First, agency fees. Zhongshitong usually charges according to a certain proportion of the goods value, and the proportion is mostly 1% - 3%. The specific amount is negotiated according to the complexity of the business, etc.
Second, customs declaration fees. The customs declaration fee for one bill of goods is about 300 - 800 yuan, and there may be differences in different ports.
Third, inspection declaration fees, which are about 0.15% of the goods value.
