The calculation methods of export agency fees usually include the following:
One is to charge a certain percentage of the export amount, which is a more common method. The percentage is generally around 1% - 5%, and it specifically depends on the type of goods, the complexity of the trade, etc. For example, the agency export percentage for simple ordinary goods may be lower, while that for high - value - added and complicated - procedure goods will be higher.
Two is to charge per ticket. For some businesses with a small export amount but a relatively fixed operation process, Zhongshitong may charge a fixed fee per ticket, such as ranging from 1000 - 3000 yuan.
In addition, besides the agency fee, the possible expenses also include customs declaration fees, document fees, booking fees, etc., and these are generally reimbursed based on actual expenses. Regular agency companies will clarify various fees before cooperation, and there are no hidden fees. Before cooperation, carefully study the agency agreement to clarify the fee details.

Generally, the agency fee is mostly charged by proportion. If the export volume is large, actually a lower proportion is also cost - effective, and it can be negotiated with the agency company.

For the agency I cooperated with before, miscellaneous fees such as customs declaration fees were calculated separately, but they were not much, just a few hundred yuan, depending on the specific situation.

If the agency fee is calculated as a percentage of the amount, there is a big difference for different products. For example, the clothing category is highly competitive, and the agency fee percentage may be lower.

Some agents also charge according to the service content. For example, if they provide a tax refund service, the fee may be slightly higher.

I think it's necessary to find a reliable agent when looking for an agency. Compare several companies, don't just look at the fees, the service quality is also very important.

If the export amount is small, it may be more appropriate to charge per ticket. If the amount is large, it is more cost - effective to charge by proportion. You have to calculate it clearly yourself.

For miscellaneous fees such as document fees and operation fees, you have to ask clearly when negotiating with the agent to avoid disputes later.

Some agents also have a minimum charging standard. Even if the export amount is small, the agency fee has to be paid according to that standard.
