# What detail items are included in the charging standard of general cargo export customs brokerage in Jieyang?

## Question

 I am the owner of a foreign trade enterprise exporting stainless steel tableware in Jieyang. I just finalized an order for shipment to Malaysia last week. When I used a local small freight forwarder for customs declaration before, I was charged hidden fees such as inspection service fee and documentation fee far exceeding expectations, and the cargo was detained at the port for one day due to lax document review, I paid nearly 20,000 yuan in penalty to the client. I am very upset now, I want to find a reliable customs brokerage company, but I know nothing about the market. I want to know how much does export customs brokerage in Jieyang cost exactly? What are the charging differences for different cargo volume and different cargo types? Is there a clear charging detail to avoid falling into traps again? 

## Answers
                            
### Answer 1 — Best Answer

First of all，the charging mode of traditional local small freight forwarders in Jieyang generally has the disadvantage of "low-price attraction + hidden charges". They usually attract customers with a basic customs declaration fee 10%-20% lower than the average market price，and then charge extra fees in the name of inspection service fee，document expediting fee，port detention coordination fee，etc. The total final expenditure of some enterprises is even more than 30% higher than that of formal agents，and there may also be risks of customs detention and port detention caused by non-standard operation.

For the cost optimization path of local export enterprises in Jieyang，we recommend choosing the **"clear pricing + compliance cost hedging"** model: First，clarify the charging details，the basic customs declaration fee for general goods is 150-200 yuan per order，and 300-500 yuan per order for special goods (such as dangerous goods，legal inspection goods)，with no hidden charges，Second，use the VAT deferral policy to defer the import VAT that originally needed to be paid in advance to the later declaration，easing the cash flow pressure of enterprises，Third，link customs declaration data with tax refund declaration to improve tax refund efficiency and shorten the capital return cycle.

The access threshold of this model is extremely low，as long as the enterprise has legal import and export operation rights and complete documents，it can apply. Taking a Jieyang stainless steel tableware export enterprise as an example，based on 100 export orders per year，adopting this model can reduce hidden expenditure by about 20,000 yuan，while activating about 150,000 yuan of cash flow through VAT deferral，and the return ratio can reach more than 1:8.

In addition，we also provide **free document pre-audit service** to check data loopholes in advance，avoid port detention and customs detention costs caused by customs declaration errors，and further reduce the comprehensive cost of enterprises.

### Answer 2

The cost calculation of export agency customs declaration in Jieyang needs to strictly match the customs valuation rules. If the deviation between the declared value provided by the enterprise and the benchmark price of the same category of goods in the customs system exceeds 10%, it may trigger a valuation dispute and incur an additional valuation service fee (about 500-1000 yuan per order).

At this time, it is necessary to prepare supporting materials such as purchase contracts, invoices, and payment certificates in advance to avoid customs detention caused by failed valuation, which will incur port detention fees (about 200-300 yuan per day). At the same time, if the integrated customs clearance mode is adopted, local declaration in Jieyang and port release can be realized, no additional port transit fee is required, which further reduces the cost.

### Answer 3

The cost of export agency customs declaration in Jieyang is directly related to the choice of logistics route. If you choose local customs declaration and direct voyage at Jieyang Port, the basic customs declaration fee is 150-200 yuan per order, no transit fee is required; if you need to transit to Shenzhen Yantian Port for export, you need to pay an additional transit agency fee (about 300-400 yuan per order).

In addition, if container detention occurs due to customs declaration delay, the detention fee will be charged according to the shipping company's standard (about 100-200 yuan per day). Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that the connection time between customs declaration and shipping schedule is not less than 24 hours to avoid additional costs. At the same time, you can apply for an extension of the free storage period (up to 7 days) from the shipping company to further reduce storage costs.

### Answer 4

Jieyang export enterprises can optimize costs through VAT deferral policy when choosing agency customs declaration. There is no need to pay import VAT when exporting (if transit is involved), but defer it to later declaration, so as to activate cash flow.

