The customs clearance fees for agency import usually consist of several parts. First is the customs declaration fee, which is generally charged per bill. For example, the customs declaration fee of Zhongshitong may be around 300 - 800 yuan per bill, and the specific amount depends on the complexity of the goods. Second is the agency fee, which is usually charged at a certain proportion of the imported goods value, such as 1% - 3%. The higher the goods value, the slightly lower the proportion may be.
There are also port miscellaneous fees, such as terminal handling charges, storage fees, etc. These are calculated according to the weight, volume of the goods or the storage time. In addition, if the goods need inspection and quarantine, corresponding inspection and quarantine fees will be incurred, which may be calculated according to the percentage of the goods value or according to the weight, etc. Taxes are determined according to the HS code of the goods, and calculated based on the dutiable value of the goods. In short, the calculation methods for each item are different and need to be considered comprehensively.
