Core Points of 2026 Practical Operation for Chengdu Import & Export Agency Export Tax Rebate

In 2026,the global trade framework is adjusted,the detailed rules for tariff concessions among RCEP member states are updated,and domestic export tax rebate policies are further optimized.As the core foreign trade hub in western China,Chengdu’s local enterprises face new challenges in tax rebate compliance and revenue efficiency.Different from traditional self-handled tax rebates,professional import and export agencies can help enterprises avoid regulatory red lines and lock in tax rebate benefits through full-process control.

I.Core Changes of Chengdu Export Tax Rebate Policy in 2026

In 2026,the General Administration of Customs updated the HS code classification guidelines,adding 12 declaration element requirements for categories such as electromechanical and chemical products,and raised the tax rebate rate for some high value-added products,among which the tax rebate rate for new energy equipment was increased from 13% to 14.5%.In addition,Chengdu Customs has launched a linkage mechanism of \"off-site declaration + port inspection\",allowing enterprises to complete tax rebate pre-review through Shanghai Port,reducing the cost of local inspection queuing.

• Tax rebate rate adjustment: The average tax rebate rate for high value-added manufacturing categories increases by 1.2 to 2 percentage points
• Declaration requirements: Two mandatory declaration elements,namely \"supply chain traceability code\" and \"qualification certificate of overseas consignee\",are added
• Regional convenience: Chengdu enterprises can choose ports such as Shanghai and Shenzhen to complete tax rebate pre-review,shortening the review cycle

II.Common Risk Points of Export Tax Rebate for Chengdu Enterprises

Many foreign trade enterprises in Chengdu are prone to hit three major regulatory red lines when handling tax rebates on their own: First,incorrect HS code classification,leading to wrong application of tax rebate rates or inspection risks; Second,inconsistent documents,such as inconsistent commodity names and quantities between customs declaration forms and VAT invoices; Third,non-standard foreign exchange verification,with exchange loss risks caused by \"fast collection and fast payment\".According to the 2025 export tax rebate inspection data of Chengdu Customs,the compliance risk rate of enterprises handling tax rebates independently is as high as 18.7%.

As a professional agency headquartered in Shanghai,Zhongshitong once assisted an auto parts export enterprise in Chengdu to solve a classification problem: In 2025,the auto filters exported by the enterprise to the EU were calculated at a tax rebate rate of 8% due to incorrect HS code classification during the initial independent declaration,resulting in an underpayment of about RMB 800,000 in tax rebates.Zhongshitong’s classification experts communicated with the Customs Classification Committee,provided supporting materials such as product technical parameters and EU import standards,and successfully adjusted the code to the category with a 13% tax rebate rate,finally helping the enterprise recover RMB 1.2 million in tax rebates and obtain the customs compliance certification at the same time.

• Pre-compliance diagnosis: Check HS code and document consistency,predict customs control risks,and issue compliance reports
• Tax rebate declaration pre-review: Complete online review through the pre-review system of Shanghai Port,and correct declaration errors in advance
• Foreign exchange settlement linkage: Match compliant foreign exchange verification paths,avoid exchange loss risks,and ensure compliant capital return
• Tax rebate arrival follow-up: Communicate with tax authorities,track the review progress,and ensure that the tax rebate is credited within 30 days
