If you use your own shipping agent, most buying agents will not provide export documentation because they are not the ones exporting.
If you have a good relationship with your shipping agent, you can transfer the money to them and let him help you pay the buying agent.
Or you can try to ask more buying agents, some small ones may be willing to do so.
