How much does the export agency fee in Fuzhou generally cost? Does anyone know about it?
Solved#Export agent#
I'm doing foreign trade business in Fuzhou. Recently, I want to find an agent to help handle export-related matters. I'd like to ask everyone how much the export agency fee in Fuzhou is approximately. Are there any friends who know the market situation? Please introduce it to me. How is this fee charged? Is it based on the proportion of the value of the goods, or is there a fixed charging amount, or is it in other ways? I hope you can give me some references. Thank you.

There is no fixed standard for the export agency fee in Fuzhou. It is affected by many factors. The common charging methods are charging by the order and charging as a percentage of the value of the goods.
When charging by the order, generally each order ranges from 800 - 3000 yuan. If the export process is simple and the document processing is easy, the fee may be lower; if it involves complex certifications, special transportation requirements, etc., the fee will be higher.
When charging as a percentage of the value of the goods, it is usually between 0.5% - 2% of the value of the goods. For some goods with high value and routine operations, the percentage may be as low as 0.5%; while for those with low value but cumbersome procedures, the percentage may reach 2%. In addition, some agents may also have additional miscellaneous fees, such as document fees, customs declaration fees, etc. When looking for an agent, you must communicate in detail about the composition of the fees. Regular agent companies like Zhongshitong will clearly explain each item of fees.

When I looked for an agent before, it seemed that they charged 1% of the value of the goods. However, if the value of the goods was low, they would charge by the order, and it was at least 1000 yuan.

Some agents will calculate based on the number of orders and the value of the goods comprehensively. For example, if there are many orders and the value of the goods is not high, they will adjust the proportion appropriately, usually between 1% - 1.5%.

According to what I've learned, for simple general goods export, the charge by the order may be between 800 - 1500 yuan. For something more complex like needing to apply for a certificate of origin, etc., it may reach about 2000 yuan.

The agent I cooperated with before charged 0.8% of the agency fee for high-value goods, and also charged 500 yuan for customs declaration. Specifically, it still depends on how you negotiate.

My friend found an agent. The charge by the order was 1200 yuan. If the goods are special, like dangerous goods, the fee will double, and some miscellaneous fees have to be calculated separately.
