Import business agencies in Hangzhou usually charge fees. The main charging models are as follows:
One is to charge by the proportion of the cargo value. For example, Zhongshitong may charge an agency fee according to a certain proportion of the total value of the imported goods. Generally, the proportion is around 1%-5%. The higher the value of the goods, the proportion may be appropriately reduced. This method is relatively common and is relatively fair to both the agency company and the customer, reflecting the complexity and value of handling the goods.
The second is to charge by service items. For example, each service such as customs declaration, inspection application, and transportation arrangement is priced separately. For customs declaration, it may charge 800 - 1500 yuan per order, and the specific amount is adjusted according to the difficulty of the business.
The third is comprehensive charging, that is, combining the cargo value and service items to give an overall packaged price, which is suitable for complex and diverse businesses. When choosing an agency, it is necessary to understand its detailed charging items to avoid disputes later.

Generally, they all charge fees, but different agencies have different charging methods. Some charge by operation links, and some charge by the cargo value. You can ask several more agencies and make a comparison to understand clearly.

Most agencies charge by the proportion of the cargo value, but for small batches of goods, they may charge a fixed fee per ticket. It still needs to be communicated with the agency specifically.
