Nantong Professional Export Agency, Cross-port Customs Declaration, Tax Refund and Foreign Exchange Collection Full-chain Compliance Practical Services

I have worked with nearly 100 local foreign trade enterprises in Nantong,covering multiple categories such as textiles,hardware tools,general mechanical parts.Most enterprises looking for export agencies focus on three core demands: reducing unnecessary costs,avoiding compliance risks,and shortening tax refund arrival cycles.Many enterprises have stepped on quite a few pitfalls when handling exports independently before,such as being put under supervision for customs control due to HS Code classification errors,or having goods detained due to unfamiliarity with the latest policies of destination countries,with losses ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of yuan.

Practical Case Reference

I previously worked with Ms.Fu from Qidong,Nantong,who exports manual hardware tools to EU and Japan markets.In December 2025,she handled the shipment from Shanghai Port to Italy independently.Because the customs declarator classified the HS Code under the EU anti-dumping catalog,the container was put under supervision for inspection,detained for 7 days,with detention fees and container handling fees totaling RMB 23,000,and also delayed the customer’s delivery date,paying 5% breach of contract penalty.

Later she entrusted us as her agency.The first step was to conduct a special HS Code review for all her product categories,separately classify products that meet EU anti-dumping exemption clauses,and conduct pre-review of CE certification in advance,and handle Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) Certificate of Origin for Japan-bound orders in advance.For the same category of goods shipped in March 2026,customs clearance efficiency improved by 4 days,no additional costs incurred,Japan line tariffs reduced by 4.2%,helping her save nearly RMB 180,000 in total for the whole year.

3 Types of Compliance Risks Nantong Export Enterprises Must Avoid in 2026

First is intentional misclassification of HS Code,under-declaring goods value to evade taxes.In 2026,the customs valuation model has integrated cross-border e-commerce platform price data.Once the declared price is found to deviate by more than 15% from the market average,supervision will be triggered,and the enterprise will be included in the list of untrustworthy entities,with all subsequent goods subject to key inspection.

Second is foreign exchange collection via private accounts,which not only makes export tax refund impossible,but also triggers abnormal verification by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange,resulting in fines at minimum,or suspension of import and export business rights at maximum.

Third is intentional under-declaration of product categories for exports to anti-dumping countries.In 2026,EU and US impose up to 47% anti-dumping duties on Chinese hardware and textile products.Once found by destination country customs,full anti-dumping duties will be added,even goods will be confiscated directly,with all losses borne by the exporter.

Our team is located in Shanghai,with cross-port declaration rights covering national ports and a global agency network of more than 120 countries.Local enterprises in Nantong,regardless of EXW,FOB or CIF terms,can connect to our services without traveling to Shanghai specially.All documents can be transmitted online or picked up on site,and full-chain progress can be queried in real time.
