Client Feedback

What Our Export Partners Say

Real results from international buyers who trust Zhongshen to ship their goods out of China.

★★★★★

"We needed to export machinery from Shanghai without a Chinese entity. Zhongshen had us operational in 3 days. The tax refund arrived before our goods even reached the destination port."

MK
Michael K.
VP Operations, EuroGoods GmbH
★★★★★

"Our previous agent missed a certificate of origin deadline and held up our entire shipment for 2 weeks. Zhongshen has never missed a document in 18 months of working together."

ST
Sarah T.
Supply Chain Director, Pacific Sourcing Ltd
★★★★★

"The VAT refund process alone saves us $40,000+ annually. Before Zhongshen, our old supplier told us the refund wasn't possible for our product category — they were wrong."

Common Questions

Export Agency FAQ

Still have questions? WhatsApp us — we respond within 30 minutes.

Why do I need a China export agent if I already have a supplier?+
Chinese manufacturers often hold a production license, not an export license — meaning they legally cannot export on your behalf. Even if they can, they rarely manage VAT refunds, foreign exchange settlement, or compliance documentation correctly. Zhongshen acts as the licensed exporter of record, ensuring everything is filed accurately so you receive your goods, your refunds, and your settlement without delays.
Can my supplier just export directly without an agent?+
Some factories hold their own export license, but many do not. Even those that do often lack the expertise to handle VAT refund filings, FX settlement, or multi-destination documentation correctly. Working with a dedicated export agent like Zhongshen ensures compliance, maximizes your tax refund, and removes liability from your supplier relationship.
How does the VAT export tax refund work and how much can I recover?+
China refunds the VAT paid during domestic production when goods are exported. Refund rates range from 0% to 13% depending on the HS code of your product. We assess your eligible refund rate during onboarding, file the application immediately upon export clearance, and transfer the refund directly to your designated account — typically within 1 working day of processing.
What documents do I need to provide to get started?+
To begin, we need your purchase agreement or proforma invoice from your supplier, your company registration documents, and the destination country details. We handle all export-side documentation including customs declaration, packing list, commercial invoice under our entity, certificate of origin, and any required inspection certificates.
Do you handle export from all Chinese ports or only Shanghai?+
We operate across all major Chinese export ports including Shanghai, Ningbo, Guangzhou (Nansha & Huangpu), Shenzhen (Yantian, Shekou), Tianjin, and Qingdao. Regardless of where your supplier is located, we coordinate the export from the most efficient port for your route.
How quickly can you start handling my export shipments?+
For most clients, we can be fully operational within 2–3 working days of receiving your company documentation and signing a service agreement. For urgent first shipments, contact us via WhatsApp and we will prioritize your onboarding.
