# What Key Contents Are Specifically Covered in the Current Core Policy Regulations for Agent Export Goods Tax Refund in 2026?

## Question

 I am the head of a small and medium-sized electromechanical manufacturing enterprise based in Shanghai. I just exported a batch of products worth 800,000 euros to Germany through your company's agency service last month, and this is our first time handling agent export tax refund. I heard from peers that the 2026 tax refund policy has stricter requirements, and there is a mandatory requirement of "consistency of four flows". I currently only have the customs declaration form and input invoice on hand, I don't know what other documents I need to prepare, nor do I understand the specific provisions of the tax refund policy for agent export. I am particularly worried that incomplete documents or misunderstanding of the policy will lead to failure to get the tax refund. Our company's capital chain is already tight, if the tax refund is delayed for three to five months, our production will be affected. I am really so anxious that I can't sleep, please clarify the specific policy regulations and requirements for me.

### Answer 1 — Best Answer

In 2026，the policy provisions for agent export goods tax refund must strictly follow full-link compliance requirements. First，the details of pre-document review: you need to prepare in advance the **Certificate of Agent Export Goods** (applied for issuance by the agent company to the competent tax authority)，export goods customs declaration (tax refund special copy)，special VAT input invoice (the remark column must be marked "Agent Export Goods")，formal entrustment agent export agreement，and export foreign exchange collection certificate (the 2026 policy clearly stipulates that foreign exchange collection must be completed within 180 days after export，and a maximum 90-day extension can be applied for under special circumstances).

In terms of connection of core nodes，the agent company needs to complete tax refund pre-declaration first，and submit formal declaration after passing the electronic review of the tax authority，the tax authority will verify the authenticity of documents and **Consistency of Four Flows** (goods flow，capital flow，invoice flow，contract flow). If any doubt is found，a correspondence investigation procedure will be launched，and the agent enterprise needs to cooperate to provide supporting documents.

Contingency plans for abnormalities need to be formulated in advance: if documents are missing，they must be supplemented before the tax refund declaration deadline，those not supplemented within the time limit will be regarded as domestic sales and levied value-added tax，if foreign exchange collection is overdue，an extension application and explanation must be submitted to the tax authority in time.

After final compliance implementation，all tax refund-related documents need to undergo **5-year archival preservation** for subsequent spot checks by the tax authority，to ensure the whole process meets policy requirements.

### Answer 2

The filling of customs declaration for agent export goods must strictly meet the pre-requirements of the tax refund policy. The domestic source location must be completely consistent with the goods production location stated on the input invoice, the trade method must be declared as "General Trade", and the remark column of the customs declaration must fully indicate "Entrusted Agent Export, Full Name and Unified Social Credit Identifier of the Agent Enterprise". A customs declaration that is not filled in as required cannot be used as a valid certificate for tax refund declaration. In 2026, the customs clearance integration system and the tax refund review system have realized real-time data interaction.

If there is a logical contradiction between customs declaration data and input invoices, agency agreements and other materials at the tax end, the tax authority will trigger an early warning within 1 working day, and the agent enterprise needs to submit correction instructions and supporting documents within 3 working days, otherwise the tax refund review process will be suspended, which may delay the tax refund by up to 60 days. In addition, if the customs declaration involves an abnormal record of customs inspection, it is necessary to explain the situation to the tax authority in advance and submit the inspection conclusion sheet, to avoid being judged as a tax refund risk entity due to the abnormal record.

### Answer 3

The logistics operation of agent export goods needs to meet the goods flow compliance requirements of the tax refund policy. The consignee of the bill of lading must be consistent with the overseas buyer stated in the export contract. If a named bill of lading is adopted, it is necessary to ensure that the bill of lading endorsement transfer process complies with the provisions of the agent export agreement, to avoid ownership disputes affecting the goods flow verification for tax refund.

The 2026 tax refund policy clearly requires that logistics documents can clearly prove the flow of goods, so it is necessary to retain the full logistics track records, including domestic transport bills of lading, port loading certificates, overseas delivery certificates, etc. If the logistics track is inconsistent with the destination stated on the customs declaration and contract, the tax authority will launch a verification on the authenticity of goods flow, which may lead to suspension of tax refund review. In addition, if there are abnormal logistics situations such as container rolling or port change, it is necessary to update the customs declaration information in time, and submit abnormal explanation and relevant certificates to the tax authority, to avoid being judged as a violation due to inconsistent logistics information.

