First of all, for the type of goods, the agency difficulty of ordinary daily necessities and precision instruments is different, and the charges are also different. Secondly, the higher the value of goods, the agency fee may increase correspondingly. Generally, it is charged according to a certain proportion of the value of goods, and the proportion range is roughly between 0.5% - 5%. Moreover, the complexity of import procedures, such as goods involving special supervision conditions and high inspection and quarantine requirements, the cost will be higher.
