The quotation of import food customs declaration agents is also related to the quantity of the goods. If the quantity is large, the overall cost will be higher, but when averaged to each piece of goods, it may be more cost-effective. Some agents may charge according to the weight or volume of the goods, and it depends on the charging standard of the agent specifically.

In addition to the agency fee, there may also be some other fees involved, such as the entry fee of the customs declaration form, the inspection fee, etc. Inspection is not required for every bill, and it will only occur if the goods are randomly inspected. When looking for an agent, compare the quotations of several agents, and don't just choose the one with the lowest price.
