The issuance of export invoices by agency companies falls into two situations. If it is an agency export, the consignor (that is, your company) should issue the export invoice. Because the sale of goods is essentially the behavior of the consignor, and the agency company only provides agency services. Generally, a general VAT invoice is issued for related businesses such as export tax rebate.
The specific steps are as follows: First, select the "Issue General VAT Invoice" module in the invoicing software; then, accurately fill in the purchaser's information. The name is the foreign customer, and the address, phone number, bank of deposit and account number, etc. should be filled in according to the actual situation; next, fill in the name of goods or taxable services, fill it in truthfully according to the exported products, and at the same time fill in the information such as specification model, unit, quantity, unit price, etc.; select the tax rate as "exempt" and fill in the remarks column according to the actual situation, such as the export contract number, trade mode, bill of lading number, etc.
If the agency company buys out the export, then the agency company needs to issue the export invoice according to the situation of selling goods to foreign customers. The process is similar to the above, but the relevant information of the purchaser should be accurately filled in by the agency company.

Generally speaking, if you are entrusting an agency to export, when you issue the export invoice, you should pay attention to filling in the relevant export information in the remarks column, which is crucial for the subsequent tax rebate. Information such as the export port and the customs declaration number should be clearly written.

If the agency company only charges the agency fee, then your company should issue the export invoice. When issuing, the commodity code should be selected correctly, otherwise it may affect the tax rebate. You can first check the corresponding code of the commodity in the e-tax bureau.

If the agency company buys out the export, the tax rate of the invoice they issue may depend on the specific commodity. Some are exempt, and some may be the normal tax rate. It should be confirmed in advance.

Regardless of who issues the invoice, it is necessary to ensure that the invoice information is consistent with the customs declaration form information, such as the name of the goods, quantity, amount, etc., otherwise it will cause trouble to the export and tax rebate.
