2.Common Risks and Pitfall Avoidance Guidelines for Shijiazhuang Import and Export Agency
I previously encountered Mr.Song from a hardware tools enterprise in Shijiazhuang.When he exported to Germany in 2025,due to failure to check anti-dumping duties in advance,his goods were subject to an additional 22% anti-dumping duty upon arrival at the port,resulting in a loss of nearly RMB 120,000.Based on such cases,the following are key risks to focus on in 2026:
- Risk of Incorrect HS Code Classification: In 2026,the customs control rate for machinery products has increased by 15%.If HS classification is incorrect (e.g.classifying "power tools" as "hand tools"),it will lead to cargo detention and inspection.It is recommended to find a professional agency for pre-classification in advance and verify whether declaration elements are consistent with actual goods.
- Anti-Dumping Duty Warning: In 2026,the EU and the US will impose anti-dumping duties on some chemical products from China.Enterprises need to check the latest tax rates of destination countries in advance (e.g.the EU’s tax rate on PVC has risen to 35%),and applying for RCEP Certificate of Origin can enjoy tariff reductions.
- Demurrage Fee Hidden Trap: Overdue storage at the destination port will incur high fees (e.g.the free storage period at the Port of Los Angeles is only 7 days).It is recommended to confirm the free storage period in advance.Zhongshitong can monitor the manifest status in real time and remind customers to handle it in a timely manner.
3.Differentiated Advantages of Zhongshitong’s Shijiazhuang Import and Export Agency
As an agency headquartered in Shanghai,Zhongshitong can provide cross-regional solutions for Shijiazhuang enterprises:
- National Port Linkage: Support Shijiazhuang enterprises to declare at ports like Shanghai and Shenzhen remotely,and leverage the efficient inspection channel of the Port of Shanghai,reducing customs clearance time by 20% compared with local ports.
- 2026 New Regulations Compliance: Update RCEP member countries’ tariff policies and EU/US technical barriers (e.g.the EU REACH Regulation adding 10 restricted substances in 2026) in real time,and warn of risks in advance.
- Supported by Practical Cases: In 2025,we helped a chemical enterprise in Shijiazhuang solve the MSDS review problem for hazardous chemicals.The original review process took 10 days,but with Zhongshitong’s professional communication,it was completed in 3 days,avoiding shipping schedule delays.
4.Key Points of 2026 Shijiazhuang Import Agency Process
For imports,Shijiazhuang enterprises need to focus on:
- Import of mechanical and electrical products requires prior application for a mechanical and electrical license,and Zhongshitong can assist in quick application;
- Import of food products requires Chinese label registration to ensure compliance with national food safety standards;
- Import of bulk commodities (e.g.iron ore) needs attention to customs valuation,and providing real transaction documents to avoid additional taxes.
In conclusion,Shijiazhuang enterprises need to pay attention to process details and risk prevention and control in the import and export agency process.With its national port network and 20 years of practical experience,Zhongshitong can provide one-stop services for enterprises from pre-preparation to post-tax rebate,helping enterprises clear customs efficiently and compliantly.
