The tax payment situation for export by agency needs to be considered on a case-by-case basis. Usually, in terms of value-added tax, if the goods are exported by consignment agency and belong to taxable consumer goods subject to consumption tax, the consignor shall declare and pay the consumption tax and can handle the tax refund. The agency is not involved in the payment of consumption tax. For value-added tax, if the consignor is a manufacturing enterprise and meets the conditions, the exemption, credit, and refund method shall be implemented; if it is a foreign trade enterprise, the exemption and refund method shall be implemented.
In actual operation, generally, the consignor is responsible for tax declaration and payment of relevant taxes. The main responsibility of the agency is to assist the consignor in handling export matters and providing relevant documents, etc.
There will be differences in tax payment for different products. For example, for some products encouraged by the country for export, there may be a higher tax refund rate, while for products restricted for export, there may be different tax policies. It is recommended that the consignor timely understand the latest tax policies and declare and pay taxes according to the prescribed process to ensure tax compliance.

Generally, the agency only provides services and does not bear the responsibility of tax payment. The consignor shall declare and pay taxes according to its own enterprise nature and the situation of exported products. For example, foreign trade enterprises are generally exempt from and refunded taxes.
