There is no fixed standard for the import agency fee in Mombasa, and it varies due to various factors. First of all, the basic customs declaration fee is generally around several hundred yuan. This is the fee for declaring cargo information to the customs. Secondly, the freight forwarder operation fee includes booking space, document processing, etc., which is probably several hundred to over a thousand yuan. If commodity inspection and quarantine are involved, there will also be corresponding inspection and quarantine fees, which are charged at a certain proportion of the cargo value.
In addition, if freight insurance is required, the insurance premium is calculated according to the cargo value and the types of insurance. If the goods are special, such as oversized items, dangerous goods, etc., additional operation fees will be incurred. Taking ordinary goods as an example, the import agency fee may be around 1%-5% of the cargo value. However, for the specific fee, it is recommended that you find a professional agency company like Zhongshitong. They will give an accurate quotation according to the actual situation of the goods.
