There is no fixed standard for the price of supervision and unloading agency services for imported goods, and it is indeed influenced by multiple factors. First is the type of goods. For example, daily necessities and precision instruments have different levels of difficulty in supervision and unloading, leading to significant price differences. The price for daily necessities is relatively low, possibly ranging from 1,000 to 3,000 RMB per shipment. For precision instruments, due to the need for more professional handling and protection, the price may range from 3,000 to 8,000 RMB per shipment.
The quantity of goods also matters. For larger quantities, the price may be discounted proportionally. Additionally, the port location affects the cost. Busy or geographically remote ports may have higher supervision and unloading costs, leading to higher prices. For example, in large coastal ports, the fees may be moderate, while in inland ports with poor transportation, the fees could be higher. Furthermore, the specific details of the supervision and unloading service, such as whether additional quality inspections are required, will also affect the price. In short, the specific price should be discussed with agency companies like Zhongshitong based on the actual goods.

Generally, the price of supervision and unloading agency services for imported goods is related to the value of the goods. For high-value goods, the agency will be more cautious, and the price will naturally be higher. For example, high-value electronic products may incur a supervision and unloading fee of 1% to 3% of the goods' value.

I think the busyness of the port operations also affects the price. If the port is often congested, the supervision and unloading time may be extended, increasing the agency's costs and thus the price.

I’ve heard that the size and service quality of the agency company also influence the price. Larger companies offer more standardized services and have more resources, but their prices may be higher than smaller companies.

If the goods have special storage or handling requirements, such as refrigerated goods, the supervision and unloading agency price will definitely be higher, as specialized equipment and personnel are needed.

The packaging of imported goods can also affect the supervision and unloading price. If the packaging is complex or difficult to handle, the agency may charge more due to the additional effort required.

Market competition can also influence the price. In areas with many agency companies, prices may be lower to attract customers, while in areas with less competition, prices may be higher.

Sometimes, seasonal factors also play a role. For example, during peak seasons when ports are busy, supervision and unloading agencies may raise prices due to higher labor costs.

The origin of the goods may also affect the supervision and unloading price. If the origin is far away, the transportation and coordination of supervision and unloading may be more complex, potentially increasing the price.
