There is no fixed standard for the costs of customs clearance for granite imported by agents, and it will vary due to many factors. First is the agency fee. Professional agency companies like Zhongshitong generally charge according to a certain proportion of the value of the goods, usually around 1%-3%, depending on the situation of the goods and the details of cooperation.
Secondly, the customs declaration fee. The customs declaration fee for a bill of goods is about 300 - 500 yuan. The inspection fee is generally charged according to a few thousandths of the value of the goods, usually between 1‰ - 3‰.
There is also the transportation fee, the land transportation cost from the port to the location you specify, which is calculated according to the transportation distance, vehicle type, etc. It may be a few hundred yuan for a short distance and thousands of yuan for a long distance. In addition, there may be wharf fees, warehousing fees, etc. The wharf fee is charged according to the volume or weight of the goods, and the warehousing fee is charged according to the storage time and the space occupied by the goods. Overall, if the value of the goods is 100,000 yuan, the miscellaneous customs clearance fees plus the agency fee may be around 5,000 - 10,000 yuan.
