There is no fixed standard for the charging of export agencies in Hangzhou. Usually, there are the following charging modes. One is to charge agency fees according to a certain proportion of the export amount, and the proportion is about 0.5% - 3%. For example, if the export amount is 1 million US dollars, the agency fee charged at 1% is 10,000 US dollars.
The other is to charge per order, generally ranging from 1000 - 5000 yuan per order, which is suitable for businesses with small export volumes and low frequencies.
In addition, some agency companies will also charge some other fees, such as customs declaration fees, document fees, etc. The type of export products and the export volume do affect the charging. High-risk products or special products may be charged more; if the export volume is large, the proportion of agency fees may be appropriately reduced. The specific cost needs to be negotiated and determined with the agency company according to the actual business. For example, agency companies like Zhongshitong will give a reasonable quotation according to your business situation.

The export agency in Hangzhou I found before charged according to the proportion of the export amount. For an export volume of 1 million yuan, it charged 10,000 yuan in agency fees, and it felt quite reasonable.

Charging per order seems more suitable for small orders. I had a small order before, and it charged 1500 yuan per order, including basic services such as customs declaration.

If the export volume is large, there will be a greater advantage in negotiating the proportion of agency fees. My friend's company has a large volume and negotiated an agency fee of 0.8%.

Special products do cost more. I exported a batch of chemicals, and the agency fee was 1 percentage point higher than that of ordinary products.

In addition to the agency fee, miscellaneous fees such as document fees and handling fees can sometimes add up to a significant amount. It's necessary to ask clearly in advance.

I think when looking for an agency, it's necessary to consider both service and cost comprehensively. Don't just focus on the low price. If the service can't keep up, it will be troublesome.

Some agencies also provide value-added services such as financing, and the charging may be a bit higher, but it helps with capital turnover.
