The "Charging Method" establishes the charging standard for paternity testing services in the judicial department, which belongs to the price standard of government departments. The provincial price administrative department shall formulate new charging standards and charging standards in our province. The municipal, district and state price bureaus shall not exceed the provincial standards, and define the local actual standards according to the specific provisions.
However, the "Measures for Charging" stipulates that "psychiatric appraisal institutions that have high credit for social development, high appraisal quality and follow the price system may appropriately raise the charging standards upon the application of enterprises and the approval of provincial price administrative departments."
In May, 2003, China relaxed the appraisal business process in DNA paternity, a third-party institution for social development, and the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Justice formulated the Administrative Measures for Judicial Appraisal Fees. Paternity appraisal belongs to the level of forensic material evidence, and the specific price is guided by the government department, and the local government approves the actual charging standard according to the actual situation. Therefore, the charging standards in different regions are different.
