The revenue of an export agency company is usually not completely certain and there are certain fluctuations. Its main source of revenue is the agency service fee, which is generally charged at a certain proportion of the amount of exported goods, with the proportion ranging from approximately 1% to 5%. Therefore, the revenue will vary depending on the amount of goods.
In addition, if there are unexpected events during the cooperation, such as damage to goods due to force majeure, delivery delays, etc., it may affect the smooth progress of the export process, resulting in the agency company investing more time and energy costs. Although the revenue may be adjusted due to additional services, this change is not absolute.
At the same time, exchange rate fluctuations can also have an impact, as the agency company's revenue may be related to foreign exchange settlement. There is also the factor of market competition. If there are more agency companies in the market, in order to attract customers, they may reduce the charging standard, affecting the revenue. Overall, a variety of factors intertwined make the revenue of export agency companies less certain.

The revenue of an export agency company may also be affected by policies. For example, changes in the export tax rebate policy. If the tax rebate amount is adjusted, the service fees charged by the agency company may also change, thus affecting the revenue.

The stability of customer orders is also crucial. If there are long-term stable customers and a large number of orders, the revenue is relatively stable; conversely, if the orders are intermittent, the revenue is unstable.
