The cost composition involved in the export agency of packing containers is rather complex. First of all, it's the agency fee. Usually, the agency company will charge according to a certain proportion of the value of the packing containers. The proportion generally ranges from 1% to 5%. For example, for a packing container with a value of 1 million yuan, if the agency fee proportion is 3%, the agency fee will be 30,000 yuan.
Secondly, there are transportation costs, including the cost of transporting the goods to the port by domestic land transportation, as well as international ocean freight or air freight costs, which depend on the transportation distance, transportation mode and the weight and volume of the goods. The ocean freight fluctuates greatly. For example, from China to the west coast of the United States, the freight of a 20-foot container may be around $1,000 - $5,000.
There is also the customs declaration fee, which is generally around a few hundred yuan. In addition, the cost of handling the certificate of origin, inspection and quarantine fees, etc. that may be involved also need to be considered. So it's difficult to say exactly how much capital is required for the export agency of packing containers. It needs to be calculated by taking various factors into account.
