In Shijiazhuang, import and export agencies usually charge fees. The charging models generally include the following:
First, the agency fee is charged according to the proportion of the goods value. The common proportion ranges from 0.5% - 3%. The specific proportion will be adjusted according to factors such as the category of the goods, the goods value, and the operational difficulty. For example, for some ordinary daily necessities, when the goods value is large, the proportion may be lower; while for high-value and special-category goods, the proportion of the agency fee may be higher.
Second, charge per ticket. This charging method does not consider the goods value. A fixed fee is charged for each ticket of goods, generally ranging from a few hundred yuan to several thousand yuan, which is suitable for businesses with a low goods value but a relatively standard operation process.
Third, some agencies will charge some additional fees, such as customs declaration fees, document fees, terminal fees, etc. These fees are generally reimbursed on an actual expense basis. Professional import and export agency companies like Zhongshitong have relatively transparent and reasonable charging and will clearly inform all fees before cooperation.
