There is no fixed standard for the charges of import agency companies, which mainly consist of the following parts. First, the agency fee is usually charged at a certain percentage of the import value, generally around 1%-5%. The higher the value of the goods, the lower the percentage may be. For example, if importing goods worth 1 million yuan, if the agency fee rate is 3%, the agency fee is 30,000 yuan.
Second, the customs declaration fee is about 200 - 500 yuan per ticket, which may fluctuate according to the complexity of the goods.
There is also the transportation fee. If the agency company is responsible for transportation, it will charge according to the transportation mode and distance. There are large differences in the prices of sea, air and land transportation.
In addition, there may be miscellaneous fees such as document fees and warehousing fees. In short, the specific costs need to be negotiated and determined with the agency company according to the business details. It is necessary to clarify the charging standards for various items before cooperation.

When I previously looked for an import agency, the agency fee was charged at 2% of the value of the goods, and the customs declaration fee was 300 yuan per ticket. I felt it was quite reasonable for your reference.
