The charging of Xiamen export agents usually has multiple modes. A common one is to charge proportionally based on the goods value, and the general proportion is between 0.5% and 3%. The higher the goods value, the relatively lower the proportion may be. For example, if the goods value is more than 1 million US dollars, the charging proportion may be within 1%; for 100,000 - 1 million US dollars, the proportion may be between 1% and 2%; for less than 100,000 US dollars, it may reach 2% - 3%.
There is also a way of charging by ticket, with each ticket costing about 800 - 3000 yuan. This method is suitable for situations where the goods value is low but the documents are complex or the business volume is small but the frequency is high. In addition, some agents may charge additional fees such as customs declaration fees and documentation fees. The customs declaration fee is usually 300 - 800 yuan per ticket, and the documentation fee is 100 - 300 yuan per copy. Charges do vary with different business volumes. When the business volume is large, the agent may offer certain discounts. When choosing an agent, it is recommended to compare multiple ones and understand the charging details thoroughly. For example, Zhongshitong will give a clear and reasonable quotation according to the specific business situation.

The agent I found before seemed to have a more flexible charging method. Besides charging according to the proportion of the goods value, it would also consider the type of exported products. If they are products that require special certifications or supervision, the charge will be a little higher.
