I got one cm used personal books, trying to bring them from Beijing to the US using 海运拼箱 . Here is what i have to pay for
1. 2600 RMB to the company in China side
2. Invoice from US company:
warehouse: 49
handling charge: 75
clean truck fee: 5
pierpass charge: 6
ams: 25
x-ray: 6
customs clearance fee: 100

This is only in the west coast (LA), I would more charges for the transportation and delivery.
