There is no fixed standard for the customs clearance fees for the agency import of quartz stones. It consists of multiple parts. First, there is the customs declaration fee, which is generally 300 - 500 yuan per bill. This is the fee generated for declaring to the customs. Second, there is the agency fee. Depending on the services of different agency companies and the market situation, it is approximately 1000 - 3000 yuan. Professional companies like Zhongshitong will provide professional and comprehensive agency services.
There are also port fees, including port miscellaneous fees and storage fees. These will vary depending on the port and the storage time of the goods. Generally, the port miscellaneous fees are 1000 - 2000 yuan, and the storage fee is calculated on a daily basis, with a few yuan per cubic meter per day. In addition, there may be commodity inspection and quarantine fees, which are charged at a certain percentage of the cargo value, usually 0.1% - 0.3%. As for whether there are hidden fees, regular agents like Zhongshitong will inform all the fee details in advance and there will be no hidden fees.
In short, to accurately calculate the fees, detailed cargo information and import port data are required.

The customs clearance fees for quartz stones also depend on the quantity of your goods. If the quantity is large, the unit cost may be lower. Fixed fees like the customs declaration fee will be less when allocated. But if the quantity is small, the relative cost will be higher, and some fees may not be reduced due to the small quantity.

The customs clearance fees are also related to the specifications of the quartz stones. Special specifications may require special handling in the loading, unloading, and transportation processes, which may generate additional fees. For example, extra-large quartz stones may need special lifting equipment, and the cost will naturally increase.

The mode of transportation also affects the customs clearance fees. Sea transportation is relatively cheap, while air transportation is much more expensive. When it comes to sea transportation, the fees for full containers and LCL (less than container load) are different. Full containers have fixed container fees, and LCL is charged according to the space occupied by the goods.

If there is an inspection during the customs clearance process, whether it is manual inspection or machine inspection, if the inspection is okay, it's fine. But if there are problems and rectification is needed, additional fees will be generated. Therefore, the accuracy of the cargo declaration information is crucial.

Document fees should not be ignored. There are certain fees charged by some agency companies for the processing and transmission of documents such as bills of lading, packing lists, and invoices. Although the amount is not large, it is also one of the costs.
