Generally, the agency fee is charged proportionally. However, if the export volume is large, you can also negotiate a fixed fee with the agency company, which may be more cost-effective.

The tax advance fee should be carefully considered. If you can get the tax rebate as soon as possible by yourself, don't let the agent advance it. Otherwise, the interest will also be a not insignificant expense.
