The consignor of import agency can purchase foreign exchange. Under normal circumstances, if the consignor has the right to engage in import and export operations and has completed the relevant registration with the foreign exchange administration, it can purchase foreign exchange on its own. First of all, the consignor should ensure that its trade background is real and legal, and prepare materials such as import contracts, invoices, customs declarations, etc. that can prove the authenticity of the trade. Secondly, it needs to handle the foreign exchange purchase business through the bank, and the bank will review the materials according to relevant regulations, and after passing the review, it can purchase foreign exchange for payment. If the consignor does not have the right to engage in import and export operations, generally it cannot directly purchase foreign exchange. It can be purchased and paid overseas by a qualified import agency company like Zhongshitong, but both parties need to clarify relevant matters such as foreign exchange purchase in the agency agreement.
In short, whether the consignor can purchase foreign exchange mainly depends on its qualifications and the compliance of the trade background.
