For the tax refund declaration of export agency, first, the consignor shall declare for tax refund. The process is as follows:
Step 1: The consignor shall, within the VAT tax return periods from the next month after the date of export declaration of the goods to April 30 of the following year, collect relevant vouchers and handle the VAT and consumption tax exemption and refund declaration for the exported goods with the competent tax authority.
Step 2: Prepare materials, generally including the export agency agreement, export goods declaration form, export invoice, certificate of export agency goods, etc. The certificate of export agency goods shall be applied for and issued by the trustee (agency company) to its competent tax authority after the goods are exported, based on materials such as the consignment export agency agreement and export declaration form.

However, as long as the materials are prepared and the process is followed in accordance with the regulations, the tax refund can be declared smoothly.
