There are generally several common ways to calculate fees for agency exports. First is the agency fee, which is usually charged at a certain proportion of the value of exported goods, for example, ranging from 1% to 5%, and the specific proportion depends on the type of goods, the complexity of the business, etc. For example, for goods with an export value of 1 million yuan, if the agency fee proportion is 3%, the agency fee is 30,000 yuan.
The customs declaration fee is generally charged per bill, and it is about 200 - 500 yuan per bill, which depends on the charging standards of the customs broker and the difficulty level of the customs declaration business.
There are also transportation and sundry fees. For example, the ocean freight is calculated according to the volume, weight and transportation distance of the goods; the land freight is calculated by ton-kilometer or by the whole vehicle, etc. In addition, there may be some other fees involved, such as document fees, certificate of origin fees, etc. These fees are relatively fixed, ranging from tens to hundreds of yuan. Taken together, all kinds of fees should be comprehensively considered to accurately calculate the agency export cost.
