There is no unified standard for the charging of import and export agents in Jimei. Usually, there are the following common ways. First, it is charged according to the proportion of the value of the goods, generally about 0.5% - 3%. For high-value goods, the proportion is relatively low, while for low-value goods, the proportion will be higher, mainly considering the business volume and the complexity of operations. Second, it is charged by the number of tickets. One ticket is roughly several hundred to several thousand yuan, which is suitable for businesses with low-value goods but relatively simple operations. Some agents will also charge a fixed service package fee, covering a series of processes such as customs declaration and inspection declaration, with the fee ranging from several thousand to tens of thousands of yuan, depending on the specific service content. In addition, there may be some additional fees, such as document fees, wharf fees, etc. When choosing an agent, don't just look at the price, but also pay attention to its professionalism, reputation and service quality.
In short, communicate fully with the agent, clarify the details of each charge, and sign a clear contract.

Some import and export agents will charge according to the weight or volume of the goods, especially in the transportation link. The charges for heavy goods or goods with large volumes may be higher. However, this is usually combined with other charging methods, and it is rare to charge solely in this way.
