Reliable sourcing and import agency services.
I am a hardware tools trader in Nanning, Guangxi. In 2026, I just received an order for diamond drill packages imported from Germany, and the goods are to enter through Qinzhou Port.
Previously, I used a small local agent who lost the certificate of origin and commercial invoice, causing the goods to be detained at the port for three days, resulting in over 20,000 yuan in demurrage fees alone. Now I am particularly anxious.
This time, the agent I need must not only handle customs clearance at various ports in Guangxi but also understand the HS code classification of drill packages to avoid customs valuation queries, and coordinate logistics and subsequent export tax refunds. I cannot afford any more mishaps and want to know how to choose a reliable agent.

First，complete the pre-audit of the latest 2026 HS codes. The 2026 version of HS codes for diamond drill packages has been updated，and it is necessary to confirm whether they fall under the management of dual-use items，and prepare the dual-use item import license in advance to avoid detention. Secondly，verify the full set of documents including the certificate of origin，commercial invoice，packing list，etc。to ensure they match the actual information of the goods，especially details such as the quantity，unit price，and brand of the drill packages，to prevent valuation disputes.
Then，implement the Qinzhou Port exclusive customs clearance channel connection. The customs clearance processes at various ports in Guangxi differ. As a core port of the Western Land-Sea New Corridor，Qinzhou Port can apply for integrated customs clearance. Communicate with the customs pre-audit department in advance，upload documents to the system early，and reduce the probability of on-site inspection. At the same time，coordinate with logistics companies to confirm the transportation route of the goods and apply for the maximum free storage period to avoid demurrage fees.
Develop contingency plans for abnormal situations. For example，if customs inspection occurs，prepare the original factory inspection report and technical parameter table of the drill packages in advance，cooperate with on-site inspectors to complete container unpacking and seal check. If abnormal machine inspection occurs，apply for inspection and appraisal to shorten the inspection time. If documents are lost，contact the shipper to reissue expedited documents and apply to customs for temporary guarantee release to reduce demurrage losses.
Finally，follow up on the subsequent tax refund process，ensure the consistency of the four flows (contract，invoice，logistics，and capital flow)，complete document filing，cooperate with the tax department's letter investigation，and ensure timely receipt of export tax refunds. When selecting an agent，review their 2025-2026 cases of importing drill packages through Guangxi ports to confirm their professional document processing capabilities and risk response experience.

For the valuation issue of importing drill packages, focus on verifying the authenticity of the transaction price, including whether there are royalty fees, such as whether the buyer pays the seller for the technical use of the drill packages. These fees need to be included in the dutiable value. In 2026, Guangxi Customs has updated the valuation standards for industrial diamond tools. Provide supporting materials such as original factory quotations and sales contracts to prove that the transaction price complies with market conditions. At the same time, complete the plan for secondary declaration in advance.
If the initial declaration is questioned, supplementary materials can be provided within 3 working days to avoid goods detention. In addition, the integrated customs clearance process at Guangxi ports has achieved cross-regional linkage. You can choose to pre-declare at Nanning Customs and then transfer to Qinzhou Port for on-site clearance, saving clearance time. Also, pay attention to the HS code classification of drill packages. If misclassified, it will lead to incorrect tax rates. Contact the customs classification center in advance for pre-classification to ensure accurate codes.

Drill packages belong to heavy industrial goods. During transportation, pay attention to moisture-proof and securing. You can choose direct logistics lines to Qinzhou Port to avoid transshipment and container rollover. In 2026, the maximum free storage period at Qinzhou Port can be applied for up to 14 days. Communicate with the agent in advance to apply for the free storage period before the goods arrive at the port to avoid demurrage fees.
If encountering overbooking, you can choose to change the port to Fangchenggang and then transport to Nanning warehouse by road to shorten the delivery time. Also, pay attention to the endorsement and transfer of the bill of lading. Ensure that the consignee information on the bill of lading matches the import contract to avoid cargo ownership disputes. At the same time, track the real-time location of the goods and set up an early warning mechanism. If goods are delayed, contact the shipping company to adjust the space to reduce losses. In addition, you can choose CIF trade terms, where the agent is responsible for logistics and insurance, reducing cargo ownership risks.

For tax planning of importing drill packages, you can apply for VAT deferral to delay the payment of import value-added tax and alleviate corporate financial pressure. In 2026, the VAT deferral policy in Guangxi has been relaxed. You only need to provide a valid guarantee letter to apply without prepaying taxes.
At the same time, pay attention to the pricing of cross-border related-party transactions. If there is a relationship between the buyer and seller, provide contemporaneous documentation to prove that the pricing complies with the arm's length principle to avoid anti-avoidance investigations by tax authorities. In addition, the tariff rates for importing drill packages have been adjusted according to the 2026 customs tariff.
Confirm whether the most-favored-nation rate or preferential rate applies. If the goods come from ASEAN countries, they can enjoy zero tariff treatment. Prepare the certificate of origin FORM E to ensure enjoying tax incentives. Also, maintain tax archives for tax department inspection.

