I am a domestic manufacturer producing Guoxiang Aged Liquor, having done nearly ten years of domestic sales offline. Last year, many overseas Chinese distributors have placed orders with me, with a total of three containers ordered.
I want to go through formal agent export procedures. I have no previous experience in export business, and several small export agencies I contacted said that liquor export is very troublesome, sometimes saying the qualifications are wrong, sometimes saying the documents are incomplete, and even saying that there may be customs detention and return.
I am now afraid of delaying the delivery time of overseas customers and losing orders, and also afraid of failing to obtain export tax refunds due to non-compliant operations, and even being fined. I want to ask how to formally do agent export of Guoxiang Aged Liquor, what preparations need to be made in advance, and what points to pay attention to in the whole process?

Guoxiang Aged Liquor is mostly packed in glass bottles, which are fragile. When booking cabin space for export, it is necessary to mark the attribute of the goods in advance, select containers with qualified load capacity, and avoid cargo damage caused by container deformation.
If exporting to European and American countries, the probability of cabin space rejection due to peak season overcrowding is high, so it is necessary to reserve cabin space 10 days in advance, and reserve 1 backup cabin space quota to avoid delaying delivery time. Regarding container detention fees and free storage period, apply to the shipping company for extension in advance.
Long-term cooperative customers can get a free storage period of 7-10 days, which can save a lot of additional costs. If the destination port is in a remote area, give priority to direct shipping solutions, as transit solutions are prone to changes of port of call and cargo loss. Track the ownership of goods throughout the process, and accurately check the consignee information on the bill of lading to avoid problems with bill of lading endorsement and transfer.

When exporting Guoxiang Aged Liquor to EU countries, VAT deferral can be handled, and there is no need to pay VAT in advance during customs clearance, which can alleviate the pressure of capital occupation and improve capital turnover efficiency. If distributing through overseas warehouses, it is necessary to do a good job of cross-border related party transaction pricing to meet the tax requirements of the destination country, avoid being identified as tax base erosion and triggering anti-tax avoidance investigation.
If non-resident enterprise customers purchase, sort out the payment requirements of withholding tax in advance, use bilateral tax agreements to reduce tax costs, and do a good job of tax risk isolation to avoid involving the tax compliance of domestic entities. Multiple countries have updated the VAT tax rate for cross-border liquor products in 2026, so it is necessary to calculate the latest tax costs in advance, reserve enough space when quoting, and avoid losses.

Separate each wine bottle with buffer foam, and reinforce the outer carton to avoid damage caused by shaking and collision during transportation.
