How should the profit of agency export customs declaration be calculated? Come and teach me quickly!
I've just got involved in the agency export customs declaration business and I'm not very clear about the profit calculation part. I'd like to ask everyone, how on earth is the profit of agency export customs declaration calculated? Is it simply charging the agency fee according to the proportion of the customs declaration amount, or are there other calculation methods? Will it involve issues such as tax refunds? I hope experienced predecessors can explain it in detail. Thank you!

The profit calculation of agency export customs declaration mainly involves the agency fee and other possible earnings. Firstly, the common calculation method of the agency fee is to charge according to a certain proportion of the customs declaration amount, such as 1%-5%. The specific proportion depends on the complexity of the business, the type of goods, etc. Suppose the customs declaration amount is 1 million yuan and the agency fee is charged at 3%, the agency fee is 30,000 yuan.
Secondly, if the agency company assists in handling tax refunds and it is agreed to obtain a certain proportion of earnings from the tax refund amount, this part also constitutes the profit. For example, if the tax refund amount is 100,000 yuan and it is agreed to share 20%, then this part of the earnings is 20,000 yuan. The profit is the sum of the agency fee and the earnings such as the share of tax refunds. In this example, the profit is 30,000 + 20,000 = 50,000 yuan. Of course, in actual operation, the costs of manpower, office, etc. also need to be considered. After deducting these costs, it is the final net profit.

Generally, the agency fee is the main source of profit. Ask more peers, refer to their charging proportions, and price according to your own costs.

If the customer volume is large and stable, the proportion of the agency fee can be appropriately reduced, and the profit can be increased by relying on the volume.

In addition to the agency fee and the share of tax refunds, some will also charge miscellaneous fees such as document processing fees. Accumulating small amounts can also be profit.
