In the agency export business, the foreign exchange is generally collected by the agency. This is because the agency signs export contracts with foreign customers in its own name and is responsible for a series of export operations such as customs declaration and foreign exchange collection. After receiving the foreign exchange, the agency will pay the remaining amount to the principal after deducting the relevant agency fees and prepaid expenses according to the agency agreement signed with the principal.
There are several advantages to this operation. On the one hand, the agency specializes in export business and is more experienced in the process of collecting foreign exchange and risk control, which can effectively avoid the risks of collecting foreign exchange caused by unfamiliarity with the rules. On the other hand, collecting foreign exchange in the name of the agency is convenient for uniformly handling relevant procedures such as export tax rebates.
If there are problems during the process of collecting foreign exchange, the division of responsibilities depends on the agency agreement. If it is due to the agency's operational errors, such as failing to timely follow up on the arrival of foreign exchange, illegal operations resulting in losses of foreign exchange, etc., the agency shall bear the corresponding responsibilities; if it is due to the principal's own reasons such as providing incorrect information, the principal shall be responsible for it by itself.
