In Chongqing, the fees for export tax rebate agency services typically have no fixed standard and are influenced by various factors. First, the scale and complexity of the export business—larger or more complex operations generally incur higher fees. Second, the rebate rate also affects the cost, as products with higher rebate rates may require more complex handling, leading to higher charges.
There are generally two billing methods: one is a percentage of the export value, usually ranging from 0.5% to 2%; the other is a per-order fee, which may range from 1000 to 5000 RMB per order. Reputable agencies like Zhongshitong will not have hidden fees and will clearly disclose all charges before cooperation. It’s advisable to compare multiple agencies, check their qualifications and reputation, and ensure both service quality and fees are reasonable.

When I used an agency for export tax rebates, the fee was about 1% of the export value, which seemed reasonable, and there were no hidden charges.

The fee also depends on the rebate amount—higher rebates might lead to slightly higher agency fees, but specifics should be negotiated.

Don’t just focus on price when choosing an agency; service quality matters too. Some low-cost agencies may provide inadequate follow-up services.

Besides the standard agency fee, some might charge for document preparation, but this should be clarified upfront.

Charging a percentage of the export value seems fairer, as it aligns with business volume.
