Immediately after reduction.
Explanation: In the Calvin cycle CO2 is fixed to 3-PGA, which is then reduced to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P). Some G3P molecules are exported from the cycle (to make carbohydrates) immediately after the reduction step; the remainder are recycled in the regeneration phase to rebuild RuBP.
