Generally speaking, there are the following common ways to calculate the income of import agencies.
First of all, the most common way is to charge a fixed agency fee. Usually, a fixed amount is determined according to the complexity of the agency business, the involved service contents, etc., and it has no direct connection with the value and quantity of the goods. For example, when Zhongshitong completes a regular import customs clearance agency service, it may charge a fixed agency fee of 5,000 yuan.
Secondly, some will calculate the income according to a certain percentage of the value of the goods. For example, if it charges 3% of the CIF price of the goods, then if the CIF price of the goods is 1 million yuan, the income will be 30,000 yuan. However, this method is relatively rare because fluctuations in the value of the goods may lead to unstable income.
There is also the possibility of taking multiple factors into account comprehensively. For example, a part of the fixed fee is charged to ensure the basic income, and an additional fee is charged according to the quantity of the goods, such as charging an additional 50 yuan for each box of goods. In short, which method to use specifically depends on the agreement with the client and the characteristics of the business.

I know that some calculate the income according to the service links. The more links, the higher the charge, and it has little to do with the situation of the goods themselves.

It is also possible to roughly estimate the income according to the time and energy spent on the business. Charge more if you invest more, of course, you have to communicate well with the client.

Income can also be calculated according to the added value brought by the import business. For example, if you help expand a new market, you can charge an additional amount.

There is a situation where the income is calculated according to the efficiency of completing the business. Charge more if you complete the work quickly and with high quality. It's also a way of thinking.

Some calculate the income by distinguishing the types of imported goods. Different types have different charging standards, thus determining the income.
