I am a domestic beverage distributor. I recently secured a full container order for Bo Fen from a Southeast Asian regional supermarket chain. Previously, I only handled domestic offline circulation and have never dealt with export business, so I am completely at a loss.
I consulted a few small agencies, and their explanations varied. Some said I need to apply for a Baijiu export quota, while others said I only need food inspection and quarantine. I fear incorrect documents will lead to detention at the port; aside from paying penalties, I might ruin a long-term client relationship.
Also, I am unclear how to operate the export tax refund and fear missing out on refund benefits. I want to ask how to exactly handle Bo Fen export agency, what core issues to watch out for in the full process, and if you can sort this out for me.

The first step in Bo Fen export agency is pre-qualification and document audit. We need to confirm the business entity's alcohol operation qualifications，as well as the Bo Fen manufacturer's production license and the filing certificate for export food production enterprises. We will verify in advance whether the alcohol content and ingredient labels comply with the access standards of the destination country，avoiding the risk of return due to non-compliant labels from the source.
Next is the connection of core nodes. After completing document organization，we submit the export declaration to Customs 7 working days in advance. Bo Fen belongs to the pre-packaged food category and requires advance sampling to obtain a qualified inspection and quarantine certificate. When booking，inform the shipping company of the cargo nature in advance to reserve sufficient space and free detention time，avoiding rolling the container due to information asymmetry，which generates additional change-of-vessel costs.
Regarding contingency plans，if a Customs inspection is encountered，we will prepare the original factory qualification documents and domestic purchase contracts in advance to assist Customs in verifying cargo value and qualifications. If there are queries regarding labels during the destination country's customs clearance phase，we can provide the pre-reviewed version for quick rectification to avoid detention generating high container detention fees.
At the level of final compliance implementation，we will follow up on the implementation of four-flow consistency verification throughout the process，complete standardized document organization，and dock with the full export tax refund process to ensure tax refunds are received on time. We synchronize every node from domestic container loading to delivery at the destination. You only need to provide basic purchase order information to complete all operations.

When declaring Bo Fen for export, Customs will verify the cargo value. You need to prepare the domestic purchase VAT invoice and the factory ex-factory price list for Bo Fen in advance to avoid cargo detention due to valuation disputes. If the declared price is questioned, you need to prepare communication records of the transaction and the purchase contract in advance to prove the authenticity of the cargo price.
Under the integrated clearance declaration mode, ports nationwide can accept the declaration, but you need to ensure the declaration logic is completely consistent with the document information to avoid situations requiring deletion and re-declaration. If the declaration is suspended, you need to supplement information immediately and coordinate with the Customs valuation department for quick price verification to shorten clearance time and avoid missing the shipping schedule.

Exporting Bo Fen involves glass-bottled Baijiu, so reinforcement is required during transportation. For full container shipments, buffering and fixation must be done inside the container to avoid glass breakage during transit. Congestion cycles vary by route, so booking 10-15 days in advance is necessary to reserve sufficient buffer time.
If a container is rolled, priority can be given to adjusting to space on other shipping companies on the same route without delaying the delivery deadline. Free detention time at the port of destination can be applied for in advance, with a maximum of 14 days obtainable, avoiding high container detention and storage fees. Transshipment solutions are about 15% cheaper than direct shipping solutions, and the appropriate plan can be chosen based on the customer's delivery requirements.

Exporting Bo Fen can enjoy the export tax refund policy; export duties are not required, and VAT can be refunded according to the refund rate. If exporting through an agency, the refund can be handled directly by the agency company without self-operation.
If the overseas customer requires VAT deferred customs clearance, you can coordinate with a tax agent in the destination country to complete the deferral operation, relieving capital occupation pressure. If RMB is used for settlement in cross-border transactions, losses caused by exchange rate fluctuations can be avoided, and there is no need to bear exchange rate risks, which also complies with current tax compliance requirements.

For Bo Fen export collection, CIPS cross-border RMB payment or SWIFT USD settlement can be used, both complying with domestic foreign exchange compliance requirements. It is necessary to confirm in advance that the collection and payment path is consistent with the transaction information to avoid settlement anomalies.
If the overseas customer pays using an offshore account, trade background reporting must be done in advance to ensure the collection and payment process meets the requirements of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange and avoids settlement suspension. For agency export, the agency company can complete the settlement balancing operation, so you do not need to handle complex message reporting yourself, reducing compliance risks.

For Bo Fen export, the trade contract must clearly define cargo quality standards, delivery deadlines, and division of customs clearance responsibilities. Avoid soft clauses in Letters of Credit and try to require the customer to issue an irrevocable Letter of Credit to avoid situations where the customer changes documents temporarily and refuses to pick up goods.
If the customer requires release against a Letter of Guarantee, the scope of rights and responsibilities of the guarantee must be clarified, and legal document filing for the transfer of title must be done well to avoid loss of cargo title. At the same time, it is necessary to complete customs recordal of trademark intellectual property rights in advance to avoid exported goods being detained by Customs as infringing.

When exporting Bo Fen encounters Customs inspection, first verify the authenticity of the seal to confirm it has not been swapped. For devanning inspection, a devanning plan must be made in advance, and the container should be devanned sequentially from the front to the back according to Customs requirements to improve inspection efficiency.
For machine inspection, cargo placement must be arranged in advance to avoid unclear machine images due to stacking of different goods, which would require a second devanning. If Customs requires sample testing, the original factory's quality inspection report should be prepared in advance to assist Customs in completing the testing process and shorten the overall inspection duration.

Bo Fen is a glass-bottled alcoholic beverage, belonging to the general cargo category, not dangerous goods, but moisture-proof and shock-proof packaging is required. Paper pads or bubble cushions must be used to separate each bottle, and thickened corrugated cartons must be used for outer boxes.
For full container stacking, reinforcement must be done well, using stretch film for fixation to avoid collision and breakage caused by bumps during transit. The MSDS must be compiled according to the requirements of the destination country, clearly marking ingredients, alcohol content, and storage requirements to ensure compliance with the packaging requirements of the importing country.
