The problem of non - receipt of foreign exchange in agency export is rather thorny. First of all, it is necessary to communicate fully with the agent to clarify the terms and responsibilities regarding the receipt of foreign exchange in the contract between the two parties and check whether the agent has breached the contract. If the agent is in breach of contract, its liability for breach of contract can be pursued according to the contract, and it can be required to bear the corresponding losses.
Secondly, contact the foreign customer to confirm the reason why the other party has not paid and see if it can be resolved through negotiation to get the customer to pay as soon as possible. If the customer cannot pay in a timely manner due to some special reasons, a payment extension can be negotiated and a supplementary agreement can be signed.
Furthermore, pay attention to tax handling. Communicate with the tax department in a timely manner, explain the situation, and handle the relevant procedures for the non - receipt of foreign exchange for exported goods as required to avoid the inability to handle export tax rebates or generate tax risks due to non - receipt of foreign exchange. At the same time, collect relevant evidence for possible dispute resolution in the future.
