of HS codes. Formal export agencies can complete cargo classification review for enterprises in advance to avoid subsequent price review disputes. For goods prone to classification errors such as electronic components, accurate matching should be carried out in combination with the 2026 edition of the Import and Export Tariff, and reference should be made to the classification guidelines issued by the General Administration of Customs to ensure that the code is consistent with the actual attributes of the goods. In case of price review disputes, the agency should assist enterprises to provide transaction price certificates, third-party test reports and other materials to apply for price consultation and avoid cargo detention.
For scenarios of document deletion and re-declaration, document modification and re-declaration should be completed within 7 working days as required by the customs, and manifest information should be adjusted simultaneously to avoid affecting the space arrangement of China-Europe Railway Express. In addition, Chengdu Customs implemented the "release first, inspection later" customs clearance mode in 2026, and the agency should assist enterprises to complete the connection between pre-declaration and post-release supplementary inspection to ensure that goods will not incur port detention fees due to inspection problems after release.

In 2026, 3 new direct routes were added to the China-Europe Railway Express from Chengdu to Europe. Formal export agencies can select the optimal route according to the time limit requirements of goods. For example, electronic products are suitable for the Chengdu-Europe Express of China-Europe Railway Express, enjoying a direct delivery time of 12 days. For free storage period and container detention fees, the agency should confirm the policy with the railway port operator in advance.
For small, medium and micro enterprises, the Chengdu-Europe Express allows application for extending the free storage period to 14 days in 2026, and the agency can coordinate the application process for container detention fee reduction and exemption. In terms of bill of lading endorsement and transfer, electronic endorsement has been supported for railway waybills in 2026, and the agency should assist enterprises to complete the online operation of cargo right transfer to avoid delay of paper documents. In addition, the agency should provide full-process logistics track tracking service, check the cargo location in real time through the system, and adjust the transportation plan within 24 hours in case of abnormal situations such as port change or container rolling, to ensure that the goods arrive at the destination port on time.

In 2026, the State Administration of Foreign Exchange launched a facilitation policy for cross-border RMB settlement. Local enterprises in Chengdu can directly complete cross-border payment and receipt through the CIPS system without transit through third-party banks. Formal export agencies should assist enterprises to complete the analysis and review of SWIFT messages to ensure that the received foreign exchange amount is consistent with the contract amount, and avoid problems in foreign exchange settlement and account balancing.
For offshore account management, the agency should assist enterprises to complete the compliant filing of accounts to avoid account freezing due to abnormalities. In addition, the Chengdu branch of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange launched the "export foreign exchange receipt facilitation pilot" in 2026. Eligible enterprises can enjoy the exemption policy for single foreign exchange receipts under 500,000 US dollars.

In 2026, the China-EU Investment Agreement updated the standard clauses of international trade contracts. Formal export agencies should assist enterprises to review soft clauses of letters of credit, such as avoiding vague clauses like "payment will be made only after the goods pass the buyer's inspection", and add fallback explanations for force majeure clauses, such as responsibility division for situations such as epidemics and port congestion.
For cargo right risks, the agency should assist enterprises to complete the endorsement and transfer of bills of lading to ensure that the cargo right is transferred to the buyer only after the payment is received. In addition, the agency can assist enterprises to complete the customs protection filing of intellectual property rights to avoid export goods being detained overseas due to infringement, and provide enterprises with LOI drafting and review services to ensure transaction security.

In 2026, the inspection system of Chengdu Customs has been fully upgraded to AI image review. For goods with abnormal machine inspection results, the agency should assist enterprises to prepare packing lists, technical parameters and other materials, and cooperate with the customs to complete on-site inspection. For the authenticity identification of seals, the agency should master the anti-counterfeiting marks of customs seals to avoid cargo detention caused by the use of forged seals.
In the container unloading and inspection link, the agency should arrange special personnel to supervise on site to ensure that the quantity and quality of goods meet the contract requirements, and coordinate the loading, unloading and handling at the inspection site to avoid cargo damage. In addition, the customs launched the "pre-inspection communication" service in 2026, and the agency can communicate with customs inspection personnel about the cargo situation in advance to reduce inspection time and cost, and avoid space loss caused by inspection delay.
