There is no unified standard for the charging of export agencies in Chengdu. There are mainly the following charging models.
One is to charge according to a certain percentage of the order amount. The common percentage ranges from 0.5% to 5%, depending on factors such as product type and business complexity. For example, the export agency percentage for ordinary daily necessities may be 1% - 2%, while for some high - value or complicated - procedure products, the percentage may be higher.
Another is to charge a fixed fee per order, generally 2000 - 5000 yuan/order, which is suitable for situations with a small business volume and a low order amount.
Some agents will also charge according to the specific service items involved in the export business, such as customs declaration, booking, freight insurance, etc., with each service item billed separately. In short, the specific cost needs to be determined through communication with the agency company in combination with one's own business needs.

I heard that the charging is related to the value of the exported products. The higher the value, the relatively lower the charging percentage, after all, the amount base is large. For example, for the export of electronic products with a high amount, the agency charging percentage may be around 1%. For products with a low unit price like textiles, the percentage may be 2% - 3%.

Some agency companies will consider the complexity of the export process. Products that need to do various certifications have a complex process and thus a higher charge. If it is just a regular export, the charge is relatively low.

As far as I know, it is also related to the self - positioning of the agency company. Some that focus on high - end services may charge higher, but the services are more comprehensive and professional. While some small agencies may charge lower, but the services may not be so perfect.

It is also related to the trade method. Generally, the agency charge for general trade is relatively stable. For special trade methods such as processing trade, the charge may be adjusted because it involves additional work such as manual handling.

The size of the business volume also affects the charging. For long - term cooperative customers with a large business volume, the agency company may give certain discounts, such as reducing the charging percentage or having package discounts.

There may also be differences in charging in different regions. The agency charges in downtown Chengdu and the surrounding suburban counties may be slightly different, and the downtown area may be a little higher.

In addition, market conditions will also affect the charging. If the foreign trade market is highly competitive, agency companies may appropriately reduce the charge to attract customers.

If the exported products have tax rebates, some agency companies may make arrangements regarding the tax rebate. Some will charge a higher agency fee after the tax rebate comes down. This needs to be clearly discussed.
