CHINA DOCUMENT PROCESSING SURCHARGE

Caring Hands Services is committed to providing exceptional service at a fair price for our clients. During this difficult time of the COVID-19 pandemic, that process has become increasingly onerous as it pertains to processing documents for use in China. We have had to hire additional staff to deal with the increased requirements of the Chinese Embassy to process documents.

To address this situation, we are instituting a temporary surcharge to the processing of China documents only. Beginning Monday, August 10th, 2020, a $40.00 surcharge will be added to each invoice and listed as a line item on your invoice.

This surcharge will stay in effect until we return to what resembles normal processing. We appreciate your understanding as we all navigate through this difficult time.
