I'm a salesperson at a foreign trade company specializing in chemical export agency. Recently, I received an export order for polyurethane products from Wanhua Chemical, destined for Southeast Asia and European markets. However, I have no prior experience with Wanhua product exports.
Do their products have special regulatory requirements, such as MSDS or dangerous goods packaging certificates? Also, will the foreign exchange settlement and tax refund processes differ from ordinary chemicals? I heard recently that customs will implement new price assessment policies in 2026—will this affect our quotations?
Additionally, many Wanhua products are dangerous goods; how to choose the right freight forwarder to avoid container detention and port demurrage fees? I'm really worried about being detained or fined due to any oversight.

First，clarify the classification of Wanhua products: Most polyurethane products are ordinary chemicals，while some special grades may be dangerous goods. The regulatory requirements must first be confirmed via the 2026 new version of the Customs HS Code. For pre-documentation: ordinary chemicals require original factory inspection certificates and MSDS，dangerous goods need additional UN38.3 test reports，dangerous goods packaging use appraisal certificates，and packaging must comply with IMDG rules.
For core link coordination: For European routes，prioritize direct shipping lines to Rotterdam to avoid transit delays，for Southeast Asia，use transshipment via Port Klang. Confirm with freight forwarders in advance about dangerous goods qualification and space reservation，apply for 7-day free storage and 14-day free container use to offset port demurrage costs. If there's a booking shortage，prepare an alternative Nansha Port customs transfer plan simultaneously to reduce container detention risks.
Prepare contingency plans in advance: If customs conduct controlled inspections，coordinate with third-party testing institutions to issue re-inspection reports in advance，cooperate with inspectors on-site to verify seals and cargo information，and avoid detention due to damaged seals or inconsistency between documents and goods. For foreign exchange settlement，it's recommended to use CIPS RMB cross-border payment to avoid exchange rate difference risks. For tax refund，ensure consistency of four flows: cargo flow，fund flow，document flow，and information flow，and pre-verify risks via the 2026-launched export tax refund pre-declaration system.
Finally，follow up on Wanhua's authorized agency qualification，confirm export filing information with the original factory in advance to avoid customs rejection due to lack of authorization，and retain all operation vouchers for at least 10 years for subsequent verification.

The 2026 customs pre-ruling system can lock in price assessment standards in advance. Request Wanhua's original factory for domestic sales contracts and export quotations from the past 6 months as supporting materials for transaction prices. If customs raise price assessment doubts, submit Wanhua's official pricing documents and third-party market comparison reports to prove price reasonableness.
Under the national customs clearance integration model, you can declare at Shanghai Port and directly transfer customs to the departure port to reduce price assessment delays in intermediate links. For long-term Wanhua clients, apply for Customs AEO Advanced Certification to enjoy priority clearance treatment.

For dangerous goods booking, prioritize enterprises with international freight forwarding qualifications and dangerous goods operation experience. Submit dangerous goods declaration materials 7 days in advance, including UN number, packaging category, emergency response phone number, etc. For European routes, choose dedicated dangerous goods space from Maersk or Mediterranean Shipping to avoid inspection risks caused by mixing with ordinary goods.
For Southeast Asia routes, apply for dedicated dangerous goods yards in Port Klang to shorten container inspection time. Bills of lading should be made out to order with endorsement to clarify cargo ownership and avoid risks of delivery without bill of lading.

For Wanhua product exports, apply for the EU VAT deferral policy—import VAT is not paid upon entry, but declared and paid after subsequent sales to ease capital occupation pressure.
Ensure that related-party transaction pricing complies with BEPS rules, provide Wanhua's original factory pricing basis and market fair price reports to avoid anti-tax avoidance investigations by tax authorities. For non-resident enterprise withholding tax, optimize overall tax costs by designing cross-border tax structures via Zhongshitong to retain profits in low-tax regions.

The 2026 CIPS RMB cross-border payment system covers over 90% of global trade nodes. You can directly use RMB to settle Wanhua product export payments to avoid USD exchange rate risks. For foreign exchange settlement, use exchange rate lock agreements to lock in settlement prices in advance and avoid profit losses due to exchange rate fluctuations.
For offshore account use, strictly comply with CRS declaration requirements, submit account flow reports quarterly, and ensure that payment and receipt behaviors meet cross-border compliance standards. If settlement is stuck, use Zhongshitong's account balancing system to handle it quickly to avoid affecting tax refund progress.

Wanhua product export contracts should clearly exclude letter of credit soft clauses to avoid refusal risks due to document discrepancies. If the buyer requires a third-party guarantee, choose a bank independent guarantee instead of a commercial guarantee to ensure double security of cargo ownership and funds.
For Wanhua's intellectual property rights, complete customs filing in target markets in advance to prevent infringing goods from being seized. If cargo ownership is transferred, notify the carrier in writing and complete bill of lading endorsement to ensure the legal effect of the transfer.

Upon receiving a customs inspection notice, verify the inspection location and cargo information immediately, and prepare required documents in advance. During on-site inspection, cooperate with customs officers to verify seal numbers and original records. If seals are damaged, take photos immediately to retain evidence and contact the carrier for confirmation.
For goods with abnormal machine inspection results, apply for manual container inspection, coordinate third-party testing institutions to be present in advance to shorten inspection time. If sampling is required, choose customs-recognized testing institutions to ensure the legal effect of test reports.

If Wanhua's polyurethane products are dangerous goods, use UN-certified steel packaging. Outer packaging should have correct dangerous goods labels and emergency guides. MSDS should comply with the 2026 latest GHS standards, include 16 complete items, and be issued by Wanhua's original factory.
For fragile special polyurethane products, use buffer foam and wooden pallets for reinforcement to ensure physical safety during transportation. If bulk sea transportation is required, apply for dangerous goods bulk transportation permits in advance and ensure that the tank meets the International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code.

Before applying for export tax refund, complete the four-flow consistency check, including cargo flow (bill of lading, warehouse receipt), fund flow (foreign exchange settlement slip), document flow (customs declaration form, invoice), and information flow (contract, order). If tax correspondence occurs, promptly request supply certificates and export filing materials from Wanhua's original factory and cooperate with tax authorities' verification work.
The 2026 export tax refund declaration system has realized online pre-verification, which can pre-check document errors to avoid tax refund delays caused by cross-month declarations. Foreign exchange collection verification should be completed within 180 days after goods export to meet the time limit requirements for tax refund declaration.

Sign contracts with buyers using CIF trade terms, include logistics and insurance costs in quotations to optimize overall supply chain costs. For Southeast Asia and European markets, establish regional inventory warehouses respectively and reduce replenishment cycles through inventory linkage strategies.
Adjust inventory levels according to Wanhua products' sales cycles to avoid inventory backlogs or out-of-stock risks. For trade structure design, use branch models to retain profits in low-tax regions while ensuring related-party transactions comply with tax compliance requirements.
