How much is the agency fee for new car exports? Come and find out!
Solved#Export agent#
I recently plan to start the new car export business. I haven't been exposed to this area before and want to know approximately how much the agency fee for new car exports is. Is it charged according to the number of cars or the proportion of the export amount? Is there a fixed charging standard, or will it vary according to different situations? I hope experienced friends can tell me about it so that I can have an idea in mind.

There is no fixed standard for the agency fee for new car exports. There are usually two common charging methods.
One is to charge according to the proportion of the export amount. The general proportion is around 1% - 5%. If the value of the exported vehicles is high and the quantity is large, this method is relatively reasonable and can reflect the relationship between the agency fee and the business scale. For example, if a batch of new cars with a total value of 1 million US dollars is exported and the agency fee is charged at 3%, it will be 30,000 US dollars.
The second is to charge per vehicle. The agency fee for each vehicle is approximately between 2000 - 5000 yuan. This is suitable for the situation where the number of exports is small but the vehicle value varies greatly.
In addition, the agency fee is also affected by the service content, such as whether it includes customs declaration, logistics arrangement, etc. If it includes multiple value-added services, the fee will be relatively higher.

Generally speaking, if you find an agency company like Zhongshitong and it charges according to the proportion of the export amount, if the vehicle itself has a low value, the proportion may be close to 5%; if the vehicle value is high, the proportion will be closer to 1%.

If it is charged per vehicle, if the exported cars are ordinary household new cars, the agency fee for each car may be between 2000 - 3000 yuan. If they are luxury cars, because the procedures may be more complicated, the fee will be higher, up to 4000 - 5000 yuan.

I heard that some agency companies also consider the export destination when charging. If it is to some remote or areas with complex policies, the agency fee will increase as the operation is more difficult.

The agency fee is also related to the document processing services provided by the agency company. If many complex certification documents need to be processed, the fee will definitely be higher.

If you cooperate with the agency company for a long time and the export volume is stable, perhaps you can negotiate a discount on the agency fee and have it charged at a lower proportion.

The charging differences among different agency companies are quite large. So consult several companies, compare the service content and charging standards before making a decision.

Sometimes, due to fierce market competition, agency companies may adjust the agency fee to attract business. Paying more attention to industry trends may help you get a more suitable price.

If the export of new cars involves special requirements, such as special packaging and transportation conditions, the agency fee will also increase.
