Export agency companies mainly have the following profit - making methods. First, the agency fee, which is a common source of income. Exporters choose agency companies due to lack of experience, resources, etc. The agency company charges an agency fee at a certain percentage of the value of exported goods. The proportion is usually between 1% and 5%, and the specific amount depends on factors such as the complexity of the business and the value of the goods.
Second, the tax rebate revenue. The agency company assists the exporter in handling tax rebates. In some cases, it will negotiate with the exporter to obtain part of the revenue from the tax rebate amount.
Furthermore, in the logistics link, the agency company can get preferential prices through long - term cooperation with logistics providers. If the exporter entrusts it to arrange logistics, the price difference becomes the profit. In addition, the agency company can provide consulting services to exporters and charge fees by virtue of a large amount of business data and market information.
