The common charging methods of export agents who advance tax refunds are mainly as follows.
First, charge according to a certain proportion of the export amount. Generally, the proportion is about 0.8%-3%. The specific proportion will vary depending on factors such as the type of goods and the complexity of the trade. For example, for common ordinary products, the proportion may be 1%-1.5%; if it is a high-value or complex electronic product, etc., the proportion may be lower, about 0.8%-1%.
Second, charge per single invoice. The charge per invoice varies from 800 to 3000 yuan. This charging method is more suitable for businesses with low value of goods but a large number of invoices. Meanwhile, there may also be some other miscellaneous fees, such as customs declaration fees and document fees. When choosing, it is necessary to comprehensively consider your own business situation and communicate clearly with the agent company about all kinds of fees to avoid disputes in the later stage.

Some agents will charge according to the amount of tax refunds. However, this method is relatively rare. Generally, it is about 10%-20% of the tax refund amount. The specific situation also depends on the regulations and business situation of the agent company.

In addition to the common charges, it should be noted that some agents will charge extra fees in the name of various reasons during the operation process. Therefore, before cooperation, it is necessary to ask the agent to clearly list all possible fee items.
