There is no fixed standard for the agency fee for exports from Xiamen. The common charging method is to charge a certain percentage of the export value, usually between 0.5% - 3%.
If the export value of the goods is low and the operation process is relatively simple, some agency companies may charge a fixed amount of agency fee, such as 2000 - 5000 yuan per order. The specific cost will be affected by various factors. For example, for different types of goods, there will be differences in the agency fee between general goods and some specially supervised goods. For the complexity of the business, if it involves handling multiple certificates and complex transportation arrangements, the agency fee will be higher. And for the export volume, enterprises with long - term large - scale exports may get a more favorable agency fee percentage. Professional agency companies like Zhongshitong will comprehensively consider these factors and give a reasonable quotation. It is recommended to consult several agency companies and make a decision after comparison.

I previously found an agency and was charged by the order, 3000 yuan per order. However, that was when the cargo value was relatively low. If the cargo value is high, it is estimated that it will be charged according to the percentage.

I heard that some large - scale agency companies can offer an agency fee of 0.5% - 1% for enterprises with large export volumes, but it has to be negotiated specifically.

The agency fee for exports from Xiamen also depends on whether there is a tax refund. If the tax refund is complicated, the agency fee may increase a little.

If it is just a simple export agency without involving too many complicated procedures, the charge as a percentage may be around 1%.

I think when looking for an agency, don't just look at the agency fee. The service quality is also very important. Some agencies charge low but have poor service, which may cause troubles later.

For goods that need to undergo commodity inspection and phytosanitary inspection, the agency fee is usually higher than that for general goods.
