Whether pure agency export requires foreign exchange settlement depends on the situation. If the entrusting party collects foreign exchange on its own, then the agency does not need to conduct foreign exchange settlement. The entrusting party can just pay the agency fee to the agency as agreed after receiving the foreign exchange.
If the entrusting party entrusts the agency to collect foreign exchange, the agency needs to conduct foreign exchange settlement. The general process of foreign exchange settlement is as follows: After the goods are exported, the agency shall go to the bank to handle the foreign exchange settlement procedures with relevant documents such as the customs declaration form. In this process, it should be operated strictly in accordance with the foreign exchange management regulations to ensure compliance.
Regarding changes in foreign exchange policies, the agency should closely follow the policy information released by official channels such as the State Administration of Foreign Exchange and adjust the operation process in a timely manner. Meanwhile, when signing the agency agreement with the entrusting party, the risk-sharing method due to policy changes can be agreed upon to reduce its own risks.
