First, charge according to a certain proportion of the order amount. The proportion range is roughly around 1% - 5%. The specific proportion will be adjusted according to factors such as commodity categories and trade risks. For example, the proportion for the export agency of common daily necessities may be slightly lower, while for some high-value and high-risk electronic products, etc., the proportion may be higher.
Second, charge per ticket. For some situations where the business is relatively simple and the order amount is small, some agents will adopt this method. Generally, the charge for one ticket ranges from 800 to 2000 yuan.
Third, charge according to the complexity of the agency business. If it involves handling special documents, negotiating complex trade terms, etc., the charge will increase accordingly.

In addition, some agents will also charge a certain service management fee. In short, specific charges need to be communicated in detail with the agency company and determined according to one's own business situation.
