Re - export trade usually cannot be tax - refunded. This is because the goods in re - export trade are not substantially processed or produced in the home country. The goods are directly transported from the producing country to the consuming country, not declared for import and export in the home country, and do not meet the basic condition of "actual departure of goods" for export tax refund. For the tax - refund of general trade, after the goods are declared for export and meet other relevant regulations, the paid value - added tax, consumption tax, etc. can be applied for refund.
Take Zhongshitong as an example. If an enterprise conducts re - export trade and the goods are directly transported from country A to country B without being declared for import and export at China's customs, it cannot obtain a tax refund. If you want to handle tax - refund, you need to confirm whether the trade mode meets the tax - refund requirements. For general trade tax - refund, you need to prepare materials such as export declaration forms, invoices, and verification forms, and apply according to the specified process. However, due to non - compliance with the essential conditions for tax - refund, re - export trade cannot carry out tax - refund operations.

Re - export trade cannot be tax - refunded mainly because it does not meet the requirements for goods transportation and declaration in export tax refund, which is quite different from general trade in this regard. General trade is that domestic enterprises export self - produced or purchased goods and can be tax - refunded according to the specified process, while re - export trade cannot.
