Full-process Compliance Operation and Risk Prevention and Control Solutions for Import and Export Agency of Listed Companies

Full-process Control of Port of Destination Certification

In 2026,port of destination certification requirements of major trading countries continue to be refined.The EU has updated the 2025 version of CE certification technical standards,the US FDA has added 12 testing items for food contact materials,and RCEP member states in Southeast Asia have added a physical traceability link to certificate of origin review.For electromechanical products,chemical products,medical devices and other categories exported in batches by listed companies,if certification materials are inconsistent with declaration elements,it is very easy to trigger cargo detention at the port of destination,and a single delay will lead to order breach losses of more than one million.

Zhongshitong’s operation team will connect with certification bodies of the destination country 7-10 days in advance to check the consistency of product models,materials,test reports with customs declaration requirements.Last year,we assisted a listed construction machinery company to export to the EU.The CE certification submitted by the customer only covered the main engine part and did not include the supporting hydraulic system.We contacted the EU notified body immediately to carry out supplementary tests and adjust declaration elements.Finally,customs clearance was completed within 3 days,avoiding order losses for the customer that would have been caused by missing the peak season of European infrastructure construction.

• Failure to confirm the mandatory certification list of the destination country in advance leads to cargo detention
• Inconsistency between certification certificates and declaration elements triggers customs inspection and control
• Failure to adjust test standards in time when seasonal certification requirements change

Anti-dumping Early Warning and Compliance Response

In 2026,the frequency of global anti-dumping investigations increased by 18% year-on-year.The US anti-dumping duty on Chinese photovoltaic products has been raised from 25% to 32%,the EU’s anti-dumping investigation on hardware tools has added inspection of transit cargo from Southeast Asia,and some countries have also launched safeguard measure investigations on Chinese textile products.If listed companies do not receive early warnings,they will not only face increased tax costs,but also may be included in trade sanction lists.

Zhongshitong has established a global trade early warning database,which connects with public information of customs and trade regulatory authorities of various countries in real time,and pushes anti-dumping investigation trends 30 days in advance.Last year,a listed hardware tool company planned to export to the EU.Our system issued an early warning of the EU’s anti-dumping investigation in advance,assisted the customer to prepare financial and production certification materials for market economy status application,and finally reduced the applicable tax rate from 48% to 12%,saving more than 2 million euros in taxes and fees per batch.

• Track anti-dumping investigation trends of the destination country in real time,and adjust trade routes in advance
• Standardize document declaration of transit cargo to avoid risks of false transit
• Prepare a full set of certification materials for market economy status application in advance

Export Tax Rebate Optimization and Capital Activation

In 2026,the review standards of the State Taxation Administration for export tax rebates of listed companies have been further tightened,requiring full consistency of logistics,customs declaration and foreign exchange receipt flows.Any inconsistent document will lead to delayed or rejected tax rebates.The average cycle for listed companies to handle tax rebates on their own is 12-20 days,and tax rebate failures easily occur due to wrong HS code classification and incomplete declaration elements.

Zhongshitong’s tax rebate team has more than 10 years of practical port operation experience,can accurately classify HS codes,review the compliance of each declaration element,and connects with the tax rebate green channel of Shanghai Port,shortening the tax rebate cycle to 7-10 days.We can also provide tax rebate advance services for eligible listed companies to activate their capital chains.Last year,a listed electromechanical company’s self-handled tax rebate was delayed for 3 months due to wrong HS code classification.We assisted in reclassification and submission of supplementary materials,and coordinated with the tax authority to speed up the review.Finally,the tax rebate was credited to the account within 7 days.

Foreign Exchange Receipt Security Guarantee and Foreign Exchange Settlement

In 2026,the fluctuation range of global foreign exchange has expanded,and the peak exchange rate fluctuation of RMB against Euro and British Pound has reached 8%,significantly increasing the foreign exchange loss risk of listed companies for received payments.At the same time,foreign exchange regulatory authorities of various countries have intensified inspection of foreign exchange receipts from false trades.Third-party foreign exchange collection on behalf will be regarded as illegal operation,which directly affects enterprises’ foreign exchange verification and cancellation and tax rebates.

Zhongshitong can provide exchange rate locking services for listed companies,sign forward foreign exchange settlement and sale agreements with cooperative banks in advance to lock the exchange rate of received foreign exchange and avoid exchange losses.At the same time,we strictly review the source of received foreign exchange funds,require overseas buyers to pay the purchase price directly to the agency account,to ensure full consistency of document flow,logistics and capital flow.Last year,a customer of a listed European trading company planned to pay in Euro.We locked the exchange rate in advance,avoiding foreign exchange loss of 1.2 million RMB,and assisted the customer to complete the foreign exchange settlement and verification and cancellation process.

• Use of third-party foreign exchange collection on behalf triggers the risk of false trade inspection
• Failure to lock the exchange rate leads to large foreign exchange losses
• Inconsistency between received foreign exchange funds and declared cargo value affects tax rebate and foreign exchange verification and cancellation
