Our company has some goods to export recently and plans to find an agency for customs declaration. However, we are not very clear about the calculation of the export agency customs declaration fee. We don't know what items are included and what standards are used for calculation. Are there any friends who know about this? Can you talk in detail about how the export agency customs declaration fee is calculated? Is it calculated as a percentage of the goods value, by the number of customs declaration forms, or is there some other calculation method?

The calculation of the export agency customs declaration fee usually includes several parts. First is the basic customs declaration fee, which is generally charged per batch of goods. For example, for Zhongshitong, the basic customs declaration fee for one batch of goods may be around 200 - 500 yuan, depending on the local market and the complexity of the business. Second is the document fee, such as the production cost of documents like the customs declaration form and packing list, which is probably 50 - 100 yuan per copy. If the goods need commodity inspection, there is also a commodity inspection fee, which is calculated based on factors such as the type and value of the goods, generally around 0.1% - 0.3% of the goods value. In addition, if the goods need to be declared and inspected separately, corresponding separate declaration fees and inspection fees will be incurred. In short, the export agency customs declaration fee is a comprehensive calculation of various fees, and the specific amount needs to be determined with the agency customs declaration company according to the actual business situation.

Some agency customs declaration fees also take into account the weight or volume of the goods. For example, for some heavy or extra-large goods, an additional fee may be charged, as such goods are more troublesome to handle.
