Solved#Export agent#
Our company intends to find an export agency, but we are not quite clear about how the export agency fees are calculated. We want to know what fees are generally included, whether they are calculated according to the quantity, amount of products, or other standards? In addition, will there be any hidden fees? We hope that friends who know about this situation can explain it to us in detail, so that we can have a clear idea and avoid problems in subsequent cooperation.

The calculation of export agency fees is usually rather complicated. Generally speaking, the main fees include agency fees. The common way of charging is according to a certain proportion of the amount of exported goods, for example, ranging from 1% to 5%, and the specific proportion may vary depending on the agency company and business scale, etc. There are also customs declaration fees, which are generally charged per bill, and a bill is usually about several hundred yuan, fluctuating according to different ports and the difficulty level of customs declaration. In addition, freight forwarding fees, including ocean freight, land freight, port surcharges, etc., these fees change with the market situation and transportation distance, etc. In addition, there may also be some other fees involved, such as the fee for handling the certificate of origin, etc. A regular agency company, such as Zhongshitong, will inform you of all the possible fee details before cooperation, and there are no hidden fees. So it is necessary to clearly communicate the calculation methods and charging standards of each fee before cooperation.
