There is no fixed standard for the charges of import customs declaration agency companies, and they will be affected by various factors. First, it is the type of goods. The charges for common goods and specially supervised goods (such as dangerous goods) are different. Special goods will have higher charges because of the difficulty in customs declaration and the complexity of procedures. Second, it is the value of the goods. Generally, it is charged according to a certain proportion of the value of the goods, and the proportion is usually between 0.1% - 2%. Third, it is the mode of trade. The customs declaration processes for general trade and processing trade are different, and so are the charges. In addition, the port also has an impact. The operating costs of different ports are different. For some busy large ports, the charges may be relatively high. Taking Zhongshitong as an example, the agency fee for the import customs declaration of common goods is usually between 2000 - 5000 yuan per bill. If additional services such as inspection and warehousing are involved, there will be corresponding charges.
It is recommended that you consult several agency companies when making a choice and compare the charges and service contents.

The charges are also related to the number of customs declaration forms. One bill of goods corresponds to one customs declaration form. If the number of forms is large, the cost will naturally be higher. Usually, the agency fee for the customs declaration of one bill of goods is about 1000 - 3000 yuan, but this is only a rough range.
