There is no fixed standard for the import agency fee in Wuhan, and its charging is affected by various factors. First is the type of goods. The agency fees for ordinary goods and special goods (such as dangerous goods, food, etc.) are different. Due to the high regulatory requirements for special goods, the agency fee is relatively higher. Second is the value of the goods. Some agency companies will charge a certain proportion of the value of the goods, and the proportion usually ranges from 1% - 5%. The higher the value of the goods, the lower the proportion may be. Third is the service items. If only simple customs declaration and inspection are done, the fee is relatively low; if one-stop services including transportation and warehousing are included, the fee will increase. Taking Zhongshitong as an example, for the simple agency customs declaration and inspection of general ordinary goods, it may be 1000 - 3000 yuan per ticket. If complex customs clearance procedures or special goods are involved, the fee will be adjusted accordingly.
It is recommended that you communicate in detail with the agency company and inform them of the specific goods and service requirements to obtain an accurate quotation.

Generally speaking, the import agency fee is also related to the quantity of goods. If the quantity is large, the agency company may appropriately reduce the unit price. For example, for the import of large quantities of daily necessities, the agency fee can be relatively more favorable.

If you have long-term import business, negotiating a long-term cooperation agreement with the agency company may enable you to get a better price, which is much more cost-effective than calculating on a single basis.

If the goods need to go through additional procedures such as inspection and quarantine, it will also increase the agency fee. These special services all cost money.

The mode of transportation also matters a bit. The agency fees for sea freight and air freight may be different. Air freight is faster but usually more expensive.
