In Shandong, there are foreign trade import businesses, and I want to know the market price of Shandong foreign trade import agency fees, and I am worried about being ripped off. The best answer states that there is no fixed standard for Shandong foreign trade import agency fees, and it is common to charge 0.5% - 3% of the cargo value, or charge by the ticket, which is 2000 - 5000 yuan per ticket, and there may be additional fees such as customs declaration fees. The specific details need to be negotiated with the agency company.

A company engaged an agent for export customs declaration services and had doubts about the payment recipient, asking whether the company itself or the agent should collect the payment, as well as related regulations and precautions. The best answer stated that for pure agent customs declaration, the principal party should collect the payment; if the agent is also involved in trade agency, the agent might collect the payment. The key is to specify this clearly in the agency agreement, and payment collection must comply with foreign exchange management regulations to avoid risks.

The company plans to engage in agency export business and wants to know whether the principal or the agent is responsible for handling export taxes. The best answer states that if the agent declares customs on behalf of the principal, the principal usually handles it; if the agent declares customs in their own name and assumes sales responsibility, the agent handles it. Additionally, different trade models, tax types, and local tax authority requirements vary, and clarification from local tax authorities is necessary.
