Trading companies can act as agents for exports among themselves. In China, as long as they have legal business qualifications, trading companies are not restricted from conducting agency export business among themselves.
The specific process is generally as follows: First, the principal and the agent need to sign a detailed agency export agreement to clarify the rights and obligations of both parties, including key terms such as agency fees and goods delivery. Second, the agent is responsible for handling procedures such as export customs declaration and inspection, and the principal provides the corresponding goods information. Third, in the foreign exchange collection link, after the agent receives the foreign exchange, it settles with the principal as agreed.
During the operation, it should be noted that the agency agreement must be rigorous to avoid future disputes; at the same time, the principal should ensure the quality of the goods and the authenticity and effectiveness of the relevant documents, and the agent needs to strictly abide by the export operation specifications and handle various problems in a timely manner.

Export agency is possible. However, it should be noted that in terms of finance, revenues and expenditures need to be clearly divided to avoid tax risks. And the agent should do a good job in the supervision of the goods to ensure that the goods are exported as required by the contract.
