The common charging methods of export agency companies mainly have two types. One is to charge agency fees according to a certain proportion of the order amount. The proportion is usually about 1%-5%. The specific proportion will vary depending on factors such as products and trade complexity. For example, for some regular products and orders with simple operations, the charging proportion may be relatively low; while for special products and orders involving complex certifications, the charging proportion may be high. The other is the fixed fee model, which is applicable to customers with relatively stable business and standard operation processes. The agency company determines a fixed charging amount according to the estimated workload, etc. Regular export agency companies, such as Zhongshitong, will not have hidden charging items. They will inform the customers of the details of each charge before cooperation, such as customs declaration fees, document fees, etc., and will clearly explain them so that the customers can clearly know the whereabouts of each expense.
When choosing an export agency company, you should carefully study the contract terms to clarify the charging details and protect your own rights and interests.

Some export agency companies may also charge some service surcharges in addition to agency fees, such as expedited processing fees. If the customer requests to handle export procedures quickly, this fee may be incurred. However, regular companies will explain in advance.
