In the agency fee for imported red wine, the initial payment for goods is crucial. It depends on the quantity negotiated with the supplier. If the agency level is high, the initial payment for goods will definitely be large, at least a small amount of about 100,000 yuan.

The transportation fee also needs to be considered. Sea transportation is relatively cheap, but it takes a long time. If you need the goods urgently and choose air transportation, the cost will be high. You need to clarify this part with the freight forwarder in advance.

Different brand awareness levels result in a big difference in agency fees. Well - known brands definitely have higher agency fees, but they may be easier to sell in the later stage. Small brands have lower agency fees, but the market promotion may be more difficult.

If you rent a warehouse by yourself for warehousing, the cost is not low, including rent, management fees, etc. If you entrust a professional warehousing company, it charges according to the quantity of goods. You also need to inquire about the price in advance.

Sometimes the supplier will have some policies, such as rebates, etc. But the early - stage agency fee still needs to be prepared as required. You can't just count on the later - stage rebates.
