First of all, confirm the specific terms regarding payment in the agreement signed with the agent, such as the payment time and payment method. Generally, after the tax rebate arrives in the agent's account, it will be transferred to you in accordance with the agreement.
You can take the initiative to contact the agent, inquire about the situation of the tax rebate funds, and understand their internal transfer process and estimated time. At the same time, prepare relevant supporting materials, such as export declarations, invoices, etc., to meet the possible inspection requirements of the agent and prove the authenticity of the business.
If the agent delays payment for various reasons, stay calm, communicate amicably first, and clearly inform the other party to follow the agreement. If communication is fruitless, safeguard your rights and interests through legal channels based on the agreement. In short, following the agreement, communicating actively, and keeping relevant vouchers will help you smoothly receive the export tax rebate from the agent.
