Xuzhou Steel Import and Export Agency, Full-Process Compliance Services Covering Customs Declaration, Tax Refund, Foreign Exchange Settlement and International Logistics

I cooperated with Manager Xie from Xuzhou last year.His steel trading company exported 2,000 tons of rebar to Malaysia.He previously worked with a small local agency,and marked the wrong raw material proportion on the RCEP Certificate of Origin.After the goods arrived at the port,they were inspected by customs.He not only failed to enjoy the zero tariff preference,but also paid an extra 12% penalty tariff,with total loss of nearly 200,000 RMB.After Manager Xie contacted us later,he learned that such problems can be completely avoided as long as document pre-audit is carried out 7 days in advance.

Core Cost Comparison for Xuzhou Steel Import and Export

Key Operation Points for Steel Import and Export in 2026

• Pre-verification of destination country trade policies: In 2026,the EU’s provisional safeguard tariff on Chinese hot rolled steel coils is raised to 26%,and the additional tariff under US Section 232 remains at 25%.Enterprises exporting to these regions can make compliant third-country transshipment plans in advance,or adjust product classification to avoid high tax burden.For exports to RCEP member states,pay attention to the marking of raw material proportion on the Certificate of Origin.ASEAN countries have added a networked verification mechanism in 2026,and incorrect marking will lead to direct rejection of tariff reduction and exemption applications.
• Strict control of document consistency: MTC (Material Test Certificate) information of steel products shall fully match the information on customs declaration forms and bills of lading,including steel grade,weight,production batch and other information.For bulk cargo,draft survey error shall be controlled within 0.3%,excess part will be judged as false declaration by destination port customs,resulting in fines or even cargo detention.
• Pre-control of logistics costs: In 2026,the fluctuation range of global bulk carrier freight rates reaches 20%.Shipping space prices shall be locked 15 days in advance to avoid premium from last-minute booking.During special periods such as Ramadan and Christmas season,shipment shall be arranged 20 days in advance to avoid demurrage caused by port congestion.Currently,demurrage at Southeast Asian ports has risen to 8,000 USD per day.

Full-Process Agency Implementation Service Description

Headquartered in Shanghai,we support cross-regional declaration at all ports across the country.Local steel enterprises in Xuzhou do not need to change delivery locations.After loading at local factories in Xuzhou,all procedures including customs declaration,logistics,foreign exchange settlement and tax refund are fully handled by us.We have local agency networks in more than 30 major countries around the world,which can coordinate destination port customs clearance documents in advance,track cargo status in real time,and provide solutions within 24 hours in case of abnormalities.

In March 2026,we cooperated with an order from a large steel enterprise in Xuzhou,which needed to export 5,000 tons of H-beams to Thailand for a local government infrastructure project.A penalty of 100,000 RMB would be charged for each day of delay.We audited all documents 10 days in advance,coordinated priority berthing and loading at Shanghai Port,coordinated with local Thai agents for customs clearance documents,and completed networked pre-verification of the RCEP Certificate of Origin.Customs clearance was completed on the day the goods arrived at the port,and the goods were delivered to the construction site 3 days ahead of schedule,with zero tariff preference enjoyed,saving a total of 220,000 RMB in costs for the client.

Compliance Red Lines to Be Alert To

First,do not falsely report cargo value.Networked verification between customs and foreign exchange bureaus has been fully covered in 2026.Once the cargo value is found inconsistent with the foreign exchange receipt amount,you will face fines in minor cases,and be disqualified from export tax refund or even listed on the dishonest list in serious cases.Second,do not forge Certificates of Origin.At present,all major countries in the world have realized networked verification of Certificates of Origin.Once forgery is found,the enterprise will be directly listed on the import blacklist,and all products will be unable to enter the market of that country in the future.

In addition,for bulk cargo export,you must declare loading and unloading time in advance.Many enterprises ignore this link,and there will be no available berth after the goods arrive at the port.Port congestion for one week will generate hundreds of thousands of RMB in demurrage,and such losses can be completely avoided through advance coordination.Do not directly accept remittance from private accounts in the foreign exchange receipt link,which is easy to be judged as abnormal foreign exchange receipt,leading to account freezing and affecting normal operation.
