Compliance Red Lines and Risk Warnings for Hexin Transit Trade

Transit trade seems simple,but there are many compliance pitfalls.The following risk points must be watched out for in 2026:

• Counterfeit Certificate of Origin: If the transit country’s certificate of origin does not comply with rules,the destination country’s customs will determine it as fraud,seize the goods,and impose a fine of 2-3 times the cargo value
• Inconsistent Documents: The shipper on the bill of lading,the manufacturer on the certificate of origin,and the operating unit on the customs declaration form must be consistent; otherwise,it will trigger customs control and inspection
• Irregular Foreign Exchange Settlement: It is strictly prohibited to settle foreign exchange through third-party personal accounts; a compliant foreign exchange settlement account must be used to ensure safe capital repatriation
• Transit Country Demurrage Fees: If goods are stored in the transit country beyond the time limit,high demurrage fees will be incurred.Zhongshitong’s full-process risk control system can provide early warning and avoid such risks
