China Abolishes the 'Buyer-Paid Export' Model as Piercing-Through Oversight Takes Effect Oct 1, 2025
A sweeping regulatory shift will redefine China's foreign trade landscape starting October 1, 2025. The State Taxation Administration's Announcement 2025 No. 17 introduces piercing-through supervision for agents exporting on behalf of others. Agencies must disclose the actual entrustor's information and export amounts in prepayment declarations, targeting full transparency across the supply chain. If a company fails to report accurately or relies on self-operated exports, it will bear the corresponding income tax as if it were directly exporting, with penalties and additional charges. Violations carry escalating consequences: tax liability up to 25% of the export value, daily late fees at 0.05% (annualized around 18.25%), and fines up to five times for deliberate evasion, plus long-term restrictions on credit, export tax refunds, and customs standing. The rule is designed to apply to a broad spectrum of players—steel, market procurement trade, cross-border e-commerce, foreign trade service providers, and logistics firms—ensuring a level playing field. To adapt, firms may pursue legitimate export rights, partner with compliant agents, or restructure operations (e.g., establish compliant overseas entities). In the long run, compliance becomes a competitive differentiator and a prerequisite for sustainable growth in China’s export economy.

Understanding the Differences Between Traditional Foreign Trade and Cross-Border E-Commerce: Which Path Should You Choose?
