I am the head of a cross-border home furnishing enterprise with an annual export volume of nearly 12 million US dollars. In 2026, we agreed with our long-term cooperative customer in the United States to pay a sales commission of 2.8% of the sales volume every quarter.
Previously, we handled export customs declaration, foreign exchange settlement, and tax rebates by ourselves, but this time it involves commission rebates, and we are not clear about the compliance operation details. We heard that there are special commission rebate export agency enterprises, and we want to know what such enterprises are, whether they can help us solve the problems of commission payment, compliance declaration, and subsequent tax rebates, and whether there will be additional tax risks.
