2026 Comprehensive Guide to Filling Out the Export Goods Foreign Exchange Collection Form for Export Tax Refunds

Export Tax Refund Export Goods Foreign Exchange Collection Form: 2026 Comprehensive Guide to Compliant Filling

In 2026,the State Taxation Administration optimized the export tax refund review process,incorporating document matching of the Export Goods Foreign Exchange Collection Form into first-level review indicators.Enterprises failing to fill out as required will trigger risk control inspections,with refund delays lasting up to 30 working days.Many foreign trade enterprises have faced rejection or delayed refunds due to ignoring policy adjustment details and confusing filling rules,directly impacting capital turnover efficiency.

I.Core Policy Adjustments in 2026

The tax announcement implemented from January 2026 clarifies three core filling requirements: First,the deviation between the collection amount and the customs declaration amount must not exceed 5%; exceeding this range requires reasonable explanations such as exchange rate fluctuations or transportation fee adjustments.Second,cross-border e-commerce B2B exports must mark the 9710/9810 supervision modes in the form and link them to corresponding platform transaction data.Third,for goods exported to RCEP member countries,the Certificate of Origin number must be filled in simultaneously to match the capital flow requirements for tariff reduction preferences.

Details easily confused by some enterprises include: Under FOB trade terms,the collection bank slip corresponding to the Bill of Lading date shall prevail; under CIF terms,foreign freight and insurance premiums must be deducted before filling in the collection amount.Failure to make this deduction will directly lead to document inconsistency.

II.Common Filling Errors and Compliance Red Lines

• The collection entity is inconsistent with the customs declaration operating unit,and the third-party agency collection agreement is not uploaded,judged as an abnormal capital flow.
• Mixing advance payments and balance payments in filling,failing to distinguish collection time nodes and corresponding customs declaration batches,triggering system risk control.
• Omitting special trade scenario labels: such as barter trade and processing with supplied materials re-export not marking corresponding supervision modes.
• Failure to synchronously update electronic signature requirements,using old signatures causing the form to be automatically rejected by the system.

In 2026,anti-dumping duty adjustments against Chinese electromechanical products by Europe and the US are frequent.When filling out the collection form,enterprises must additionally mark the apportioned amount of anti-dumping duties.Failure to reflect this amount will cause the collection amount to mismatch the customs declaration amount,leading to direct rejection by tax authorities.

III.Actionable Practical Filling Steps

• Step 1: Log in to the tax system to download the latest 2026 version of the collection form template and verify that the header fields match the announcement requirements.
• Step 2: Export electronic customs declaration data and verify one by one the collection bank slip amount,collection entity,and collection time against the corresponding items in the customs declaration.
• Step 3: Supplement special scenario proof materials: For third-party collection,upload the agency agreement; for exports to RCEP member countries,upload the Certificate of Origin number.
• Step 4: Internal review: The financial supervisor shall verify document consistency,focusing on exchange rate deviation explanations and anti-dumping duty labels,which are prone to omission.

A Shanghai electromechanical export enterprise declared a tax refund of 1.2 million USD in March 2026.It was subject to risk control inspection because it failed to mark the apportioned EU anti-dumping duty amount,delaying the refund by 28 days.After the Zhongshitong agency team intervened,we assisted the enterprise in supplementing the explanation for the apportioned anti-dumping duty and linking it to the corresponding customs declaration clauses.The review was completed and approved within 3 working days,helping the enterprise recover funds ahead of schedule.
