Shanxi import agents usually charge fees. The common charging models of agents are as follows: First, charging by the proportion of the goods value, which is a relatively common way. For example, Zhongshitong may charge agency fees according to a certain percentage of the total value of imported goods. The proportion is usually about 1%-5%, and the specific amount will be determined comprehensively according to the type of goods, the value of goods, and the operation difficulty. Second, charging per order. Regardless of the value of the goods, a fixed fee is charged for completing one import agency business, generally ranging from 1000 - 5000 yuan. There are also some that may charge separately for specific services, such as handling special permits, inspection and quarantine, and other additional matters. Regular import agents like Zhongshitong have no hidden fees and will inform customers of the details of various charges before cooperation.

When choosing an agent, carefully read the contract terms to clarify the charging content.

Yes, they charge. Generally, it depends on the situation of the goods. The charge for ordinary goods may be lower. If it involves special goods such as endangered species, the cost will definitely be higher.

Certainly they charge. Otherwise, how can they make a profit? Some agents may add money in the transportation link, so it's necessary to ask clearly how the transportation fee is calculated.

Charging is inevitable. Some agents charge according to the difficulty of customs clearance. The simpler the customs clearance, the lower the fee.
