The costs of import and export agents in Nanjing are not fixed and will be affected by multiple factors. Firstly, it's the type of goods. The agency fees for ordinary goods and special goods (such as dangerous goods) are different. Since the operation of special goods is more complicated, the cost will be higher. Secondly, it's the value of the goods. Generally, it is charged according to a certain percentage of the value of the goods, and the percentage is usually around 1% - 5%. For example, if the value of the goods is 1 million yuan and calculated at 3%, the agency fee is 30,000 yuan. Moreover, it's the volume of business. For long-term and large-volume business, the agency company may offer certain discounts. In addition, service items also have an impact. The fees for only customs declaration services and one-stop services including transportation, warehousing, etc. vary greatly. For example, Zhongshitong will give a reasonable quotation by taking these factors into account. The specific accurate price still needs to be determined by communicating with the agency company and informing them of the detailed business situation.

Generally, for the import and export agents of small items, a few hundred yuan may be enough. If it's large equipment or something like that, it's estimated to cost tens of thousands of yuan. It depends on the actual situation.

I heard that it's charged by order. For a simple order, it may be 1,000 - 3,000 yuan, and for a complex one, it may be higher. You can ask several companies for comparison.

Besides the value of the goods, the mode of transportation may also affect the price. There are differences in the agency fees for sea transportation and air transportation.

I think when negotiating with the agency company, you also need to pay attention to whether there are any hidden charges. Don't just look at the surface price.

If there is business for a long term, it's best to sign a long-term cooperation contract. Maybe the cost can be discounted a bit.
