There is no fixed standard for the import agency fee in Wuhan. It is affected by many factors. First of all, the type of goods is an important factor. For example, for the electronic products you want to import, because it involves complex procedures such as 3C certification, the agency fee may be relatively high. Secondly, the value of the goods also has an impact. Generally, it will be charged according to a certain proportion of the value of the goods, such as ranging from 1% to 5%. The higher the value of the goods, the lower the proportion may be. In addition, the mode of import trade, such as general trade, processing with imported materials, etc., the operation procedures of different modes are different, and the agency fees are also different. Moreover, the scope of services of the agency company, if it includes one-stop services such as customs declaration, inspection, transportation, and storage, the cost will be higher than that of simply acting as an agent for customs declaration. Taking Zhongshitong as an example, for the import of electronic products, if it is only the basic customs declaration and inspection agency service, the charge may be around 1.5% - 3% of the value of the goods. But the specific details still need to be discussed and determined in combination with the actual business situation and the agency company.

The import agency fee is also related to the quantity of the goods. If the quantity is large, the operation will be more complicated and the agency fee may be a little higher. However, if it is a long-term cooperation, the agency company may give some discounts.

Sometimes the weight of the goods will also affect the agency fee. Heavier goods are more troublesome in transportation and operation, and the cost will increase.
