In this paper, we study the boundedness of multilinear commutators of Hardy-Littlewood maximal operators in variable exponent Herz and Herz-Morrey spaces, which in turn are used to obtain the boundedness for a large class of the multilinear commutators related to sublinear operators. Moreover, based on the atomic decomposition and on generalization of the BMO norm, we study the boundedness of multilinear commutators of singular integral operators with Calderon-Zygmund kernels in variable exponent Herz-type Hardy spaces.
