Basic service fee

$3,500

USD 3,500 covers the basic China-side service, excluding freight. It is not a return-export or shipping quotation.

Flexible guide and local coordination

  1. 1.Borders and required sections: on-site assistance with formalities and coordination.
  2. 2.Suitable inland sections: remote coordination, without assuming daily accompaniment.
  3. 3.On-demand assistance: arrange local support and transport when needed.

The port, route and local requirements determine the arrangement; guide-free travel throughout is not guaranteed. Sections such as Xinjiang need individual review. With no passenger seat, support transport and cost need separate confirmation.

Our historical full-time English-speaking guide reference is about USD 170/day, not a current fixed quote. Flexible support is priced for the actual on-site days, travel and any separate vehicle; it is excluded from the basic fee above.

Government/port charges, insurance, deposits, logistics/storage, guide support and personal travel costs are separate where applicable. After payment, save an intake draft, complete each vehicle and your support preferences, and provide requested files through the secure portal.
