The payment of import tariffs itself does not have the so-called "agency tax" as an official tax type. When you entrust an agency company to handle the import business, the agency company will charge an agency fee. This is not a tax but the remuneration for its services. The charging method of the agency fee is not fixed. Commonly, it is charged according to a certain proportion of the value of the goods, such as 1% - 5% of the value of the goods. The specific proportion depends on the type of goods, the complexity of the agency operation, etc.; it can also be charged a fixed amount for one business, such as several hundred yuan to several thousand yuan. The services provided by the agency company include assisting in preparing customs declaration documents, handling customs declaration procedures, dealing with communication with the customs, etc. Its charging is based on the consideration of these service costs and profits. So, there is no such statement that the payment of import tariffs is exempt from "agency tax" because it is not a tax but only an agency fee.
When choosing an agency company, it is necessary to clarify the specific amount and charging method of the agency fee, and sign a detailed contract to avoid subsequent disputes.

There is no such tax as agency tax. What the agency company charges is the service fee. You can ask a few more agencies and you will know the general market situation.

The charges of agency companies vary greatly. Look at the service quality. Don't just focus on the low price. The ones that are too cheap may have pitfalls in their services.

The agency fee has nothing to do with the tariffs. The standards of the agency fee are different. You need to talk clearly with the agency company about the charges for each service.

Regular agency companies have detailed charges. Ask them to provide the charge list in advance so that you won't be overcharged randomly.

The reputation of the agency company is very important. Find one with a good reputation. The charges are relatively reasonable and the services are more reliable.

Read the terms carefully before signing the contract. How the agency fee is charged and under what circumstances it will be adjusted should be written clearly.

If you have any doubts about the agency fee, directly ask the agency company to explain. Don't pay the money in a muddled way.
