There are various ways to receive foreign exchange in entrepot trade. Commonly, through bank collection, the exporter hands the documents to the collecting bank and entrusts it to collect money from the importer through the collecting bank in the importing place. There is also receiving foreign exchange by letter of credit. The importer applies to the bank to open a letter of credit, and the exporter ships the goods according to the requirements of the letter of credit and submits the conforming documents to receive payment. In addition, telegraphic transfer can also be used, where the importer directly remits the money to the exporter through the bank.
During the process of receiving foreign exchange, attention should be paid to the authenticity review of trade. Relevant contract, bill of lading, invoice and other transaction proof documents should be well kept for inspection by the bank or regulatory authorities. Meanwhile, attention should be paid to the risk of exchange rate fluctuations. The exchange rate can be locked through tools such as forward foreign exchange contracts. Moreover, the foreign exchange policies of different countries and regions are different, so it is necessary to understand them in advance to avoid affecting the receipt of foreign exchange due to policy issues.
