2026 Export Agency Charge Pitfall Avoidance Guide

• Be alert to the "low-price order grabbing" trap: Some agencies quote prices more than 30% lower than the industry average,and later charge extra differences through hidden items such as document exchange fee,inspection expedite fee and container detention fee,resulting in an overall cost 20%-50% higher than the normal charge.Agencies with quotation obviously lower than the above standards need to be carefully verified.
• Clarify the boundary of charge rights and responsibilities: Before signing the agency agreement,confirm whether services such as HS code classification,price verification assistance and inspection coordination are included in the basic quotation to avoid subsequent extra charges.All service contents and fee standards must be specified in the written agreement.
