In the case of goods export agency, there are generally two situations regarding the subject of receiving foreign exchange. One is that the agency receives the foreign exchange. After receiving the foreign exchange, the agency deducts the relevant fees and then pays the remaining amount to the entrusting party. In this way, the agency has a strong control over the capital flow and can reduce the risks of the entrusting party receiving foreign exchange, especially applicable to the situation where the entrusting party is not very familiar with the international process of receiving foreign exchange. However, the agency needs to have a good reputation, otherwise there may be risks of misappropriating funds.
The other is that the entrusting party receives the foreign exchange directly. The entrusting party is responsible for the reception and settlement of foreign exchange on its own. This way allows the entrusting party to directly control the funds, but it requires the entrusting party to have perfect capabilities of receiving foreign exchange and foreign exchange management. If the entrusting party has insufficient understanding of the international market and foreign exchange policies, it may face risks such as exchange rate fluctuations and untimely receipt of foreign exchange. The choice of which way to receive foreign exchange should be made by comprehensively considering factors such as the company's own capabilities and the degree of trust in the agency.

Usually, the agency receives the foreign exchange because the agency company is familiar with the process and can handle complex foreign exchange matters, which can improve the efficiency of receiving foreign exchange. However, it is necessary to sign a good contract and clarify details such as the time of capital settlement.
