How much is the import agency fee of ETERNAL Asia generally? Does anyone know about it?
Solved#Import agent#
Our company has import business recently and wants to know about how much the import agency fee of ETERNAL Asia is approximately. I heard that ETERNAL Asia is quite famous in supply chain services. I don't know what their charging standards for import agency fees are. Is it charged according to the proportion of the value of the goods, or is there a fixed charging mode? In addition, will there be a big difference in the agency fees for different types of goods? I hope friends who know about it can share relevant information.

The import agency fee of ETERNAL Asia does not have a fixed standard and the charging mode is relatively flexible. Usually, it will be priced based on various factors. On the one hand, it is charged according to a certain proportion of the value of the goods, and the proportion may range from 0.5% to 5%. For example, for high-value electronic products with low transportation and customs clearance difficulties, the proportion may be lower, close to 0.5%; while for some special chemical products, due to the complexity of customs clearance, the proportion may be close to 5%. On the other hand, the complexity of the operation will also be considered. For example, for goods that require special qualification certifications and have high inspection and quarantine requirements, the agency fee will increase. In addition, the quantity of the goods and the mode of transportation will also be referred to. In short, for the specific fee, it is recommended that you directly contact ETERNAL Asia, provide detailed goods information, and they will give an accurate quotation.

I heard that the import agency fee is related to the quantity of the goods. If the quantity of the goods is large, the agency fee can be negotiated to be relatively lower. You can communicate more with them about the quantity of the goods to see if you can get a discount.

In addition to the basic agency fee, you should also ask clearly whether there are other hidden fees, such as document processing fees, wharf miscellaneous fees, etc. You should know about them in advance.

Sometimes the peak and off-peak seasons also have an impact on the agency fee. In the off-peak season, the business volume is small, and there may be room for concession in the agency fee.
