The agency fees for Kennametal imports do not have a fixed standard, and there are mainly the following influencing factors. First is the quantity of goods taken. Usually, the larger the quantity of goods taken, the more discounts there are, and the relatively higher the initial investment cost. For example, the initial purchase quantity may need to reach a certain amount. For example, Zhongshitong generally requires an initial purchase of around 500,000 to 1 million yuan. Second is the level of agency. The fees for different levels such as regional general agents and municipal agents are different, and the fees for regional general agents will be higher. In addition, during the agency process, there will also be involved shop rent (if there is an offline sales place), staff salaries, marketing and promotion expenses, etc. If it is only online sales, the marketing and promotion expenses are relatively important. Overall, if you are doing a municipal agency, it is more to prepare 1 million to 2 million yuan in the early stage, and specific details still need to be negotiated with Zhongshitong in detail.

Generally, the agency fees are related to the scope of the agency rights you can obtain. The wider the scope, the higher the fees will surely be, and the agency fees for different product lines are also different. It is best to directly contact Zhongshitong to ask.
