With the deepening of the construction of the Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Circle,Jianyang City will become a major transportation hub in 2026.The year-on-year increase was 27%,but 90% of small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises still face challenges due to irregular customs clearance procedures,resulting in an increase of more than 30% in the cost of goods being held up in ports.Choosing the right customs clearance agent is not just about compliance,but also a key to reducing costs and improving efficiency.

Customs clearance compliance and cost traps under Chengdu-Chongqing policy dividends

Jianyang,as an important node of Chengdu International Land Port,is subject to the "Special Measures for Facilitating Cross-Border Trade in the Chengdu-Chongqing Region" implemented since 2025,which requires enterprises to achieve "three-in-one" (data interoperability of customs declaration forms,manifests,and logistics documents) in the processes of customs declaration,inspection,and release.Many enterprises have suffered from delays in declaration due to their neglect of regional policy details.

The core advantage of the local agent lies in its in-depth understanding of the "Chengdu International Land Port Regional Customs Clearance Guidelines",which enables them to utilize the "local declaration + port inspection and release" policy to shorten the operation cycle by more than 2 days.
