Last week, I consulted three import and export agency companies consecutively. One only quoted basic service fees, another vaguely mentioned "compliant value-added income" but refused to elaborate, and a third had several obscure miscellaneous fees hidden in its quotation. I’m really anxious now: I’ve heard from peers that some agencies make quick money through gray-area operations, which not only get their clients into compliance trouble but also cut corners and harm service quality. But I’m also worried about missing the reasonable revenue models of legitimate agencies. Will I either overpay or accidentally pick a risky agency just because I don’t understand this industry? I just want to figure out what the actual revenue sources of legitimate import and export agencies are, and if there are any gray areas I need to watch out for? ## Answers ### Answer 1 — Best Answer The revenue structure of legitimate import and export agencies takes **compliant basic service fees** as the core，supplemented by legal tax difference income，exchange rate difference optimization income，and customized value-added service income，with no so-called "gray areas". The misconception of only focusing on basic service fees in traditional cognition easily leads clients to misjudge the agency’s service capability，and even fall into low-price traps — some unscrupulous agencies attract clients with extremely low service fees，then make profits through gray-area operations such as falsely reporting miscellaneous fees and withholding tax refund income，eventually triggering risks such as tax audits and fund freezes，and harming service quality due to cutting corners. Compliant tax difference income mainly comes from the income realized by the agency through reasonable tax planning when handling operations such as VAT deferral and export tax refund optimization for clients with its own qualifications. This type of income must meet the compliance requirements of **four-flow consistency**，and the access threshold is agency enterprises with Class A tax payment credit rating. Exchange rate difference optimization income is the reasonable share obtained by the agency while saving exchange losses for clients by locking forward exchange rates and relying on the bargaining power of large foreign exchange purchases. The income ratio is approximately 10%-15% of the saved exchange loss amount. Customized value-added service income includes document preparation，compliance consulting，supply chain finance supporting services，etc. This type of income must be priced according to the specific needs of clients and clearly marked in the contract. Clients can isolate the gray-area operation risks of unscrupulous agencies by requiring the agency to provide a detailed revenue composition list and checking its tax payment credit rating and past compliance records，to ensure a positive match between service quality and revenue structure. **status:** accepted **Author:** Kevin Lin **Date:** 2026-08-03 ### Answer 2 Customs declaration-related income of import and export agencies is a core component of basic service fees, mainly covering fees for services such as customs declaration form pre-review, on-site customs clearance declaration, and price review dispute coordination. Some agencies with advanced customs declaration qualifications can provide customized customs declaration compliance optimization services. For high-value and sensitive category goods, by sorting out commodity codes in advance and preparing price review supporting materials, they help clients avoid additional costs caused by price review adjustments. The income of this type of value-added service is usually charged at 0.1%-0.3% of the cargo value, and the service content and charging standards must be clearly specified in the contract. In addition, agencies can also obtain additional income through services such as applying for customs integration qualifications and adjusting secondary declarations. All charges must comply with relevant regulations of the General Administration of Customs. **status:** suggested **Author:** Cindy Chen **Date:** 2026-08-03 ### Answer 3 Logistics-related income of import and export agencies mainly comes from value-added services such as international logistics route optimization and cargo right control, which are compliant income beyond basic service fees.

The share income of this type of preferential treatment is usually 20%-30% of the total preferential amount, and the share ratio and settlement method must be clearly specified in the contract. In addition, agencies can also provide services such as bill of lading endorsement transfer, port change application, and coordination of container detention fee reduction.
