The charging standard of the export agency fee is not fixed. The following are several common billing methods. One is to charge a certain proportion of the cargo value. Generally, the proportion is between 0.5% and 5%. For businesses with a low cargo value and complex operations, the proportion may be higher; for those with a high cargo value and simple operations, the proportion may be lower. For example, for some common general cargo export agencies, if the cargo value is relatively high, the agency fee may be around 1% - 2%.
Another method is to charge by the ticket. The fee per ticket may range from several hundred yuan to several thousand yuan, which is applicable to businesses with a low cargo value but complex document processing. Some agents may also comprehensively price based on the cargo value and operation difficulty. In addition, some agents may also charge some additional fees, such as customs declaration fees and document fees. For the specific export agency fee, it is recommended that you communicate with a professional export agency company like Zhongshitong. After explaining the business situation in detail, they will give a more accurate quotation.

When I previously found an agent for export, the agency fee was charged at 1.5% of the cargo value. I felt it was quite reasonable. You can refer to this.

Charging the agency fee according to the proportion of the cargo value seems more reasonable, after all, it is linked to the value of the goods.
