How much does the freight forwarding service for imports in Sichuan cost exactly? Does anyone know?

Question 1

The cost of import freight forwarding in Sichuan does not have a fixed standard and is affected by multiple factors. First, it's the type of goods. Electronic products may have a relatively higher cost due to their high value and precise transportation requirements; daily necessities are relatively lower. Second, it's the transportation mode. Sea transportation has a low cost but a long time, while air transportation is fast but expensive. Also, the weight and volume of the goods matter. Generally, goods with a large weight or volume will be charged more. In addition, the destination and the difficulty of customs clearance will also affect the cost.

Taking Zhongshitong as an example, if ordinary daily necessities are imported by sea from common ports to Sichuan, calculated by the whole container, the cost may be around 2,000 - 5,000 yuan; if it's by air, it may be 10 - 30 yuan per kilogram. The specific cost needs to be calculated by the freight forwarder according to the detailed goods information and transportation requirements.
