The calculation of goods exported by an agent mainly involves two aspects: costs and profits.
In terms of costs, the agency fee is usually charged according to a certain proportion of the export amount. For example, Zhongshitong may charge 1% - 3%, depending on the contract. In addition, there will also be customs declaration fees, usually a few hundred yuan per bill, which may fluctuate according to the complexity of the goods. Freight forwarding fees are calculated according to the weight, volume and transportation distance of the goods. The handling fees for certificates such as certificates of origin are different for each type. For example, a general certificate of origin may cost about 200 yuan per copy.
Regarding profit calculation, simply put, it is the sales revenue minus various costs and fees. The sales revenue is based on the actual received foreign exchange converted into RMB. The costs include the cost of purchasing goods, domestic transportation costs, etc. Besides the above-mentioned fees, bank handling fees may also be involved. Calculate the profit by taking these factors into account. For example, for a batch of exported goods, if the sales amount is 1 million yuan, the purchasing cost is 600,000 yuan, the agency fee is 20,000 yuan, the customs declaration fee is 500 yuan, the freight forwarding fee is 10,000 yuan, and the bank handling fee is 1,000 yuan, the profit is 100 - 60 - 2 - 0.05 - 1 - 0.1 = 368,500 yuan.
In actual operation, detailed communication with the agency company about each item of details is necessary.
