The charging differences in different regions are also quite large. The developed coastal ports have fierce competition, and the charges are relatively transparent and reasonable; some inland ports may have slightly higher charges due to less business volume. In addition, the complexity of the goods also affects the charges. For example, the customs declaration of dangerous goods is more expensive than that of ordinary goods.
