Nanjing Import Agency: Full-Channel Compliance Customs Clearance From Global Markets to Nanjing

As a core hub city in the Yangtze River Delta,Nanjing has more than 120,000 enterprises carrying out import business each year,covering mechanical equipment,chemical raw materials,electronic instruments and other categories.However,most enterprises lack systematic understanding of links such as customs valuation,commodity inspection requirements,and license handling in the import process,which makes it easy for them to fall into compliance risks or extra cost traps.As an agency deeply engaged in the import agency field,we combine the latest 2026 supervision rules of Nanjing Port to sort out key practical operation points.

I.Breakdown of Core Compliance Links for Nanjing Import Agency

In 2026,the General Administration of Customs upgraded the national integrated customs clearance system,and the valuation and inspection rate of Nanjing Port increased by 37%,with the rejection rate of self-declaration by enterprises as high as 22%.The following are the three links where mistakes are most likely to occur:

• Accurate Declaration for Customs Valuation: Some enterprises underreport the value of goods to reduce costs,or ignore the declaration obligation of freight,insurance premiums and royalty fees.In 2026,Nanjing Customs launched a new price comparison database.Once the declared price is lower than 85% of the average value in the database,inspection will be triggered directly.Last year,an auto parts enterprise in Nanjing that our supervisor Xie worked with was imposed an additional 180,000 yuan in tax and late fee by the customs for failing to declare overseas technical service fees.The correct approach is to sort out a full set of documents such as contracts,invoices,and technical agreements in advance,and entrust an agent to conduct pre-valuation.
• Preparations for Pre-Inspection of Commodity Inspection: For categories such as mechanical and electrical products,food,and cosmetics,Nanjing Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau requires pre-inspection applications to be submitted 7 working days in advance.A new "online verification of the authenticity of certificate of origin" link was added in 2026,and enterprises that forge certificates of origin will be included in the list of dishonest entities.If importing mechanical equipment from the EU,CE certification verification should be handled in advance,otherwise commodity inspection cannot be passed.
• Classified Handling of Import Licenses: The handling cycle of licenses for different categories varies greatly.For example,automatic import licenses only take 3 working days,while endangered species licenses take 15 working days.Local agents in Nanjing are familiar with the handling procedures of various departments,and can match the handling channels for corresponding categories in advance to avoid port detention fees caused by document delays.

III.Practical Pitfall Avoidance Guide for Nanjing Import Business

Last year,a medical device enterprise in Nanjing imported CT scanners from the United States,and was required by the customs to reclassify the HS code and pay an additional 210,000 yuan in tariffs due to incorrect HS code classification.After our team intervened,we adjusted the code to a more favorable tax rate range by checking the technical parameters of the equipment and consulting the classification pre-ruling center,helping the enterprise save 120,000 yuan in tax.For the import business of Nanjing enterprises,the following three points should be focused on:

• Confirm trade terms in advance: If EXW terms are adopted,the division of responsibilities for overseas pickup,transportation,and insurance should be clarified to avoid underreporting of freight.For imported goods from RCEP member countries in 2026,you can enjoy up to 90% tariff reduction with the certificate of origin,so Nanjing enterprises need to check the issuing rules of the certificate of origin in advance.
• Avoid the trap of document exchange fees: Some freight forwarders charge high document exchange fees,while formal agencies will publicize all charging items in advance to avoid "hidden consumption".The standard of document exchange fee at Nanjing Port is generally 150-300 yuan per shipment.If it exceeds this range,you need to confirm the charging basis in advance.
• Exchange loss risk prevention and control: The fluctuation range of RMB exchange rate will increase in 2026.Enterprises can lock in exchange rate costs through the forward foreign exchange settlement and sale service of the agency to avoid additional losses caused by exchange rate fluctuations.
