Agency export fees generally include the following categories:
1. Agency fees: This is the main fee charged by the agency company. Common billing methods include charging according to a certain proportion of the export amount, for example, ranging from 0.8% to 3%. The specific proportion depends on the product category, the size of the trade volume, etc. There are also some that charge a fixed fee per order, which may be between 1,000 and 5,000 yuan per order.
2. Customs declaration fees: Usually calculated per bill, with each bill being approximately 200 - 500 yuan. If additional services are required during customs declaration, such as commodity inspection, etc., the fees will be calculated separately.
3. Transportation fees: Including the costs of domestic transportation to the port, which are calculated according to the transportation distance, the weight and volume of the goods, etc.; and also international transportation fees, which are determined according to the transportation mode (sea transportation, air transportation, etc.) and the actual situation of the goods.
4. Other fees: Such as document fees, terminal handling fees, etc. These fees are relatively fixed. Document fees are generally 200 - 500 yuan per bill, and terminal handling fees are charged according to the billing tonnage or container type of the goods. It should be noted that when negotiating fees with the agency company, it is necessary to clarify the specific meanings and calculation methods of each fee to avoid disputes in the later stage.

As for agency fees, if the export volume is large, the agency company may offer discounts and the proportion can be lower. In addition, transportation fees fluctuate relatively greatly. For example, in sea transportation, the prices may be different in different seasons.
