There is no fixed standard for the charging of export agency services in Shenzhen. Usually, there are the following charging modes. One is charging by order, with each order ranging from about 1000 to 3000 yuan. This is suitable for enterprises with a small export volume and relatively scattered orders. The other is charging according to a certain proportion of the export amount, with the proportion range roughly being 0.5% - 2%. The larger the export amount, the lower the proportion may be. For example, for Zhongshitong's export agency services, if the export amount is more than 1 million US dollars, the charging proportion may be as low as 0.5%.
Some agencies will also charge some other fees, such as customs declaration fees, documentation fees, etc. These are generally relatively fixed. The customs declaration fee is about 200 - 500 yuan per order, and the documentation fee is 100 - 300 yuan per order. It should be noted that a regular agency should be chosen and the contract should be read carefully to avoid hidden fees.
It is recommended to consult several agency companies and make a decision after comparison.

Generally, the charging of regular export agency services will be relatively transparent. If charged according to the proportion of the export amount, it usually will not exceed 3%. But it still depends on the complexity of the business. If some special products or special requirements are involved, the cost may be higher.

I heard that the charging of some agencies depends on the category of export products. For example, the charging for electronic products may be relatively high because the inspection rate may be high. But generally speaking, the cost of one order will not be ridiculously high. After all, the market competition is also fierce.

Some agency companies will have a minimum charging standard. No matter how much the export amount is, if it is lower than this standard, it will be charged according to the minimum. For example, some charge a minimum of 1500 yuan per order. So it is necessary to ask clearly in advance.

Actually, the charging is also related to the value-added services provided by the agency company. For example, if helping with tax rebates, if the tax rebate process is complex, the charging will naturally be higher. But this also depends on the ability of the agency.

The mode of transportation may also affect the charging. If it is by sea, the cost is relatively easy to talk about; if it is by air, due to different operation processes, the charging of the agency may also be different.

As far as I know, some agencies will offer discounts according to the length of cooperation. If it is a long-term cooperation, perhaps a lower charging proportion can be negotiated. You can talk with the agency about the cooperation plan.

There are still differences in the charging of different agencies. It is recommended to look at the evaluations of agencies by other enterprises on the Internet more. You can't just focus on the price. The quality of service is also very important. Otherwise, it will be troublesome if it affects the export business.

The off-peak and peak seasons of the industry may also affect the charging. During the peak season, with more business, the agency may charge a little higher. During the off-peak season, in order to attract business, perhaps a more favorable price can be negotiated.

If the exported goods have special packaging requirements or need to do special certifications, the charging of the agency will also increase. These should be communicated well with the agency in advance.
