The costs of imported liquor agency consist of multiple parts. First is the cost of goods, which depends on the brand, type, grade and purchase quantity of the liquor being represented, with a large difference. Second is the customs duty. Generally, the customs duty for wine is 14%, the value-added tax is 13%, and the consumption tax is 10%. The tax rates vary for different types of liquor. In terms of transportation fees, sea freight is relatively cheap and is charged by volume or weight, while air freight is more expensive. There are also customs clearance fees, including declaration fees, inspection fees, etc., generally ranging from a few hundred to several thousand yuan, depending on the complexity of the goods. In addition, if warehousing fees are involved, it is also an expense, calculated according to time and storage volume. For agency fees, different agency companies like Zhongshitong charge differently, usually a certain percentage of the cargo value, perhaps around 3% - 8%. These costs are not calculated solely per bottle, but are considered based on multiple factors.
To know the costs accurately, it is necessary to calculate after clarifying the specific liquor products to be represented and business details.
