The calculation of the ocean freight import agency fee does not have a fixed and unified standard and is usually composed of multiple parts.
First, the customs declaration fee is usually calculated by ticket. One ticket is about several hundred yuan, and it may vary according to different ports and the complexity of customs declaration.
Second, the inspection declaration fee. If the goods need to be inspected, the fee is usually charged according to a certain proportion of the value of the goods, and the proportion is roughly a few thousandths.
Third, the delivery order exchange fee. This part of the fee varies according to different shipping companies and agents, and it is usually about several hundred yuan.
Fourth, the THC fee (Terminal Handling Charge). The charging standards of different ports are different. It is commonly charged according to the size of the container, and there are differences in the charges for small and large containers.
In addition, there may also be a storage fee. If the goods are detained at the dock or in the warehouse, it will be generated and calculated by day or by volume and weight. There is also the transportation fee, which is the fee for transporting the goods from the port to the designated location and is priced according to the transportation distance and the quantity of the goods. Generally speaking, multiple factors need to be considered comprehensively to determine the ocean freight import agency fee.

Generally, the customs declaration fee is fixed. However, if the goods have special supervision conditions and the difficulty of customs declaration is high, the fee will increase. For inspection declaration, some legally inspected goods must be inspected, and the fee is linked to the value of the goods.
