Every time I receive a quotation sheet from a customs clearance agent, I always have the illusion of ordering at a German beer festival. The items with clearly marked prices are easy to understand, but those charging items marked with professional terms are like untranslated German dish names on the wine list, which make people confused. Today, with twenty years of practical experience, we will help you analyze this special menu.

Last year, I handled a dispute over Belgian craft beer for a client. The original quotation of 60,000 yuan eventually cost 92,000 yuan. The problem lies in these hidden items:

Project | Quotation from Agent A | Quotation from Agent B | Actual Expenditure |
---|---|---|---|
Basic Customs Declaration Fee | CNY 4,800 | CNY 6,200 | CNY 6,200 |
Handling of Sudden Inspections | Not Specified | Including 3 Inspections | Save CNY 3,500 |
Modification of Chinese Labels | CNY 800 per Time | Free Modification for 3 Times | Save CNY 2,400 |
Finally, a reminder to all importer friends: Once, a customer chose a low - priced agent, resulting in a full container of beer being detained at the port, incurring an overdue fee of CNY 120,000. Remember this saying from an old customs declarant: Leave professional matters to professionals. What you save is not only money, but also time and opportunities.,
