Reliable sourcing and import agency services.
I run a small and medium-sized home furnishing manufacturing business, which has focused on domestic sales for five years. We received our first batch of stable bulk orders from the Middle East at the end of 2025. I originally planned to find scattered freight forwarders to handle customs declaration and export on my own, but the first batch of goods was detained by customs due to non-compliant document information.
I not only missed the shipping schedule and paid more than 8,000 US dollars in liquidated damages to the customer, but also the sorted tax rebate materials failed to meet the requirements. It has been almost three months now, and the tax rebate has not been issued, tying up more than RMB 100,000 of my working capital.
Now the second batch of orders will be ready for shipment next week, I am very panicked and dare not operate on my own anymore. I want to find a professional team for help, but I do not understand what professional export agency services are and whether they can solve the problems I am facing now, so I come to consult specially.

Professional export agency service is a professional service that integrates operation and compliance resources of all links in the full export chain，and completes the whole process or specified node operations for export enterprises. Different from scattered agents on the market that only submit documents to earn price differences，it covers operation and risk control for the whole process from order confirmation to tax rebate verification and write-off.
The first step is to conduct preliminary document review. In the stock preparation stage，we will check the information consistency of all documents including customs declaration invoices，purchase and sales contracts，certificates of origin，and packing lists. Even errors in a single product code，or omissions and mistakes in shipping mark information will be corrected in advance，to avoid problems of inconsistent documents and non-compliant documents from the source.
Core nodes will connect the four modules of customs declaration，logistics，foreign exchange receipt，and tax rebate. Each node has a dedicated contact person to follow up，and synchronize the progress to the enterprise in real time，so the enterprise does not need to communicate with multiple different institutions repeatedly. For common exceptions such as cargo detention，document errors，and unqualified tax rebate materials，corresponding response plans are prepared in advance. Once a problem occurs，adjustment can be initiated within 24 hours to avoid the expansion of losses.
Finally，all links will be implemented in compliance with the latest customs and tax supervision requirements of 2026，to ensure smooth export procedures. After sorting materials for the tax rebate process in accordance with specifications，declaration can be initiated as soon as 15 working days after customs declaration，shortening the capital occupation cycle. For your existing remaining problems of cargo detention and stuck tax rebate，our team can take over the correction of existing documents，re-cooperate with inspection or declaration，sort out tax rebate materials that meet the requirements，help you release the tied-up working capital，and also follow up the whole process operation of your second batch of orders to avoid the possibility of risks again.
