2. If you purchase goods from domestic factories, you can sign a contract with the factory in the name of a Hong Kong company. When you deliver the goods, ask a foreign trade agent to issue documents and export them to your Hong Kong company at a price slightly higher than the cost. After the goods are cleared through customs, your Hong Kong company has the ownership of the goods. You endorse them separately, change the bill of lading and sell them to foreign customers in the name of the Hong Kong company.
3. Foreign customers remit money to your Hong Kong company account (this account can be opened in China, that is, the so-called offshore account), and the Hong Kong company will hand over the related costs and other expenses to the foreign trade agency, which will cancel the tax refund and then send the costs to the factory. The profits will be kept in the company account in Hong Kong without tax. You negotiate with the foreign trade company to write off the tax refund, and the profits left in offshore account will not be settled. You can control them at will, and you don't have to pay any taxes.
When you need this money, you can directly transfer it to your domestic company account or your personal foreign currency account and then withdraw it.
Hong Kong companies are middlemen and do entrepot trade. For foreign customers, your (offshore) company is an exporter. For factories, you are a salesman of foreign trade companies, and foreign trade companies can't reach your foreign customers. Offshore companies give you a company name to talk about customers. Hong Kong companies are well-known, so you don't have to worry about the agency dragging your money. The operation is very flexible.
Speaking of this question, here's the thing. CO form. A and so on are generally produced by foreign trade companies. The situation now is that you pay the bill. You can get a proforma invoice from the company that pays the bill, or you can get a proforma invoice from other foreign trade companies. As for the commercial invoice of bill of lading, both the person in charge of PI and the person in charge of foreign trade company of offshore company can make pro forma invoice. But for the sake of consistency, generally speaking, if you need to prepare for the exam, the bill of lading should be issued by a foreign trade company. One of the risks of paying the bill is customs inspection.
2. Agent, I personally understand that it would be nice if someone expressed their views on this issue and let others learn more knowledge.
The form of agency is that foreigners pay foreign exchange to offshore account, offshore account pays foreign exchange for foreign trade, and the profits are left to offshore account.
The agent is to help you issue documents when you export, and then write off the tax refund after payment.
China stipulates that exports must be written off, so you can't have the above situation unless you smuggle.
In that case, I think the safe way is to find an agent.
