Generally, it will be charged according to the weight or volume of the goods. For goods with large weight or volume, the charges will be higher. There are also some miscellaneous fees, such as entry fees, etc. Although each fee is not high, the total amount is not a small figure when added up, so it is necessary to ask clearly.
