The export trade agency is not necessarily single - named. It is divided into two situations: single - named and double - named.
The single - named means that both the operating unit and the consignor unit on the export declaration form show the name of the agency company. In this way, the agency company is responsible for the entire export process, and the operation is relatively simple. When it comes to tax rebates, the agency company handles the tax rebates, and the money is directly refunded to the agency company's account. Then the agency company settles with the principal. This is worry - free and labor - saving for some principals who are not familiar with the export process and tax rebate policies.
The double - named means that the operating unit shows the name of the agency company, and the consignor unit shows the name of the principal. In this way, the principal participates in the export affairs to a certain extent, and the tax rebate is handled by the principal itself, which can better control the tax rebate link. Whether to choose single - named or double - named should be determined according to the principal's own situation, the cooperation mode with the agency company, and the control requirements for tax rebates and other matters.

If it is single - named, the documents are relatively concise, and it may be smoother in some customs clearance links because all the document names are consistent, reducing the troubles that may arise due to inconsistent names. Moreover, the agency company handles various matters uniformly, with stronger professionalism.

The double - named also has its advantages. The principal has a stronger sense of presence in the export. For some principals with their own brands and customer resources, the double - named can better maintain their own business image, and they are more autonomous in tax rebate operations.

If the principal is not very familiar with the export business, the single - named is more suitable, and the agency company can provide a one - stop service. However, if the principal itself has export experience and only uses the agency company's qualifications, the double - named may be more in line with the needs.

In terms of foreign exchange collection, the single - named is relatively centralized, and the agency company is responsible for it, which is convenient for fund management. However, when it is double - named, the principal can also participate in the foreign exchange collection process and has more room for independent arrangements.

From a tax perspective, the single - named tax rebate is operated by the agency company, and it has a more accurate grasp of the policies. For the double - named, the principal handles the tax rebate by itself and needs to have a thorough understanding of the tax rebate policies, otherwise, it is easy to make mistakes.

The choice of single - named or double - named also depends on how the agency agreement is signed. Some agency companies may prefer the single - named for easy management, while others will choose flexibly according to the principal's needs.

In terms of market promotion, the double - named can enable the principal to better display its brand, while the single - named may weaken the principal's brand image to a certain extent.
