CGC: the US fee table is not the Hong Kong invoice
The CGC dollar prices you see online apply to direct US submissions, so do not budget them for a Hong Kong drop-off.
Key points
- The US fee page says those prices cover direct US submissions.
- No HKD table was published on cgccards.hk on 2026-09-01.
- The Hong Kong office takes appointments Monday to Friday.
The US fee page states that those dollars apply to direct US submissions. Hong Kong has its own office, and cgccards.hk carried no HKD table on 2026-09-01. Compare companies on which grader. The PSA walkthrough stays on psa-submit.
US official table (comparison only)
| Tier | Fee | Turnaround |
|---|---|---|
| Bulk | US$17, 25-card minimum | About 150 working days |
| Economy | US$20 | 90 days |
| Standard | US$55 | 10 days |
| Express | US$100 | 5 days |
| WalkThrough | US$300 | 2 days |
Bulk caps declared value at US$500 per card. Associate and Premium members take 10% off, and Elite members take 20% off. The clock starts on the day the cards reach the facility, and every figure is an estimate rather than a promise. International pricing is announced separately.
Official Hong Kong door
The 8 May 2024 note gives the address as CCG International Hong Kong Limited, Suite 1208-10, 12/F, Tower 1, The Gateway, Harbour City, 25 Canton Road, Tsim Sha Tsui. Visits are by appointment, Monday to Friday from 10:00 to 18:00. The phone number is +852 2115 3639 and the email is [email protected].
Proxy shops
HobbyX on 2026-09-01 runs a month-end group submission to the Hong Kong office, listing Bulk at HK$170, Economy at HK$320, and Walk-Through at HK$1,380. Their table shows about 50 days, but CGC’s own clock still starts after intake.
In Taiwan, One Paper lists a card-only service at NT$500 with 30 or more days. Do not paste that number onto a Hong Kong invoice.
FAQ
Can I treat US$17 as the Hong Kong price?
No. The CGC fee page says those dollars apply to direct US submissions only, and no HKD table was published on cgccards.hk on 2026-09-01.
How do I know my cards actually left the shop?
Ask for the shop receipt and a CGC submission number. Without a submission number, nothing has gone out the door.
Do I need an appointment at the Hong Kong office?
Yes. The official note sets appointment-only visits, Monday to Friday from 10:00 to 18:00, at The Gateway in Tsim Sha Tsui.

Look up the printing on CardZ Marketcap before you pay any grading fee. If a surface problem worries you, read card restoration first. For packs, open a pool on Cardz.game.
