Dynamic updates on compliance of foreign trade exports

Recently, domestic customs supervision, chemical export control, and multi country market access rules have undergone centralized updates, covering multiple mainstream export categories such as chemical raw materials, coatings, electrical appliances, and new energy equipment. For foreign trade enterprises and cross-border logistics practitioners, timely follow-up on policy changes and adjustment of shipping standards are key to avoiding compliance risks and grasping market dividends.

Starting from June, the scope of regular customs inspections has been expanded

Starting from June 1, 2026, the customs officially launched the annual commodity inspection work, extending the inspection scope to most imported and exported goods beyond the statutory inspection. This also means that the probability of inspecting ordinary goods that were previously thought to be "not inspected" has significantly increased this year.

Among them, export goods such as infant and child products, low-voltage electrical appliances, and other household goods are the key inspection objects. At present, customs places more emphasis on the consistency and completeness of declaration information, product qualifications, packaging, and documentation. Minor declaration deviations and missing information may lead to delayed inspection and rectification of goods, which will affect the delivery time and credit of enterprises. Daily compliance self inspection is essential.

Short term tax-free window for electric school buses in Bangladesh opens

Bangladesh has recently updated its import trade policy, opening up limited time duty-free import permissions for electric school buses. The policy is jointly issued by the local finance department and tax bureau to help upgrade local green transportation. For domestic new energy school buses and electric vehicle export enterprises, it is a rare short-term market dividend.

It should be noted that the policy window is very limited and will only take effect until June 30, 2026. Enterprises with corresponding shipping needs can seize the policy cycle to plan shipments and seize incremental opportunities in overseas markets.

New mandatory environmental standards for paint products

Enterprises planning to deeply cultivate the Saudi building materials market need to pay special attention. The new regulations of the Saudi SASO standard organization stipulate that from October 1, 2026, all paint and varnish products used in construction scenes must obtain environmental performance efficiency labels before entering the local market for circulation.

The new regulations cover the entire supply chain of import, sales, and use, and the threshold has been comprehensively raised. Related enterprises need to prepare for certification and rectify product compliance standards in advance to avoid problems such as cargo detention, inability to clear customs, and trade losses after the implementation of new regulations.

South Sudan requires all imported goods to obtain a free electronic import license

The South Sudan Revenue Authority (SSRA) has announced that all imported goods must be required to obtain a free Electronic Import Permit (E-Permit) to curb freight forwarding, enhance customs transparency, and increase tax revenue. The authorities stated that this move can strengthen the traceability audit of each batch of goods and reduce illegal trade.

SSRA warns that some customs clearance agents may be punished or have their goods seized due to their suspected involvement in goods transfer and tampering with documents. Importers must truthfully declare the destination and value of the goods, and the authorities have strengthened the price verification mechanism. SSRA emphasizes that the license is free and mandatory, and calls on the business community not to trust unofficial tax rate information and to consult the tax bureau directly.
