In the agency export business, the foreign exchange is usually transferred to the agency export company. This is because the agency export company signs export contracts with foreign customers and declares customs, etc. in its own name. After receiving the foreign exchange, the agency export company will deduct the relevant agency fees and prepaid expenses, etc. according to the agency agreement with the entrusting party, and then pay the remaining amount to the entrusting export company.
There are mainly two reasons for doing so. On the one hand, from the perspective of the trade process, foreign customers pay the agency export company that signs the contract with them according to the contract agreement. On the other hand, the agency export company needs to complete a series of operations related to the export process such as foreign exchange receipt verification with the foreign exchange. However, the entrusting party should pay attention to signing a detailed agreement with the agency export company, clearly defining the terms of foreign exchange receipt and payment, fee settlement, etc. to protect its own rights and interests. For example, clearly define the calculation method of the agency fee, how long it will take to pay the entrusting party after the foreign exchange arrives in the account, etc. to avoid disputes in the later stage.
