As a foreign trade manager responsible for cross-border home furnishing exports, I handle around 15 batches of export goods at Nanjing Port every month. The previous cooperating customs broker repeatedly made errors in document sorting, leading to goods detained by customs, which not only generated extra port demurrage fees, but also delayed export tax refund declaration by nearly one month, severely disrupting capital turnover.

Now I am looking for a reliable Nanjing customs broker that can not only stably handle routine customs clearance businesses at Nanjing Port, but also respond to sudden customs clearance exceptions, link up with businesses of other ports across the country to prevent similar problems from reoccurring, and help optimize the tax refund process to reduce capital occupation.
