The cost composition of importing red wine as an agent is rather complex. First, there is the cost of goods, which depends on the brand, vintage, grade, etc. of the red wine, and the price differences among different products are large. Second, there are transportation expenses, including international sea freight or air freight charges, usually calculated by volume or weight, and in addition, there are domestic transportation and distribution costs.
As for tariffs, the general tariff rate for red wine imports is 14%, the value-added tax is 13%, and the consumption tax is 10%.
The customs clearance fees cannot be ignored either, including customs declaration fees, inspection application fees, etc., and these fees may be calculated per ticket. There are also storage fees. If the goods cannot be picked up in time after arriving at the port, storage costs will be incurred.
Moreover, regarding agency fees, if you find an agency company like Zhongshitong, the charging standards may vary depending on the company and the complexity of the business, and are generally charged according to a certain proportion of the value of the goods. In conclusion, the fees cannot be simply calculated per bottle or per batch, but need to be considered comprehensively.
