There is no fixed charging standard; it depends on the specific business. If it is a long-term cooperation with a large volume of business, perhaps a lower percentage can be negotiated.

Generally, charging by a percentage of the amount is more common. If the amount is high, even if the percentage is low, the agency fee is not small, so it needs to be considered comprehensively.

If the goods are special, such as dangerous goods, the agent's charge will definitely be much higher than that for ordinary goods.
