Reliable sourcing and import agency services.
I am the person in charge of a chemical export enterprise in Maoming. I recently received orders from Europe, but I have only engaged in domestic trade before and am completely unfamiliar with the sea freight export process.
I am worried that wrong documents during customs declaration will lead to cargo detention, container rolling or port demurrage in logistics links will increase costs, and I am not clear about the compliance issues of foreign exchange settlement and export tax refund. I want to know what specific services Maoming's agency sea freight export business provides, and whether it can cover the whole process for us, from document preparation to goods shipment, and subsequent tax refund.

The full-link services of Maoming agency sea freight export business can be divided into four core modules: pre-document review，coordinated customs declaration and inspection application，logistics scheme implementation，and tax refund compliance follow-up.
First is document review. The agent will check core documents such as customs declaration form，commercial invoice，packing list and contract in advance to ensure accurate HS code (avoiding price assessment disputes caused by wrong codes)，and verify the compliance of special documents such as certificate of origin and MSDS for dangerous goods.
Second is the connection between customs declaration and inspection application. The agent will use the integrated customs clearance system at Maoming Port to complete the customs declaration and inspection application processes synchronously，reducing the time wasted on repeated document submission. For special goods such as chemicals，the agent will communicate with the customs about inspection requirements in advance to avoid delays caused by unpacking at the site.
In the logistics link，the agent will select appropriate shipping companies and routes according to the characteristics of the goods. For example，for chemicals，shipping owners with dangerous goods transport qualifications are prioritized，and the packing scheme is optimized to reduce space waste. At the same time，the status of the goods is tracked in real time. Once there is a risk of container rolling，the agent will immediately coordinate for re-allocation or apply for extension of free storage period.
Finally is tax refund compliance. The agent will assist the enterprise in sorting out the documents required for tax refund，ensure the "four flows consistency" of capital flow，goods flow，invoice flow and contract flow，and guide the enterprise to complete pre-declaration verification to reduce the risk of tax verification letter.

Accuracy and consistency of HS codes shall be noted for sea freight export customs declaration at Maoming Port. For example, for chemical exports, wrong HS code classification may lead to customs price assessment or inspection.
The agent will check the code through the customs commodity database, and combine with the actual use, component ratio and other information of the goods to ensure correct classification. For goods that require secondary declaration (such as temporary import and export converted to formal export), the agent will prepare the transshipment documents in advance to avoid port demurrage caused by process connection problems.

Route selection and cargo right control shall be concerned for Maoming sea freight export logistics. The agent will choose direct sailing or transit scheme according to the shipping frequency of the port of destination. For example, for goods to Europe, if the customer has timeliness requirements, direct sailing vessels are prioritized; if the customer is cost-sensitive, transit solutions are considered. At the same time, attention shall be paid to the node of cargo right transfer when endorsing and transferring the bill of lading.
The agent will guide the enterprise to endorse the bill of lading only after receiving full payment, so as to avoid the risk of delivery of goods without original bill of lading. For the problem of container demurrage, the agent will negotiate with the shipping company for free container period extension in advance. If the period exceeds the free container period, the agent will arrange container return in time or apply for fee reduction.
