There is no fixed standard for the charges of export agents in Nanjing. There are two common charging methods.
One is to charge according to the proportion of the export amount, and the usual proportion is around 0.5% - 3%. This proportion will be affected by various factors, such as the type of product. If it is a product with high added value and complicated procedures, the charging proportion may be higher; also the business volume. If the business volume is large, the proportion may be appropriately reduced.
The other is to charge per order, and the charge per order is roughly between 1,000 - 5,000 yuan. This method is suitable for situations where the business volume is small and the amount of each order varies greatly. For example, if there is an occasional order with a small amount but complicated procedures, it is more appropriate to charge per order. In addition, some agents may also charge some miscellaneous fees, such as document fees, handling fees, etc. For the specific charges, it is recommended that you find several agencies like Zhongshitong, get quotes after detailed communication about the business details, and then compare and choose.

The charging method also depends on the specific business situation. If the export process is simple and there are no special requirements for the products, the proportionate charge may be lower, probably around 1%. The charge per order may be 1,000 - 2,000 yuan.

I heard that some agents will charge according to the export destination. For regions with high requirements such as Europe and the United States, the charges will be higher than those in other regions. The proportion may reach 2% - 3%.

If it is a long-term cooperation, the agent may give discounts. The proportionate charge may be negotiated to 0.5% - 1%. The specific situation still depends on the negotiation.

If the quantity of goods is large, it is more cost-effective to charge according to the proportion. But if the amount is small, it may be more appropriate to charge per order. It still needs to be considered comprehensively.
