Full-process Professional Truck Export Agency Services, One-stop Guarantee for Compliance Customs Clearance and Proceeds Collection

Core Business Modules of Truck Export Agency

Truck export belongs to the export of large-scale electromechanical bulk cargo,involving many links and strict compliance requirements.It is difficult for enterprises to cover full-chain risks relying solely on their own teams.Our agency services start from pre-signing compliance pre-audit,covering the whole process of destination port certification,customs declaration and inspection,logistics and transportation,and tax refund settlement.

Destination Port Qualification Certification and Compliance Pre-audit

Certification requirements for commercial vehicles vary greatly from country to country.In 2026,the EU requires all imported commercial vehicles to pass WVTA certification,while the United States mandates DOT certification,and RCEP member countries can enjoy tariff reduction through FORM E certificate of origin.In early last year,Mr.Mo’s company exported 20 light trucks to Thailand.When filing declaration on their own,they failed to correctly fill in the vehicle model parameters on FORM E,and the goods were detained by customs after arrival at the port.After our intervention,we completed document correction and pre-audit in only 3 working days,helping the goods clear customs smoothly.

Special attention should be paid to Accurate HS Code Classification.Trucks are electromechanical products under heading 8704.Differences in codes for different displacements,driving types and purposes will directly affect tariff rates and supervision requirements.Once classified incorrectly,it will not only incur additional taxes and fees,but also trigger customs targeted inspection.

2026 Core Risk Warning for Truck Exports

• Anti-dumping duty risk: The EU’s anti-dumping duty rate on Chinese commercial vehicles has been adjusted to 18%-25% in 2026.If some enterprises fail to complete price undertaking filing in advance,they will be fully levied anti-dumping duty which cannot be deducted.
• Demurrage trap: In 2026,the free storage period of Los Angeles and Long Beach ports in the United States has been shortened from 7 days to 5 days,while the Port of Rotterdam in Europe has cancelled the free storage policy for general goods.Failure to book shipping space in advance or delayed customs clearance will incur demurrage of hundreds of dollars per day.
• Discrepant document risk: Countries such as Australia and Saudi Arabia require the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) to be completely consistent with the declaration information,and a VIN verification report issued by the original manufacturer is required,otherwise the goods will be directly detained.

Our risk control team will contact the destination port agent 7 days in advance to track policy changes of local ports,and conduct double review on all declaration documents to avoid any minor errors.In May 2026,Mr.Pang’s company exported 12 heavy trucks to Australia,and the goods were detained because the VIN verification report was not prepared in advance.We coordinated with local cooperative customs brokers to apply for a 10-day temporary storage grace period,and completed the reissue of the verification report urgently.In the end,only 2 days of demurrage was incurred,saving 80% of the cost than expected.

Optimization Plan for Truck Export Tax Refund

In 2026,the export tax rebate rate for domestic electromechanical products remains at 13%,but truck export involves the linkage between off-site customs declaration and factory tax refund.Many enterprises will experience extended tax refund cycles due to unsmooth document circulation.Our team can help enterprises realize the linked operation of Off-site Customs Declaration + Local Tax Refund.For example,goods declared at Shanghai Port can complete tax refund declaration directly at the factory locations such as Suzhou and Guangzhou,shortening the average tax refund cycle from 20-25 days to 10-15 days.

Last year,Ms.Ge’s company had a truck production base in Suzhou,and the goods exported to Saudi Arabia were declared at Shanghai Port.It took 22 days to declare tax refund on their own.After entrusting us as the agent,it only took 11 days to complete the tax refund arrival through the off-site declaration channel,saving a total of more than RMB 120,000 in capital occupation costs.

Full-chain Guarantee for Export Proceeds Collection Security

Truck export is a large-value transaction,and the risk of proceeds collection is directly related to the capital security of enterprises.In 2026,we will provide three kinds of proceeds collection guarantee schemes for cooperative customers: First,require the buyer to prepay 30% of the payment as a deposit,and the remaining 70% shall be paid against the copy of the bill of lading; Second,connect with bank factoring services to lock in accounts receivable risks; Third,customize exchange rate risk hedging plans to avoid foreign exchange losses caused by RMB exchange rate fluctuations.

It is particularly reminded that foreign exchange exchange on the black market is strictly prohibited.In 2026,the domestic customs and the State Administration of Foreign Exchange have jointly intensified the investigation and punishment of illegal foreign exchange transactions.Once found,they will face penalties of goods detention and fines.Our team will assist customers in completing foreign exchange settlement throughout the process to ensure that every payment meets compliance requirements.