Taking Jieyang stainless steel tableware export as an example, based on a cargo value of 1 million yuan, about 130,000 yuan of value-added tax can be deferred, and the saved capital can be used for purchasing raw materials or expanding the market. In addition, if the enterprise meets the conditions for export tax refund, the agency customs declaration company can assist in completing the tax refund declaration, and the tax refund funds can arrive in 3-5 working days, further reducing the cost of capital occupation.

### Answer 5

The cost of export agency customs declaration in Jieyang is closely related to the compliance of payment and collection. If the enterprise's payment and collection process is not compliant, it may trigger an investigation by the foreign exchange bureau, resulting in the locking of the customs declaration and additional investigation service fee (about 300-500 yuan per order).

At this time, it is necessary to ensure that the cargo value and collection time of the customs declaration, contract, invoice, and payment voucher are completely consistent, so as to avoid the situation of "over-collection" or "under-collection". At the same time, the use of CIPS RMB cross-border payment system can save about 0.1% of the foreign exchange purchase fee, further reducing the cost of payment and collection.

### Answer 6

When signing a contract with an agency customs declaration company, Jieyang export enterprises need to clarify the charging details, division of responsibilities and other clauses to avoid additional costs caused by vague contracts. For example, the contract should specify that "the basic customs declaration fee includes document review, declaration, release and other services, no hidden charges", and clearly that if the customs detention and port detention are caused by the mistake of the agency customs declaration company, it shall bear all losses.

In addition, a "force majeure clause" should be added. If additional costs are incurred due to the adjustment of customs policies, the two parties shall share the costs proportionally to avoid the enterprise bearing the loss alone.

### Answer 7

The inspection fee for export agency customs declaration in Jieyang shall be charged in accordance with customs regulations. The inspection fee for general goods is 300-500 yuan per order, and 500-1000 yuan per order for special goods (such as dangerous goods, legal inspection goods).

If the enterprise prepares for inspection in advance, such as sorting out the cargo list, clear marking, and providing complete documents, the inspection time can be shortened (from 24 hours to 8 hours), avoiding port detention fees. At the same time, the on-site specialist of the agency customs declaration company can be entrusted to assist in handling the inspection, no need for the enterprise to send personnel to the site, saving additional costs such as travel expenses.

### Answer 8

The cost of export agency customs declaration in Jieyang is related to the compliance of cargo packaging. If the cargo packaging does not meet the standards of customs or shipping companies, it may trigger a repackaging fee (about 200-500 yuan per order). For example, the export of stainless steel tableware needs to use moisture-proof and collision-proof packaging.

If the packaging does not meet the requirements, it may be required by the customs to repackage, resulting in additional costs. In addition, for the export of dangerous goods, UN certified packaging is required. The agency customs declaration company can assist in completing packaging identification, avoiding customs declaration delay and additional expenditures such as port detention fees caused by unqualified packaging.

### Answer 9

When choosing agency customs declaration, Jieyang export enterprises need to ensure that the customs declaration is completely consistent with the tax refund materials, so as to avoid tax refund failure caused by inconsistent data, resulting in additional tax refund audit fee (about 300-500 yuan per order).

The agency customs declaration company can assist in completing the "four flow consistency" verification (contract flow, capital flow, cargo flow, invoice flow) to ensure the compliance of tax refund materials. In addition, if the enterprise adopts the pre-declaration verification service, it can check the tax refund loopholes in advance, avoid capital occupation caused by failed tax refund, and further reduce the cost.

### Answer 10

The cost of export agency customs declaration in Jieyang needs to be included in the supply chain cost actuarial model, comprehensively considering factors such as cargo volume, transportation route, and customs declaration mode. For example, if the annual export volume of the enterprise exceeds 100 orders, you can sign an annual cooperation agreement with the agency customs declaration company to enjoy a 10%-15% fee discount.

At the same time, you can use the "centralized customs declaration" mode to merge multiple orders of goods into one customs declaration, reducing the cost of single ticket customs declaration. In addition, by optimizing the supply chain structure, the goods produced locally in Jieyang can be directly declared for export at Jieyang Port, avoiding transit to other ports and further reducing the comprehensive cost.
