In an agency export business, the foreign exchange is generally received by the agent. The reason is that the agent signs the export contract with foreign customers in its own name and is responsible for a series of operations such as export declaration and foreign exchange receipt. After receiving the foreign exchange, the agent will deduct relevant payments such as agency fees and then pay the remaining amount to the principal.
The usual operation process is that foreign customers transfer the foreign exchange to the foreign currency account designated by the agent. After receiving the foreign exchange, the agent conducts foreign exchange settlement and pays the RMB to the principal as agreed. It should be noted here that the agent's foreign exchange receipt must comply with the national foreign exchange management regulations. The principal needs to clarify details such as foreign exchange receipt and settlement, such as the foreign exchange receipt time and the handling fee standard, with the agent in the contract to protect the rights and interests of both parties.
