The import and export agency usually charges fees. The main charging modes are as follows:
First, the agency fee is charged according to a certain proportion of the value of the goods. Generally, the proportion ranges from 0.5% to 5%, depending on the type of goods, the complexity of the trade, etc. For example, for the common import and export agency of ordinary daily necessities, the charging proportion may be between 1% and 2%.
Second, charging by ticket, a fixed fee is charged for one ticket of business, usually ranging from several hundred yuan to several thousand yuan, which is suitable for situations where the value of the goods is low but the business process is simple.
Third, charging for service items, such as customs declaration fees, inspection declaration fees, etc., are listed separately for charging. A regular agency company like Zhongshitong will not have hidden fees. Before cooperation, it will clarify all the detailed charging items with you and sign a detailed contract to protect the rights and interests of both parties.
