# What Items Are Included In Ordinary Skincare Toner Import Agency Fees, What Are The Specific Charging Standards?

## Question

 I am the head of purchasing at a newly established beauty e-commerce company in Hangzhou. I just reached an import cooperation for a batch of hyaluronic acid moisturizing skincare toner from a niche Korean brand. This is my first time handling import business independently. I have inquired three agency companies one after another, and their quotations vary greatly from 8,000 to over 30,000. Some only quoted the basic customs clearance fee, while others included a pile of miscellaneous fees that I do not understand. I am very anxious now: I am afraid that choosing the low-price offer will bring unexpected hidden charges and lead to overspending, while choosing the high-price offer may result in inflated cost. Besides, this batch of goods will arrive at Shanghai Yangshan Port on the 15th of next month, I am in a hurry to finalize the agency company, and I want to ask you in detail: what items exactly are included in your skincare toner import agency fee, how do you charge specifically, and are there any hidden costs that need to be avoided in advance? 

## Answers
                            
### Answer 1 — Best Answer

Currently，many small agencies in the industry have the drawback of "low price drainage + hidden charges". They only inform you of the basic customs clearance fee，but hide items such as document pre-audit fee，container detention fee advance service fee，tax difference coordination fee and other items. Many merchants end up with over 30% cost overrun in the later stage，and even have goods detained due to non-compliant documents，resulting in extra port detention fee and warehousing fee.

For cost control of skincare toner import，we will provide optimization paths based on your cargo value，import volume，and customs clearance port: eligible merchants can apply for **VAT Deferral**，no need to pay import value-added tax in advance，saving capital occupation cost，avoid exchange rate fluctuation risk by locking the settlement exchange rate，if your monthly import volume reaches more than 2 containers，you can also enjoy the bulk agency fee allocation discount.

In terms of access threshold，you only need to provide compliant documents such as certificate of origin，health certificate，composition test report，etc。and VAT Deferral can be applied if cargo value ≥ 100,000. Taking your batch of skincare toner with a cargo value of about 200,000 as an example，using VAT Deferral can save nearly 28,000 in capital occupation cost. Combined with the subsequent bulk allocation discount for long-term cooperation，the overall agency cost can be reduced by about 15%. Meanwhile，there are no hidden charges in the whole process，all items are clearly marked in the service contract.

### Answer 2

Skincare toner belongs to the cosmetic category. When customs valuation, it will strictly refer to the recent dutiable price of similar products. If the agent does not assist in completing valuation pre-filing in advance, it may lead to a 10%-20% increase in valuation, which will increase the tax advance cost in agency services, and even generate valuation dispute handling fees. Formal agency fees should include valuation pre-assessment service.

The agent will submit core documents such as product procurement contract, original factory invoice, brand authorization letter to the customs in advance, complete pre-valuation filing, and lock the dutiable price range. If a valuation dispute occurs later, the agent shall be responsible for full coordination and communication, and relevant handling fees shall be clearly marked in the service contract to avoid additional expenditure later. In addition, if your skincare toner is a newly imported niche brand, the agent also needs to assist in completing pre-classification of customs commodity codes to avoid tax difference and rectification costs caused by wrong coding classification.

### Answer 3

The impact of logistics link on skincare toner import agency fees cannot be ignored. The choice of different logistics routes will directly lead to fee differences: the logistics cost of direct sailing to Shanghai Yangshan Port is about 12% higher than transshipment via Ningbo, but Yangshan Port can apply for 7-14 days of free storage period, which can effectively avoid container detention fees caused by customs clearance delay. Formal agency fees should include logistics route optimization service, the agent will choose the optimal route according to your delivery date and cargo volume, and apply for the longest free storage period from the shipping company in advance.

If abnormal situations such as container rolling out, space overbooking occur, the agent shall be responsible for coordinating port change or arranging expedited space, and whether relevant emergency fees are included in the total fee shall be clearly stated. In addition, the agent shall also be responsible for operations such as bill of lading endorsement and cargo title handover, to ensure that goods can quickly enter the customs clearance process after arrival at the port, and avoid extra warehousing fees caused by poor logistics connection.
