Do cross-border export sellers, the word “buy single export” should not be unfamiliar - there is no import and export rights, or do not want to use their own main body of customs clearance, on the name of the borrowed freight forwarder or foreign trade company shipments. This operation has been popular for many years.

But according to the caliber of industry levies that have been circulating recently, theFrom October 2025, the road will narrow significantly: The agent exporter who is unable to trace back to the real owner of the goods will directly pressTaxable income rate for 4%Authorized taxation of the agent.

This means that freight forwarders and export agents will start to reverse the requirement for you to provide complete information - those who can cooperate will continue to cooperate, and those who can't may not take your shipments.

⚠️ Description: The above caliber is currently a temporary window guidance circulated in the industry and has not yet been announced in the form of an official red-tape document. The pace of implementation may vary from place to place, so it is recommended to consult the local tax authorities in advance for confirmation.

I. How does buying and exporting actually work?

Simply put: you produce or purchase goods, but you don't have import and export business qualification, or you don't want to use your own company name to declare customs. So you find a qualified freight forwarder/foreign trade company.I'm going to help you get out in their name.You pay a fee, and they take care of customs clearance, tax refunds, and other formalities.

This approach has long existed in the cross-border industry for very practical reasons:

• Seller subjects with low registration thresholds do not have import and export rights
• Some sellers don't want to reveal their true business entity
• Simple operation, save yourself the trouble of handling all kinds of qualifications

II. Where is the risk after the new caliber?

According to the caliber of the levy circulating, the core change is:

If the agent exporter is unable to explain to the tax authorities “who produces, who exports, who collects foreign exchange”, it will be directly taxed at the rate of 4% taxable income, and shall not be entitled to any tax incentives.

The ripple effect of this rule:

More immediate risks: Once an audit is triggered, it is not only a tax issue, but also involves the legal risk of fraudulent export tax refunds.
