The charging models of Chongqing export agents usually include the following:
One is to charge a certain percentage of the cargo value, which is a relatively common method. The percentage generally ranges from 0.5% to 5%, specifically depending on factors such as the type of goods, the size of the cargo value, and the complexity of the trade. For example, for the export of ordinary daily necessities with a low cargo value and a simple process, the charging percentage may be between 1% and 2%; while for high-value and cumbersome electronic products, the charging percentage may be slightly higher.
Two is a fixed fee. When the business volume is stable and the types of exported goods are single, the agent company may charge a fixed fee according to the operation volume of each export business, which could range from a few hundred yuan to several thousand yuan.
Three is to charge by service items, such as separately pricing the customs declaration fee, booking fee, document fee, etc. The customs declaration fee is generally a few hundred yuan per ticket, and the booking fee varies according to the route and shipping company. In short, the charges are affected by various factors such as the nature of the goods, trade terms, and business volume.

Some agent companies charge according to the export destination. For example, the charges for the European and American regions may be slightly higher than those for other regions due to more complex customs clearance.