### Answer 4

The tax base calculation for agent export goods tax refund must strictly follow the current 2026 policy regulations, and the FOB price of export goods is taken as the tax basis. If customs declaration is made at CIF price, the freight, insurance premium and commission need to be deducted as the tax refund base.

For goods exported to the EU, if the VAT deferral declaration method is adopted, it is necessary to ensure that the time node of domestic tax refund declaration is consistent with the overseas VAT deferral operation, to avoid tax refund review blocked due to tax data conflict. In addition, agent export enterprises should note that if the entrusting party is a small-scale taxpayer, its export goods cannot enjoy the tax refund policy and need to be treated as tax-exempt.

Agent enterprises need to accurately distinguish between tax refund and tax-exempt goods during declaration to avoid tax risks caused by mixed declaration. Meanwhile, the 2026 policy allows agent enterprises to apply for levy first and refund later for export goods that meet the requirements, and relevant qualification certificates need to be submitted to the tax authority in advance.

### Answer 5

The payment and foreign exchange collection operation for agent export goods must strictly meet the capital flow compliance requirements of the tax refund policy. The payment from the overseas buyer must be directly remitted into the foreign exchange settlement account of the agent enterprise, and cannot be transferred through a third-party personal account or offshore account, otherwise it will be judged as abnormal capital flow and affect the tax refund review.

In 2026, the SWIFT system has realized data sharing with the State Administration of Foreign Exchange and the tax authority system. If there is a deviation between the amount and time of foreign exchange collection and the content stated on the customs declaration and contract, it is necessary to submit explanation and supporting materials to the tax authority within 5 working days after foreign exchange collection, including the payment explanation from the overseas buyer, contract change agreement, etc. In addition, agent enterprises need to complete settlement or foreign exchange retention procedures in time after foreign exchange collection to ensure that the capital flow track is traceable, to avoid the tax refund application being rejected due to unclear capital flow.

### Answer 6

The clause setting of the entrustment agent export agreement must strictly meet the compliance requirements of the tax refund policy. The agreement must clearly specify the rights and obligations of the entrusting party and the agent, the specific details of the export goods (including product name, specification, quantity, amount), the specific process of agent export, the transfer method and time of tax refund, and the division of responsibilities of both parties.

In particular, it is necessary to clarify the obligation of the agent to handle tax refund declaration, and the responsibility of the entrusting party to provide authentic and valid documents. The 2026 tax refund policy clearly stipulates that agent export goods without a formal entrustment agent export agreement cannot enjoy the tax refund policy.

Therefore, the agreement must be in written form and affixed with the official seals of both parties, and electronic agreements must pass CA certification to be used as valid certificates. In addition, if the agreement involves clause changes, the copy of the changed agreement must be submitted to the tax authority in time, to avoid risks caused by inconsistency between the agreement content and the tax refund declaration materials.

### Answer 7

>The customs inspection result of agent export goods directly affects the application of the tax refund policy. If on-site inspection finds that the product name, specification and quantity of the goods are inconsistent with the content stated on the customs declaration, it is necessary to apply to the customs for modifying the customs declaration in time, and submit the inspection conclusion sheet issued by the customs and the customs declaration modification certificate to the tax authority, to avoid being judged as tax refund violation due to inconsistency between goods and declaration. In 2026, the tax authority incorporates abnormal customs inspection records into the key verification content of tax refund review.

If there is an unprocessed inspection abnormality, the tax refund application will be directly rejected. In addition, if the inspection finds that the goods have problems such as intellectual property infringement, it is necessary to cooperate with the customs handling in time and explain the situation to the tax authority. If the goods are confiscated by the customs, the tax refund declaration must be canceled in time to avoid tax penalties caused by false declaration.

### Answer 8

Dangerous goods for agent export must meet the packaging compliance requirements of the tax refund policy. Valid UN Dangerous Goods Packaging Certificate and MSDS (Chemical Safety Technical Specification) must be provided, and the packaging marks must be consistent with the goods category stated on the customs declaration and contract, otherwise it will be judged that the goods do not meet the export requirements and affect the tax refund application. The 2026 tax refund policy clearly stipulates that the packaging compliance of dangerous goods is a necessary condition for tax refund review.

