The proportion is usually around 0.5% - 3%, and it may vary depending on the type of goods, the complexity of the business, etc. For example, the agency fee rate for common daily necessities may be around 1%, while the rate for some high-tech products or specially supervised goods may be relatively high.
Secondly, there are customs declaration fees. The customs declaration for each bill of goods generally costs between 200 - 500 yuan, mainly related to the number of customs declaration forms and the difficulty level of customs declaration.
