Question 2

How can we provide our US dollar remittance route and collection information to foreign buyers?

When providing US dollar collection information to foreign investors, it is necessary to ensure that the information is accurate. You need to send a clear commercial invoice (PI) or proforma invoice to the buyer, with the name of the beneficiary (which must be the same as the account owner), the beneficiary account number, the name of the receiving bank, the bank SWIFT code and the bank address in a prominent position on the document. If there is transit information, it should also be provided. It is recommended to generate a formal PDF statement and send it to the customer, and verbally check the account details with the customer by video or phone before making the first payment to prevent hacker interception and tampering.

Question 3

Machinery and equipment exports to do DDP trade terms, how to solve the buyer to pay the dollar compliance settlement problem?

Accepted Answer

Question 4

What are the core differences between cross-border e-commerce retail collection methods and traditional foreign trade B2B collection models?

Accepted Answer

Cross-border e-commerce retail collection is mainly for Amazon and other platform sellers, orders show "small, massive, high-frequency" characteristics, the platform directly docking e-commerce underlying API to obtain data to verify the authenticity. The foreign trade B2B collection model is aimed at large transactions between enterprises, a single amount of large, must rely on the review of specific commercial invoices, bills of lading and logistics vouchers to determine the trade background. Therefore, B2B collection tools are more stringent in anti-money laundering audits to prevent the risk of money laundering of large unidentified funds.

Question 5

The offshore accounts of foreign trade companies are suddenly frozen by banks, which red lines are usually violated?

Accepted Answer

Offshore accounts are usually frozen because they trigger a bank's compliance anti-money laundering red line. The most common reason is the receipt of funds from high-risk sanctioned countries or regions. Secondly, the frequent occurrence of large amounts of funds fast in and out of the account, and the inability to provide the corresponding real trade documents (such as customs declarations, bills of lading), will be judged as suspected underground bank transactions. In addition, if the account is lent to others for collection, resulting in the receipt of funds suspected of online fraud, it will immediately trigger a judicial freeze. Keeping the source of funds clear is fundamental to the survival of the account.
