WhyAgency export,Why is business scale declaration so important?

According to the 2023 Trade Statistics Annual Report of the General Administration of Customs,errors in business scale declaration accounted for 37.6% of all detected false trade declaration cases. The scale of agency export business directly affects:

• determination of customs supervision categories
• Export tax refundCalculation base
  • An FOB price calculation error exceeding 5% will trigger a review mechanism

What core elements does business scale declaration include?

The 2025 version of the customs declaration form requires complete reporting of:

• total contract amount(including trade terms)
• actual transaction method
  • For example: EXW requires specifying the exact delivery address at the factory
• goods measurement units(must correspond to HS codes)
• breakdown of price components(freight and insurance costs to be listed separately)

How to avoid typical errors in business scale declaration?

A Yangtze River Delta textile company was required to repay RMB 820,000 in tax refunds in 2024 due to declaration errors, with key lessons including:

• Incorrect exchange rate conversion: Must use the statistical exchange rate published monthly by customs
• confusion of trade methods: Agency exports and self-operated exports must not be mixed in declarations
• unit conversion errors: Special attention must be paid to the conversion coefficient between meters and kilograms for textiles

What impacts will the 2025 customs system upgrade have on declarations?

The newly launchedInternational Trade Single Window 3.0 versionhas added two new verification rules:

• intelligent price reasonableness comparison (referencing industry benchmark values)

  • Monthly export value fluctuations exceeding 30% require explanatory documents

What to do when encountering uncertain declaration issues?

Recommend adopting a three-step response strategy:

• Immediately suspend the customs clearance process for related goods
• Request complete copies of trade documents from the agency service provider
• Apply for pre-classification confirmation through Customs 12360 service hotline
  • Average processing time has been shortened to 2 working days

Professional advice: Establish a declaration verification mechanism

We recommend enterprises implementDual verification system:

• Business department provides original contracts and invoices
• Finance department reviews foreign exchange payment records
• Logistics department verifies packing list data

After cross-checking data from three departments, the declaration can be submitted, effectively reducing declaration error rate to below 0.3%.
