International wire transfer to buy cars

We have used car dealership in US. We get international wires to buy cars & ship cars oversea. We collect $300 as commission fee. So we get incoming wire for $10,300, then we buy car $10k and ship that car.

 

any special rules for international wires or is it simple recorded as Sales revenue of $10.3k , cost of goods sold of $10k = $300 profit

 

in this foreign income etc stuff?

All money for products received from any source by any method goes into Sales Revenue.

No. It isn't foreign-sourced income if earned in the US. Your clients may be from outside the US but your business isn't.
