The charging of export customs declaration agents usually does not have a unified and fixed standard and will be affected by various factors. First of all, it is the type of goods. For example, for ordinary goods and specially supervised goods, the charging for specially supervised goods may be higher because the customs declaration requirements are complex. Secondly, the more the number of customs declaration forms, the relatively higher the charging. Moreover, the value of goods also has an impact. The procedures such as risk assessment for high-value goods during customs declaration are more complex, and the cost will increase. In addition, due to differences in economic levels, market competition, etc. in different regions, the charging is also different. Generally speaking, the charging of customs declaration agent companies like Zhongshitong will cover basic agency fees, document fees, inspection fees (if any), etc. The basic agency fees may range from several hundred yuan to several thousand yuan; the document fees are probably from dozens of yuan to over a hundred yuan; the inspection fees are charged according to the actual expenses incurred by the customs inspection. The specific charging needs to be determined by the agency company based on the actual business assessment.

Some customs declaration agents will charge by a batch of goods. Regardless of the value and quantity of the goods, a fixed charge of several hundred yuan per batch is suitable for the situation where the goods are simple and the quantity is small.

I learned that some will charge according to the weight of the goods. The charging for heavy goods is relatively high, but this way is not very common.

Some agents will also consider the trade mode, such as general trade and processing trade. The customs declaration procedures for processing trade are complex, and the charging will be a little higher.

The port factor also has an impact. The customs declaration business volume in busy ports is large, and the competition is fierce, so the price may be relatively transparent and stable; the charging in small ports may be more flexible.

Some agents will charge an operation fee, which is determined according to the operation difficulty and workload in the customs declaration process. The fee for complex operations is high.

If special businesses such as transit customs clearance are involved, the agency company will charge additional relevant fees, which are more expensive than ordinary customs declaration.

During the peak season, there is a lot of customs declaration business, and the agency company is short of manpower, so the charging may be slightly higher than that in the off-season.

In addition, the number of items on the customs declaration form also has an impact. If there are many items and the filling is complex, the charging will also increase.
