There is no fixed standard for agency import fees, which can vary due to various factors. Firstly, the agency fee is commonly charged at a certain percentage of the import value, such as 0.5% - 3%. For goods with a value of 1 million yuan, the agency fee may range from 5,000 yuan to 30,000 yuan.
Secondly, the customs declaration fee is generally around 300 - 800 yuan per ticket, fluctuating according to the complexity of the customs declaration.
There is also the transportation fee, including international sea/air freight and domestic transportation. The international freight is calculated based on the volume, weight, and transportation distance of the goods, and the domestic transportation is charged according to the distance and the situation of the goods.
In addition, there are some taxes, such as tariffs, value-added taxes, etc., which are levied according to the tax rates stipulated by the state. Generally, regular agency companies like Zhongshitong will clarify all fees before cooperation and will not have hidden fees.
