Collection of Passenger Fee; Passenger Fee Payment Here;
Explanation:
Agree with Bin Li. If we know how this phrase is used in a sentence, or how the sign is placed, it would be easier to come up with the suggestions. If 乘客is mentioned, that tells me this sign would be placed in Train Station, Bus Station, even Airport. These are what I can think of for now:

Passenger Fee Collection;
Collection of Passenger Fee;
Please Pay Passenger Fee Here;
Passenger Fee Payment Here;
Make Passenger Fee Payment Here;
Passenger Fee Paid Here

Pay at the fee gate


Explanation:
Pay at the fee gate

Will you provide more context for this, such as a few sentences where “上下乘客收费”is found. You mentioned 乘客and上车、下车，and also customs (海关)。Could you further illustrate?

agree  Chinoise: The context is crystal clear, since EVA(the asker) said:"[上下乘客收費」refer in a contract to the charges levied by customs in certain places in Mainland China." Therefore, it should be a noun phrase instead of a verbal phrase or a complete sentence.

Passenger Service Fees.


Explanation:
I have not been to China for many years. But if it is to be customs, it is likely to have the character 税, and if it is ticketing fares, it is likely to have the character 费 or 票. Since the phrase doesn't have these words, I suggest it is probably some form of extra levy to maintain the passenger building/stations, etc.