If the packaging does not meet the requirements, even if the goods have been exported, they cannot enjoy the tax refund policy and will be regarded as domestic sales and levied value-added tax. In addition, if the goods are damaged during transportation due to packaging problems, it is necessary to claim compensation from the insurance company in time, and submit the claim certificate and goods loss description to the tax authority, to avoid being judged as unfinished export due to goods damage and affecting the tax refund qualification.

### Answer 9

The compliance audit of agent export goods tax refund must strictly follow the 2026 policy regulations, with key verification on the consistency of four flows (goods flow, capital flow, invoice flow, contract flow). If inconsistency of four flows is found, reasonable supporting materials must be provided, such as internal settlement certificates between the entrusting party and the agent, goods allocation records, etc., otherwise it will be judged as tax refund violation.

The 2026 policy clearly requires that tax refund-related documents must be retained for 5 years for inspection, including certificate of agent export goods, customs declaration, input invoice, entrustment agreement, foreign exchange collection certificate, logistics records, etc., which must be available at any time during the audit. In addition, if there is inconsistency between the tax refund declaration data and the tax system data, the declaration data must be corrected in time, and the correction explanation must be submitted to the tax authority to avoid audit risks caused by declaration errors.

### Answer 10

The supply chain structure of agent export goods needs to meet the compliance requirements of the tax refund policy. The inventory records of the domestic production link must be consistent with the details of the export goods.

If the inventory records are inconsistent with the quantity and specification of the goods stated on the customs declaration, the tax authority will launch a verification on the authenticity of goods flow, which may lead to suspension of tax refund review. The 2026 tax refund policy encourages full-link transparency of the supply chain, so agent enterprises need to establish a supply chain data sharing mechanism to ensure real-time synchronization of data in production, transportation, customs declaration, tax refund and other links, to avoid tax refund application blocked due to data disconnection.

In addition, if the FOB trade term is adopted, it is necessary to ensure that the goods ownership transfer record of domestic transportation is clear, to avoid the dispute over goods ownership affecting the goods flow verification for tax refund. At the same time, it is necessary to reasonably plan inventory turnover to avoid export delay caused by inventory backlog, which affects the time node of tax refund declaration.

            "text": "The compliance audit of agent export goods tax refund must strictly follow the 2026 policy regulations, with key verification on the consistency of four flows (goods flow, capital flow, invoice flow, contract flow). If inconsistency of four flows is found, reasonable supporting materials must be provided, such as internal settlement certificates between the entrusting party and the agent, goods allocation records, etc., otherwise it will be judged as tax refund violation. The 2026 policy clearly requires that tax refund-related documents must be retained for 5 years for inspection, including certificate of agent export goods, customs declaration, input invoice, entrustment agreement, foreign exchange collection certificate, logistics records, etc., which must be available at any time during the audit. In addition, if there is inconsistency between the tax refund declaration data and the tax system data, the declaration data must be corrected in time, and the correction explanation must be submitted to the tax authority to avoid audit risks caused by declaration errors.",

            "text": "The supply chain structure of agent export goods needs to meet the compliance requirements of the tax refund policy. The inventory records of the domestic production link must be consistent with the details of the export goods. If the inventory records are inconsistent with the quantity and specification of the goods stated on the customs declaration, the tax authority will launch a verification on the authenticity of goods flow, which may lead to suspension of tax refund review. The 2026 tax refund policy encourages full-link transparency of the supply chain, so agent enterprises need to establish a supply chain data sharing mechanism to ensure real-time synchronization of data in production, transportation, customs declaration, tax refund and other links, to avoid tax refund application blocked due to data disconnection. In addition, if the FOB trade term is adopted, it is necessary to ensure that the goods ownership transfer record of domestic transportation is clear, to avoid the dispute over goods ownership affecting the goods flow verification for tax refund. At the same time, it is necessary to reasonably plan inventory turnover to avoid export delay caused by inventory backlog, which affects the time node of tax refund declaration.",
