The calculation of export agency fees is usually relatively complex. First, the basic agency fee is generally charged at a certain percentage of the value of the exported goods. The common percentage is around 1% - 5%, and the specific amount varies depending on the agency company and the business volume. For example, if the value of the exported goods is 1 million US dollars, and the agency fee rate is 3%, the basic agency fee is 30,000 US dollars.
The customs declaration fee is relatively fixed. The fee for one customs declaration is approximately 200 - 500 yuan, mainly depending on the number of customs declarations and the complexity of the goods.
The transportation fee is calculated according to the transportation method, the weight and volume of the goods, and the transportation distance, etc. Sea transportation is charged by container, and the prices for full containers and less-than-container loads are different; air transportation is charged according to weight and volume, and generally, the heavier one is used for charging.
Normally, there are no hidden fees, but it is necessary to pay attention to the contract terms. For example, additional operating fees caused by the customer's own problems may need to be borne by oneself.
