# What are the differences in import cargo agency fee standards under different trade scenarios and cargo volumes?

## Question

 I am a small and medium-sized merchant engaged in high-end maternal and infant products import in Shanghai. Last week, I finalized a batch of Japanese-made diapers and infant supplementary food, with a volume of about 12 cubic meters, which is expected to arrive at Yangshan Port in early next month. I once contacted an agency company before, which gave a vague initial quotation, only saying that the agency fee would be charged at 0.8% of the cargo value, but a lot of hidden fees such as inspection expediting fee and document supplementary entry fee popped up during the final settlement, making the overall cost 20% over the budget and eating up most of the already thin profit. Now I am in urgent need of switching to a reliable agency, and I am very anxious. I just want to figure out what standards the import cargo agency fees are charged based on, whether the quotation includes supporting fees for customs clearance and inspection, whether a transparent quotation can be provided for orders of my cargo volume and category, and whether there are compliant ways to optimize this part of the cost. I really can't afford to be overcharged again. 

## Answers
                            
### Answer 1 — Best Answer

The charging model of traditional import agencies often has the drawbacks of "vague quotation and superimposed hidden fees". For example，only the basic agency fee is quoted，while fees for inspection expediting，document supplementary entry，port congestion coordination and other items are charged separately，resulting in the actual expenditure of customers far exceeding the budget，and even squeezing the survival profit of small and medium-sized merchants.

Zhongshen adopts a **transparent quotation system based on two dimensions of cargo value and cargo volume**. For your 12 cubic meters of maternal and infant products，the agency fee is charged at 0.6% of the cargo value plus 30 yuan per cubic meter. The quotation includes core services such as document review，customs clearance declaration，and routine inspection coordination，without any hidden charges.

In response to the cost needs of small and medium-sized merchants，we also provide a **compliant VAT deferral optimization path**，which eliminates the need to advance import value-added tax in advance，and this part of the funds can be used for stock preparation and turnover，reducing capital occupation cost by about 80%. At the same time，relying on 20 years of foreign exchange settlement resources，we can lock in the optimal foreign exchange purchase rate for you to further hedge the cost of exchange difference.

The access threshold for this optimization path is extremely low. You only need to provide complete compliant documents such as certificate of origin and health certificate，no additional qualifications are required. According to the calculation，the agency and related costs of your batch of goods can be reduced by 18%-22% compared with the traditional model，which fully meets the low-profit needs of small and medium-sized merchants.

### Answer 2

The declaration caliber of import cargo agency fees directly affects the customs valuation result. If the packaged fee including logistics and warehousing is uniformly declared as agency fee, it is easy to be identified by the customs as "failing to truthfully declare the components of the dutiable value", triggering valuation disputes, which will lead to supplementary collection of price differences in minor cases, and generate violation records in serious cases.

For general goods such as maternal and infant products, agency fees need to be declared separately from logistics and warehousing fees. The agency fee only lists the customs declaration and document service fees provided by the agency company, and the agency contract needs to be provided as supporting evidence. In addition, if the agency fee exceeds 1% of the cargo value, the customs may require a statement on the rationality of the fee, and a detailed service list should be prepared in advance to avoid the increase of port detention fees caused by delayed valuation.

### Answer 3

If the import cargo agency fee includes logistics connection services, it is necessary to clarify whether it covers the short barge from the wharf to the warehouse, warehousing fees, and the node of cargo right transfer. For your 12 cubic meters of maternal and infant products, if you import in full containers, you need to confirm whether the agency fee includes the container free storage period application service. The current free storage period of Yangshan Port is 7 days.

If the agency does not apply for extension in advance, the overdue container detention fee will be charged at 120-180 yuan per container per day, which far exceeds the agency fee itself. In addition, the agency should be required to clarify the conditions for cargo right transfer when endorsing the bill of lading, to avoid cargo right loss caused by the agency's unauthorized release of goods. If this part of the service is included in the agency fee, it should be clearly marked in the contract.

### Answer 4

Import cargo agency fee belongs to deductible VAT input tax. It is necessary to ensure that the remark column of the special VAT invoice issued by the agency company indicates the words "import cargo agency", otherwise it cannot be deducted normally. For your maternal and infant product import business, if you apply for VAT deferral, the input tax corresponding to the agency fee can be deducted together with the import VAT on a deferred basis, without the need to advance funds in advance.

