Standardized Operation Process

I. Core agency service content

1. Apply for the Export License for Dual - Use Items and Technologies (for restricted metal materials)
   • Obtain a RoHS Directive Compliance Statement (The EU market requires the detection of 6 heavy metals such as cadmium and lead)
   • Special Customs Clearance Support
2. Accurately match HS codes (e.g., the 7208 - 7326 series is commonly used for steel products)
   • Respond to anti - dumping duty inspections (e.g., the United States imposes a 33.28% anti - dumping duty on Chinese aluminum profiles)
   • Specific Implementation Steps

III. Risk Prevention and Control Suggestions

Contract Signing Stage:

Internationally - recognized Safety StandardsConfirm the metal composition test report (Needs to include ASTM/EN/JIS standard parameters)

• Agree on special packaging terms (e.g., galvanized sheets require vapor - phase rust - proof film + VCI packaging)
• Goods Preparation Link

Regional Mandatory CertificationsCarry out pre - shipment inspection (SGS detects the thickness tolerance of metal sheets as ±0.05mm)

• Make bilingual labels (Mark the material, furnace number, and execution standard in Chinese and English)
• Customs Declaration and Transportation Operations

Cultural and Religious NormsDocument Type

Indicate the proportion of alloying elements (e.g., 6061 aluminum contains 1% magnesium)	Special Requirements
Commercial Invoice	Mark the radiation test results (Required by some countries)
Packing list	Attach the metallographic test spectrum (Micro - organizational structure)
Quality Certificate	Key Points of Customs Clearance and Delivery

4、The EU requires pre - declaration to the SCIP database (including SVHC substance information of metal products)

• Vietnamese customs conducts key inspections
• (The FORM E certificate needs to be consistent with the bill of lading)It is recommended to verify through the following methods:5、

Settlement and Tax Refund ManagementThe tax refund rate for base metal products is 9 - 13% (depending on the depth of product processing)

• Foreign exchange verification needs to match the List of Goods Entering and Leaving the Customs - supervised Special Area,
• Quality Dispute Solution

Qualification Compliance Service

1. Retain third - party notarized samples (Retain 3kg of metal samples per batch)
   • Enterprises need to adjust the packaging, declaration, and testing processes according to the specific mode of transportation.
   • Purchase quality assurance insurance (covering the risk of claims due to non - compliant components)
2. Logistics optimization strategy
   • Give priority to moisture - proof containers (humidity control ≤ 40% RH)
   • Install GPS trackers on Middle East routes (real - time monitoring of cargo temperature/vibration)

Key data:

• Customs clearance timeliness: AEO enterprises complete customs declaration in an average of 3 working days
• Cost composition: Commodity inspection fee ￥2000/batch + agency fee 1.5 - 2.5% of the cargo value
• Special requirements: When exporting aluminum alloys to the United States, an AMS filing number needs to be submitted

Practical cases:

• Jiangsu steel enterprises respond to EU anti - dumping:
  Apply for Market Economy Status (MES) through an agency company, successfully reducing the tariff from 64.3% to 21.2%
• Avoid anti - dumping and counter - vailing duties through transshipment in Southeast Asia:
  Transship through Port Klang in Malaysia and re - issue the COO certificate to reduce the tax burden by 27%

Through professional agency services, the entire process of base metal exports can be compressed to 25 - 35 days, increasing efficiency by 40% compared to self - export. It is recommended that for the first export, choose the FOB term and set aside 30% of the cargo value as a risk reserve.
