The agency export fees usually consist of the following parts. First is the agency fee, which is generally charged according to a certain proportion of the export amount. The proportion is roughly between 1% and 5%, depending on the agency company and the complexity of the business. For example, if the goods exported are worth 1 million US dollars and the agency fee proportion is 3%, then the agency fee is 30,000 US dollars.
Secondly, there is the customs declaration fee, which is generally charged per bill. Each bill is roughly 200 - 500 yuan, and the price varies according to different ports and customs brokers.
There is also the transportation fee. For land transportation, it is calculated according to the number of kilometers, the weight and volume of the goods; for sea transportation, it is charged according to the type of container and the shipping route. For example, the cost of a 20-foot container to a certain specific port may be between 1,000 and 3,000 US dollars.
In addition, there are also some sundry fees, such as document fees and terminal handling fees. The document fee for one bill may be 100 - 200 yuan, and the terminal handling fee is charged according to the type of container. For different product categories, if they involve special supervision, inspection and quarantine, relevant fees will increase. For example, products subject to legal inspection need to pay inspection and quarantine fees.

Sometimes the agency fee is also linked to the export profit. If the profit is high, the agency may appropriately increase the proportion. If it is a long-term cooperation for the customs declaration fee, perhaps a preferential price can be negotiated with the customs broker.
