Solved#Export agent#
I have a batch of goods to be exported through an agency in Qingdao and want to know about the approximate cost. I don't know what items the agency export fees include and what the charging standards are. Is it charged according to the proportion of the goods value or is there a fixed charging amount? Also, will there be some hidden fees? I hope friends who know can tell me in detail so that I can have a clear idea and make a budget in advance.

Generally, there is no fixed standard for the agency export fees in Qingdao. It is affected by various factors. First, the basic agency fee is generally charged at a certain proportion of the value of the exported goods, and the proportion is probably between 0.5% - 3%. For example, if the export value is 1 million yuan, the agency fee charged at 1% is 10,000 yuan.
Secondly, the handling fee covers operations such as customs declaration and booking, and it is probably between 300 - 800 yuan per ticket. If some special services are involved, such as the handling of the certificate of origin, it is generally 100 - 200 yuan per copy. In addition, there may be document fees, telex release fees, etc., each costing dozens to hundreds of yuan.
When looking for an agency, choose a regular one like Zhongshitong with a good reputation. Generally, there will be no hidden fees. Before signing the contract, be sure to clarify all charges to avoid disputes later.

Sometimes, warehousing fees will be involved. If the goods are stored in the warehouse for a long time, the fees will be higher, calculated by the day or by volume and weight.

In fact, the proportion of the agency fee can be negotiated with the agency company. If there is long - term cooperation or the goods value is large, the agency company may reduce the proportion.
