Government Fees
China abolished company registration fees on 1 April 2017, so there is no government charge to incorporate. What remains is passed through at cost with receipts: notarisation and Apostille official charges (CN¥50–100 per document), chop carving where the city does not provide one free, and per-class trademark fees.