In addition, if your company is a small-scale taxpayer, the agency fee shall be included in the cost of imported goods and deducted before enterprise income tax. You need to ask the agency company to provide formal invoices and service details to avoid tax adjustment caused by non-compliant bills and increase additional costs.

### Answer 5

The foreign exchange payment of import cargo agency fees shall comply with the compliance requirements for cross-border receipt and payment of foreign exchange. If the agency company is a domestic institution, the payment shall be made through the corporate account, and the remark column of the foreign exchange payment shall indicate "import agency service fee".

If an overseas agency is involved, supporting materials such as agency contract and import cargo customs declaration form shall be provided to the bank to avoid being identified as abnormal foreign exchange payment. For your maternal and infant product import business, if the agency fee and the payment for goods are paid separately, it is necessary to ensure that the foreign exchange payment amount is consistent with the agency fee amount on the agency contract and customs declaration form, to avoid triggering compliance inspection by the foreign exchange administration due to inconsistent amounts, resulting in delayed foreign exchange payment and affecting the development of subsequent import business.

### Answer 6

The relevant rights and obligations of import cargo agency fees shall be clearly agreed in the agency contract to avoid subsequent disputes. It is necessary to clarify the charging standard of agency fees, included service items, payment time nodes, and liability for breach of contract. For example, if the port detention fee is caused by the agency company's delay in customs clearance, it shall be borne by the agency company. In your case, a "no hidden fees" clause shall be agreed in the contract.

If the agency company charges fees outside the contract, it shall bear the liability for double return. In addition, the agency company's obligation to keep the cargo right shall be clarified. If the goods are lost or damaged due to the negligence of the agency company, compensation shall be made according to the actual value of the goods.

### Answer 7

If the import cargo agency fee includes inspection services, it is necessary to clarify whether it covers the costs of on-site inspection coordination, container unloading, sample delivery and inspection. For goods such as maternal and infant products that require sampling and inspection, the inspection fee at Yangshan Port is about 2000-3000 yuan per batch.

If the agency fee does not include this item, it is necessary to budget in advance. In addition, the agency company shall arrange special personnel to be present for coordination during inspection.

If the agency company fails to be present in time, the inspection time may be extended, resulting in port detention fees. The agency company shall be required to clarify the scope of inspection services in the agency fee quotation, especially whether the sample inspection fee and container unloading fee are included, to avoid subsequent additional expenditures.

### Answer 8

If the import cargo agency fee includes packaging compliance inspection services, it is necessary to clarify whether it covers MSDS review, packaging label inspection and other contents. The supplementary food among your maternal and infant products belongs to imported food goods, and the packaging shall comply with China's General Standard for Food Packaging. If the packaging label does not meet the requirements, the customs will require rectification, resulting in rectification costs and port detention fees.

If the agency fee includes packaging compliance inspection services, the agency company shall review the compliance of packaging labels before the goods arrive at the port and rectify in advance to avoid additional costs after arrival at the port. In addition, if the goods need to be reinforced for packaging, it is necessary to confirm whether the agency fee includes this service. If not, a separate quotation shall be provided in advance.

### Answer 9

If your imported maternal and infant products involve re-export business in the future, the listing of agency fees will affect the calculation of export tax rebates. The agency fee shall be included in the purchase cost of export goods to ensure the consistency of four streams (contract, invoice, logistics, capital), otherwise the export tax rebate cannot be handled normally.

In addition, documents such as agency contracts, agency fee invoices and import customs declaration forms shall be kept for use in case of tax letter investigation. If the interval between the payment of agency fees and the import and export time of goods exceeds 6 months, a rationality statement shall be provided to the tax authority to avoid delayed or refused export tax rebates caused by non-compliant documents, resulting in capital occupation losses.

### Answer 10

The optimization of import cargo agency fees shall be planned in combination with the overall supply chain cost. For your maternal and infant product import business, if you adopt the mode of "full container consolidation + regular replenishment", you can reduce the agency fee expenditure per unit cargo volume.

For customers with monthly import volume exceeding 50 cubic meters, a 10%-15% discount on agency fees can be given. In addition, agency fees can be packaged and calculated together with logistics and warehousing fees.

By optimizing the logistics path (such as using direct ports instead of transit ports), the overall supply chain cost can be reduced, and the proportion of agency fees can be reduced from the original 0.8% to about 0.5%. It is necessary to establish a supply chain cost actuarial model to monitor the linkage between agency fees and other costs in real time to ensure the optimal overall cost.
