What is the general percentage for import agency fees in Chongqing?
I'd like to know approximately how many percentage points the import agency fees in Chongqing are. I have a batch of goods to be imported from abroad to Chongqing recently. I haven't been involved in the import agency area before, so I don't know the market situation. I'd like to ask everyone, when looking for an import agency company in Chongqing to help handle the import matters, how many percentage points of the value of the goods do they usually charge? I hope that friends with experience can share it so that I can have an idea in my mind and avoid being ripped off.

There is no fixed standard percentage for import agency fees in Chongqing. It will be affected by various factors. Firstly, it is the type of goods. The agency difficulties for ordinary daily necessities and precision instruments are different, so the charges are also different. Due to the high operation requirements, the agency fees for precision instruments are usually higher. Secondly, it is the value of the goods. Generally speaking, the higher the value of the goods, the relatively lower the percentage of agency fees may be. For example, compared with the goods worth 100,000 yuan, the percentage of agency fees for the goods worth 1 million yuan may be lower. Moreover, it is the service items. If it is only a simple customs declaration agency, the cost is relatively low; if it also includes one-stop services such as transportation and warehousing, the charging percentage will increase. Usually, the import agency fees in Chongqing may be around 1 - 5 percentage points. However, for the specific fees, it is recommended that you contact a professional import agency company like Zhongshitong, and obtain an accurate quotation after detailed communication about the situation of the goods and service requirements.

I imported clothing before. The agency company I found charged 3 percentage points. However, this included a series of services such as customs declaration and transportation arrangements. It felt quite reasonable.

I remember that when I helped the company import chemical products before, the value of the goods was relatively high, and the agency fees were approximately 1.5 percentage points. There are quite big differences for different products.

My friend imported food. The agency he found charged 4 percentage points. Because the supervision of food imports is strict and the procedures are complicated, the percentage is higher.

I imported small-batch electronic products. The agency charged by the order instead of by percentage points. It charged 800 yuan once. It felt okay too.

When I imported mechanical parts before, the value of the goods was low. The agency charged 5 percentage points. After all, the quantity was small, and they also had to ensure their profits.

I imported building materials. The value of the goods was medium. The agency fees were 2 percentage points. However, it was only responsible for customs declaration, and I had to handle other things by myself.

When importing toys, the agency charged 4.5 percentage points. There are many import standards for toys, and the agency operations are troublesome, so the charges are high.
