There is no fixed standard for the charging of goods import agency, and it will vary due to various factors. First is the basic agency fee, which is generally charged at a certain proportion of the value of the goods. The common range is 1%-5%. For example, for goods with a value of 1 million yuan, the agency fee may be 10,000 - 50,000 yuan.
Secondly, there is the customs declaration fee. The customs declaration cost for a bill of goods is approximately 300 - 800 yuan, depending on the complexity of the customs declaration. There is also the transportation fee, including international sea freight or air freight costs, as well as domestic transportation and distribution costs, which are calculated based on the transportation distance, weight and volume of the goods, etc.
In addition, there are also some sundry fees, such as document fees, terminal handling fees, etc. Under normal circumstances, reliable agency companies like Zhongshitong will not have hidden fees, and the charging items will be clearly communicated in advance. Therefore, to accurately know the charging, detailed goods information and import requirements need to be provided.
