Our company is engaged in re - export trade. We have made payment of foreign exchange, but we haven't received any foreign exchange yet. We are very anxious now and worried about various risks and troubles. I would like to ask how to handle this situation? Should we communicate with the customer first or contact the bank? Do we need to report to the foreign exchange administration? I hope that friends with experience can give some suggestions. Thank you!

First of all, it is necessary to get in touch with the customer as soon as possible to clarify the reason for the non - receipt of foreign exchange. If it is a problem of the customer's capital turnover, a new payment time can be negotiated and confirmed in writing. If it is caused by a trade dispute, it is necessary to actively negotiate to resolve the differences.

At the same time, communicate with the bank in a timely manner to check the in - transit situation of funds and confirm whether there is a delay in funds or other bank operational problems. If the reasons of the bank and the customer are excluded, it is necessary to consider whether operational errors on one's own, such as document problems, have affected the receipt of foreign exchange, and correct them in a timely manner.

In addition, according to foreign exchange management regulations, enterprises should follow the requirements of the Guidelines for the Administration of Foreign Exchange in Goods Trade. If the foreign exchange is not received beyond the specified time limit, it may be necessary to report to the foreign exchange administration. Specifically, you can consult the local foreign exchange management department and report according to the requirements by providing relevant materials to avoid the risk of violations.
