The Secret of Consignment Export Proceeds Settlement!

On the grand stage of international trade, the consignment export business plays an important role. For many enterprises and individuals involved in it, the proceeds settlement method is a crucial part, as it is directly related to the speed of capital recovery and the smooth development of the business. Today, let's have a good talk about the proceeds settlement method for consignment export to give you a clearer understanding of it.

1. Settling Accounts and Proceeds Settlement after Foreign Exchange Arrival

This is a relatively common method. When foreign customers pay foreign exchange funds to the foreign exchange account of the consignment export enterprise, the agent will carry out the settlement operation at an appropriate time according to the agreed exchange rate. After the settlement is completed, the corresponding RMB amount will be paid to the principal. For example, Mr. Zhang's company entrusted Zhongshitong to carry out the consignment export business. Foreign customers paid a sum of US dollar payment to Zhongshitong's foreign exchange account. Zhongshitong carried out the settlement when the exchange rate was more appropriate and then transferred the converted RMB to Mr. Zhang's company.

2. Advancing Part of the Payment in Advance and Settling the Final Payment

In some cases, the consignment export enterprise, in order to help the principal relieve the capital pressure, will advance part of the payment in advance. Usually, after the goods are exported, a certain proportion of funds will be paid to the principal according to the estimated amount of the goods payment. After all the foreign exchange arrives and is settled, the advanced payment will be deducted and the remaining final payment will be paid. Ms. Li once encountered such a situation. Her enterprise had a tight capital turnover. After her goods were successfully exported, Zhongshitong advanced part of the funds, allowing her enterprise to continue to carry out other businesses, and then completed the settlement of the final payment, which was very thoughtful.

1. Consider the Capital Turnover Needs

If the principal's own capital is relatively tight, it is more appropriate to choose a consignment export enterprise that can advance part of the payment in advance, so as to ensure the continuous operation of the business and not be stagnated due to capital shortage. On the contrary, if the capital is relatively abundant, it may pay more attention to factors such as the exchange rate for settlement and the timeliness of proceeds settlement.

2. Pay Attention to Exchange Rate Fluctuations

For the method of settling accounts and proceeds settlement after foreign exchange arrives, the exchange rate fluctuations will have a great impact on the final proceeds amount. The principal should negotiate with the agent on the timing of settlement and try to carry out the settlement at a more favorable exchange rate to obtain more RMB proceeds. For example, the RMB-USD exchange rate has fluctuated frequently recently, so it is necessary to pay close attention and arrange the settlement reasonably.

3. Understand the Reputation and Strength of the Agent

No matter which proceeds settlement method is chosen, the reputation and strength of the agent are of great importance. A reliable agent will operate strictly according to the agreed proceeds settlement method and time to avoid bad situations such as arrears of payments. And a strong agent can better deal with some complex international settlement issues and ensure the smooth proceeds settlement.

1. Sign a Detailed Consignment Export Contract

In conclusion, there are various consignment export proceeds settlement methods, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.
