Generally, there are several common situations for the calculation method of warehousing fees for agency imports.
First of all, calculation by area is a relatively common one. It will be based on the size of the warehouse area you rent, multiplied by the unit price per square meter per day or per month to get the cost. For example, if it is 10 yuan per square meter per day and you rent 50 square meters, then it is 500 yuan a day.
Secondly, calculation by the weight or volume of the goods also exists. For example, how much is the cost per ton per month, or how much is the cost per cubic meter, etc.
There is also calculation by the number of pallets. If the goods are stored on pallets, the charge is based on the number of pallets.
In addition, some warehouses may also charge some additional fees, such as handling fees for inbound and outbound, warehousing management fees, etc. The specific calculation method is generally formulated by the warehouse side according to its own costs, market conditions, etc. Therefore, when choosing the warehousing service for agency imports, it is necessary to communicate in detail with the other party about each charging standard.

Generally speaking, it is quite common to calculate by area and time, just like the per-square-meter-per-day method mentioned above. However, the price differences among different warehouses may be quite large, so it is necessary to compare several.

Some warehouses will also charge according to the difficulty of storing the goods. If the goods require special storage conditions, the fees may be higher.

Calculation by the number of pallets is also simple and straightforward. You just count how many pallets there are and then multiply by the charging standard for a single pallet.

In addition to the basic warehousing fees, don't forget to ask about the handling fees. This is also a considerable expense. Some are charged by the ton, and some are charged by the vehicle.
