Whether the agency export fees are tax-exempt depends on different situations. First of all, for the agency fee, if the agent belongs to a small-scale VAT taxpayer and the monthly sales volume does not exceed 150,000 yuan (the quarterly sales volume does not exceed 450,000 yuan), according to relevant policy regulations, the income obtained from providing agency services is exempt from VAT.
If the agent is a general taxpayer, under normal circumstances, the agency export business belongs to the brokerage agency service in the business auxiliary services, and is subject to a 6% VAT rate and is not tax-exempt.
As for the customs declaration and inspection service fees, the customs declaration service belongs to the logistics auxiliary service, and the VAT rate is 6%, and it is usually not tax-exempt; there is currently no special tax exemption policy specifically for the inspection service, and it is generally also taxed at 6% for VAT. However, if the enterprise meets specific tax preferential policies, such as those related to export tax rebates, it can be judged whether it can enjoy the corresponding exemptions or reductions according to the actual situation. The specific situation still needs to be based on the actual operating conditions of the enterprise and the regulations of the local tax authorities.

The tax exemption of the agency fee should be compared with the policy standards. Small-scale taxpayers who meet the conditions have the opportunity to be tax-exempt.
