The tax payment time for export by agency varies according to different situations. Generally speaking, after the goods are exported and the financial sales treatment is done, the tax declaration should be made as required. If the export by agency is in the form of general trade, after the goods are declared for export at the customs, the agency will handle the tax declaration of VAT and consumption tax for the exported goods to the competent tax authority within the VAT declaration period of the next month. For example, if the goods are declared for export at the customs on October 15th and the financial sales treatment is completed, then from November 1st to 15th (assuming there is no special adjustment in the declaration period), the agency will handle the relevant tax declaration.
For special business types such as cross-border e-commerce, there will be different regulations on the tax payment time. Some may implement "release upon list verification and summary declaration", and the summary declaration deadline is before the 15th of the next month. Regional policies will also have an impact. Some regions may have special regulations on the tax preference period or declaration deadline. It is recommended to pay attention to the announcements of the local tax authorities. In conclusion, it is necessary to communicate with the agency and the local tax department in a timely manner to accurately grasp the tax payment time and make good fund arrangements.

Generally, taxes are paid within the specified declaration period after the export. If the business is complex, such as involving the combined declaration of multiple shipments of goods, the time may be postponed a little, but basically it will not exceed two months.

The tax payment time is also somewhat related to the transportation time of the goods. If the transportation time of the goods is long and the time to collect all the documents is late, the tax declaration time will naturally be postponed. Usually, the tax declaration should be made as soon as possible after the transportation is completed.
