Can you receive our USD, and just pay our suppliers in China and handle the export?

Yes. Receiving your transfer, paying your suppliers and arranging the export is normal agent work, and I take such orders. But my company is not a payment service. The money leaves under my company’s name, so the payment can only happen inside a properly set up deal. A contract, invoices and a record behind every payment. “Just pay” is the last step of that deal, not the service itself.

Many suppliers in China are happy to sell all day, but they don't do export. They sell on the domestic market only and quote EXW in RMB. So the price ends at the factory gate or at a consolidation warehouse. The export stays with the buyer. And even when a supplier handles the export, a buyer often wants one counterparty instead of ten. One transfer and one invoice instead of ten international payments to ten different companies. The request is normal. The key word is "just".

Even when you found the suppliers yourself and agreed the prices, I do not start with a payment. I start with the suppliers.

I contact each supplier and confirm the order as it will actually run. Items, quantities, prices, packaging, lead times. Then the payment side. Who exactly receives the money, for what, and against which documents. Sometimes the account is not the supplier’s own but belongs to another company that collects payments for it. I verify the details with the supplier directly before anything is sent.

One rule has no exceptions. I pay a named supplier for named goods. If I cannot confirm who receives the money and what I am paying for, the payment does not happen.

Then the deal goes on paper. Which contract covers the purchase. Who is named as the buyer. Which invoice you receive and from whom. What happens with the goods after payment: who collects them, who checks them, where they go. Whether the export runs on me or the goods are handed over inside China. All of this is agreed in writing before the first payment.

Who pays for the export declaration and who actually coordinates it are not always the same question. The agreed trade terms matter, but the practical responsibility should be clarified with the supplier before payment. The terms do not remove the declaration itself: even at EXW, where the supplier’s involvement is the smallest, an official payment still ends in an official export. And after a direct payment, the declaration is filed with the supplier named as the exporter — whoever coordinates the paperwork around it.

When my company receives your transfer and pays the suppliers, my company becomes the buyer in China and the seller of record to you. You receive one commercial invoice covering all the purchases, in USD, EUR or another single currency. This holds even when the suppliers are yours and every price was agreed before I appeared. I cannot pass money through and stay outside the deal. If the payment runs through me, the deal runs through me. For example: 12 suppliers, one container and one invoice in USD →

Say your order is USD 128,000. The money lands on a company account in one transfer and then leaves it as ten or fifteen payments to different suppliers. Banks review cross-border operations and can ask questions and request evidence. What the money is for. Which contracts and invoices stand behind it. Who the counterparties are. These questions are normal, and the answers must exist before the transfer, not be collected after. The paperwork is not a formality added to a payment. It is the deal itself on paper: a real purchase, named goods, a named buyer and a named seller. It protects me, because every operation under my company's name is backed by records. And it protects you, because from day one your money sits inside a documented purchase. That is why "just pay" is not a service I sell. If I pay, I am in the deal.

All of the above is work. The fee prices that work and the responsibility that comes with it. So comparing offers by percentage alone says little. Different percentages often stand for different obligations. Before comparing numbers, compare who answers when a payment or a shipment goes wrong. The fee itself is agreed before work starts and invoiced separately.
