Notes on the order
Weight 27%: filing work in the price. That term separated the top two.
A foreign LLC already spans two states, so a provider covering both came first.
How Hawaii describes the foreign LLC registration fee and rules
Out-of-state LLCs deliver the Application for Certificate of Authority for Foreign Limited Liability Company (Form FLLC-1) to the Hawaii Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs (DCCA), Business Registration Division with $51. Attach original certificate of existence from the jurisdiction of formation dated within 60 days.
If it never registers, expect dismissal of its own claims in Hawaii courts (HRS 414-432(a); 428-1008(a)); back fees on top.

The no-service result
Take the services out and the sum is state fees alone: $76 for three years. Every service stacks its own $397 to $497 on that base.
