Reliable sourcing and import agency services.
I am an import procurement specialist at a foreign trade company. Last month, our previous cooperative agency failed to process the electronic seal for the Italian Certificate of Origin, which caused the entire batch of custom sofas to be detained at the port for 5 days. The application for free demurrage alone took nearly a week, and additional port detention fees of over 20,000 RMB were incurred. Now our company has obtained the exclusive import agency right for Cheers Furniture series in East China, and two batches of genuine leather sofas and recliners imported from Milan need customs clearance next month.
The delivery cycle for this shipment is very tight, and the customer also requires the provision of compliant tax payment certificates. In addition, the total value of this shipment is relatively high. In case of price verification disputes, it will not only delay the process, but also generate additional tax costs. I am very worried that new issues will arise again, and I want to confirm whether the Cheers import agency service is reliable and can solve all these pain points.

For your situation，our Cheers import agency service starts with full-link disassembly. First of all，pre-document review: pre-review the full set of documents 7 working days in advance，including Italian Certificate of Origin，Fumigation Certificate，Commercial Invoice and other related documents. In 2026，China Customs has realized unified interconnection of electronic documents，which supports direct online pre-review to avoid offline seal omission issues.
Secondly，core node interconnection: we cover all major ports across China including Shanghai and Ningbo，and realize seamless connection of customs clearance，logistics and taxation. For example，for the shipping route from Milan to Shanghai，we will prioritize selecting direct liners to avoid the risk of transshipment container roll-off，and book shipping space in advance to guarantee the delivery cycle. For high-value Cheers furniture，we will contact the customs price verification department in advance to verify the brand's official pricing system，so as to ensure that the declared value complies with customs requirements.
Then for abnormal contingency plans: For issues such as port detention and price verification disputes，we have a national cross-port collaborative emergency dispatching mechanism. For example，when port detention occurs，we can directly apply for extension of the free demurrage period，which can be extended to a maximum of 14 days. For price verification disputes，we will prepare documents such as brand authorization letter and official pricing records to assist customs in completing price verification confirmation，so as to avoid additional tax costs.
Finally，compliance implementation: we will provide exchange difference optimization solutions，which avoid exchange loss through CIPS cross-border RMB payment. Compared with traditional SWIFT payment，it can save about 3% of exchange loss cost every year. Meanwhile，we will assist in the preliminary preparation for export tax rebate to ensure compliant capital repatriation. We will follow up the whole service process，synchronize the progress at every node，so you do not need to worry about unexpected situations.
