Introduction
Many overseas buyers, when dealing directly with Chinese factories, often face the following issues: non-compliant contracts, payment risks, goods not matching the order, and difficulties in after-sales disputes.
These problems may seem occasional, but from the perspective of a CPA, they are essentially financial and tax risks that can and should be controlled.
Tax & Compliance Risks in Direct Procurement
- Non-compliant contracts & invoices → Overseas clients may not be able to book the cost or deduct tax.
- Cross-border payments without compliance → Funds may face delays, reviews, or even being frozen.
- Dispute handling difficulties → When products do not match the order, buyers face high costs in negotiation, due to language and legal barriers.
