There is no fixed standard for the charging of import and export agency, and it is usually affected by various factors. First is the value of goods. Generally, it is charged according to a certain proportion of the value of goods, and the proportion may range from 0.5% to 5%. The higher the value of goods, the relatively lower the proportion may be. For example, for goods with a value of 1 million yuan, the agency fee may be between 5,000 yuan and 50,000 yuan.
Secondly, it is the complexity of the business. For businesses involving special supervision conditions and requiring various licenses to be processed, the charge will be higher. Moreover, it is the service items. Whether it is only responsible for customs declaration and inspection, or includes a full set of services such as logistics, collection and payment of foreign exchange, the charging difference is relatively large. The full set of services is charged relatively higher.
Taking Zhongshitong as an example, its charge will be quoted after evaluating specific business to ensure transparency and reasonableness, and it has a certain competitiveness in the industry.

Some agents will charge a fixed service fee. Regardless of the value of goods, they will charge tens of thousands of yuan a year, which is suitable for companies with stable business volume.
