Reliable sourcing and import agency services.
I am a high-end system door and window distributor in the Yangtze River Delta region, currently operating 6 offline experience stores across Suzhou, Shanghai and Hangzhou. In the past two years, nearly 30% of the demands from owners of high-end villas and large luxury apartments I served explicitly require imported customized doors and windows of the Qiaoqiao brand. Previously, I arranged three batches of goods in scattered shipments by contacting freight forwarders on my own.
The first batch was detained at the port for half a month as the certificate of origin and material test report failed to meet customs requirements, leading to missed owner's decoration schedule and paid liquidated damages. The second batch caused nearly RMB 120,000 extra tax payments due to price review disputes. The third batch had large-area edge collision and damage caused by unqualified transport packaging, with no responsible party to compensate for the loss. Now I am looking for a professional import agency for long-term cooperation, and I would like to know how the import agency service for Qiaoqiao doors and windows performs, and whether it can solve the problems I encountered before.

Qiaoqiao doors and windows are large-sized fragile goods. Priority can be given to direct shipping routes from Europe to Shanghai Port, which takes about 28 days for transportation, reduces the transportation time by over 10 days compared with transshipment routes, and also lowers the cargo damage probability during transshipment loading and unloading. When booking space, you can apply for a maximum of 14 days of free storage period and 7 days of free container period, which can effectively cover the customs clearance cycle and avoid extra expenses on container detention charge and storage charge.
After the cargo arrives at the port, special large cargo transport vehicles can be arranged to pick up goods directly from the port area, with customized buffer and fixing solutions during transportation, to control the cargo damage rate below 0.1%.

The deferred VAT policy can be applied for the import of Qiaoqiao doors and windows. Eligible enterprises do not need to pay import value-added tax immediately at the import stage, and can defer the payment to the subsequent monthly VAT declaration period, which effectively eases the cash flow pressure of enterprises. Calculated based on a single batch of goods valued at RMB 1 million, nearly RMB 30,000 of capital occupation cost can be saved.
The import VAT paid at the import stage can be fully deducted for subsequent domestic sales VAT, with no additional qualification requirements. For bulk imported Qiaoqiao doors and windows, related party transaction pricing filing can be applied for. After the filing is completed, the annual import price review standard can be stabilized, avoiding extra tax expenses caused by price review fluctuations, which reduces the comprehensive tax cost by nearly 5% every year.
