1. Before the goods are shipped out, assist in reviewing the core documents such as commercial invoice, packing list, foreign trade contract, customs declaration form, etc., to ensure that the key information such as product name, HS code, amount, etc., is consistent and compliant, and to avoid the risk of tax refunds being blocked or customs inspection due to discrepancies in the documents.

2. For specific markets such as RCEP member countries, provide guidance on how to correctly fill out documents such as certificates of origin to ensure that customers enjoy tariff benefits.

(2) Full process agent tax refund declaration

1. Agent mode: For enterprises that meet the conditions (especially production enterprises), they can cooperate with qualified comprehensive service enterprises to handle export tax rebate matters on behalf of the service enterprise. Customers do not need to connect with the tax bureau themselves, which greatly saves manpower and time costs.

2. Application operation: Organize and verify the data of the value-added tax invoice and the customs declaration form (i.e., "three forms are consistent"), submit the tax refund application through the electronic tax bureau system, and continuously track the review progress until the tax refund is received.

(3) Tax risk prevention and policy consultation

1. Interpret the latest changes in export tax rebate policies and customs policies in the destination country in a timely manner to ensure that the declaration is always in compliance.

2. Early identification and warning of potential risks such as letters of inquiry and missing documents, and providing guidance on building a compliance system.

(1) Increase profit margins

Through compliance tax refunds, enterprises can usually obtain tax refunds ranging from 3% to 13% of the value of the goods, which will directly be converted into the net profit of the enterprise.

(2) Accelerate the turnover of funds

1. The tax refund cycle can be significantly shortened by leveraging the A-class qualification of service providers or prepaid services. The industry-leading agent tax refund service can complete the advance tax refund within 1 to 3 working days, which is significantly better than the regular 30 to 45-day review cycle.

2. Single document pre-examination and digital verification (such as intelligent matching system) can effectively reduce the number of declaration errors and returns, further improving efficiency.
