Zhangjiajie agency export generally charges fees. The fee standards are usually not fixed and are affected by various factors. For example, the type of goods; if they are ordinary common goods, the agency fees might be relatively lower; if they involve special regulated goods, such as flammable and explosive items, the agency's difficulty increases, and the fees will be higher. Also, the cargo value; for goods with high value, the agency fees might increase proportionally.
In addition, the complexity of the export process also affects the fees. If it only involves conventional services such as customs declaration and booking, the fees are relatively stable; but if additional services like applying for permits and certificates of origin are required, the fees will increase.
Reputable agency companies, such as Zhongmaoda, have transparent fees and no hidden costs. Before cooperation, they will clarify all services and corresponding fee details with you, so you know every expenditure clearly.

Agency export fees are generally charged as a percentage of the cargo value, usually around 1% - 5%, depending on the specific goods. Some also charge per shipment, with fees ranging from a few hundred to over a thousand yuan per shipment, lower for simple goods and higher for complex ones.

Fees are definitely charged, as agency companies need to make a profit. However, some might offer discounts based on business volume, so if you have a large export volume, you might be able to negotiate a good price.

The fees are related to the depth of services provided by the agent. If they only help with customs declaration, the fee is less; if they handle everything, the fee will definitely be more.