For foreign exchange settlement of importing drill packages, you can choose the CIPS RMB cross-border payment system to avoid losses from exchange rate fluctuations. In 2026, the coverage of the CIPS system has expanded to major countries worldwide. You can settle directly in RMB without going through USD intermediation, saving exchange difference costs.
At the same time, ensure the authenticity of foreign exchange receipts and payments, provide complete trade documents including contracts, invoices, customs declaration forms, etc., to comply with the requirements of foreign exchange management departments. In addition, pay attention to the compliant use of offshore accounts.
If using offshore accounts for settlement, ensure that the source of funds in the account is legal to avoid being listed on the foreign exchange supervision list. Also, regularly conduct settlement and reconciliation to ensure that every foreign exchange receipt and payment has a corresponding trade background, avoiding suspense account issues. If encountering insufficient settlement quota, apply for a temporary quota to ensure timely fund availability.

For legal risks of importing drill packages, clearly define the rights and obligations of both parties in the import contract, including product quality standards, delivery time, liability for breach of contract, etc. At the same time, include a force majeure clause. If encountering port congestion, customs inspection, etc., partial liability for breach can be exempted. In addition, require the seller to provide a guarantee letter to ensure the intellectual property compliance of the goods and avoid intellectual property disputes after import.
If encountering cargo ownership disputes, you can assert rights through the document of title (bill of lading). If the bill of lading is lost, apply to the shipping company for a reissued bill of lading or provide a guarantee letter to release the goods. At the same time, complete contract filing for future legal disputes. In addition, if involving intellectual property customs protection filing, file with the General Administration of Customs in advance to prevent the entry of infringing goods.

For on-site customs inspection, prepare the original factory inspection report, technical parameter table, packing list, and other materials of the drill packages in advance to ensure consistency with the customs declaration information. If abnormal machine inspection occurs, contact the agent promptly to apply for container opening inspection, and cooperate with inspectors to complete the seal check, ensuring the seal is intact.
If the goods are found inconsistent with the declared information, correct the declaration information promptly to avoid detention. In addition, pay attention to safety at the inspection site, ensure the packaging of the goods is intact, and avoid damage during inspection.
If inspection is required, choose a testing institution recognized by customs to ensure the validity of the inspection report. At the same time, track the inspection progress. If the inspection time is too long, apply to customs for expedited inspection to shorten clearance time.

For the transport packaging of drill packages, design according to the 2026 international maritime packaging standards, ensuring the packaging complies with UN dangerous goods packaging requirements (if the drill packages are dangerous goods). The metal components of drill packages are prone to rust.
Use moisture-proof packaging materials, such as vapor phase anti-rust film, and place desiccants inside the packaging to ensure the goods are not damp during transportation. In addition, reinforce the packaging, use wooden pallets or plastic pallets, and secure with steel straps to prevent goods shaking during transportation.
At the same time, attach clear labels on the exterior of the packaging, including the goods name, quantity, consignee information, dangerous goods marks (if any), etc., for convenient customs inspection. If air transport is required, use lighter packaging materials to ensure compliance with air transport packaging standards.

For export tax refund after importing drill packages, ensure the consistency of the four flows (contract, invoice, logistics, and capital flow), and that each tax refund has a corresponding trade background. In 2026, Guangxi tax departments have stricter verification of export tax refunds.
Prepare document filing in advance, including customs declaration forms, contracts, invoices, logistics documents, etc., for tax department verification. In addition, pay attention to the time for foreign exchange collection and verification. Complete foreign exchange collection within 90 days after goods export, otherwise tax refund cannot be processed.
If encountering delayed foreign exchange collection, apply to the tax department for deferred tax refund and provide relevant proof materials. At the same time, perform pre-verification of tax refund declarations to avoid declaration errors causing tax refund delays. If encountering tax letter investigation, cooperate promptly to provide relevant materials to ensure the investigation passes smoothly.

For supply chain planning of importing drill packages, establish inventory linkage strategies, adjust import batches and quantities based on sales forecasts to avoid inventory backlog. In 2026, the supply chain digital platform in Guangxi has been launched. You can track the customs clearance progress and inventory status of goods in real-time through the platform to optimize supply chain processes.
At the same time, you can choose CIF trade terms, where the agent is responsible for logistics and insurance, reducing corporate logistics costs and risks. In addition, optimize the selection of trade terms. If the enterprise has sufficient logistics experience, choose FOB terms to arrange logistics and insurance independently, saving logistics costs.
At the same time, establish long-term cooperative relationships with suppliers to strive for more favorable purchase prices and delivery times. In addition, consider establishing a regional distribution center, transport goods from Qinzhou Port to the distribution center in Nanning, and then distribute to customers across Guangxi to shorten delivery time.
