Parcel submission tips:

1. The weight of the parcel is the important basis for the customs to judge it as civil parcel or commercial parcel. A 10kg parcel will be more likely to be regarded as a commercial parcel. So please consider the weight of the parcel when you submit it. 

2. Excessive quantity of the same product is also the basis for being judged as a commercial parcel. Please try to avoid sending a large amount of the same product in one parcel.

3. Due to the customs policy, please consider carefully for sending medicines.

If the customs considers your parcel to be special (for example: large in size, too heavy in weight, or contains sensitive items, etc.), the customs will generally take the initiative to contact the recipient to provide invoices or customs clearance documents ( The cost of customs clearance shall be borne by the recipient). The cost of the parcel being returned or destroyed due to the failure to contact the recipient or the recipient’s failure to cooperate with the customs clearance will be borne by the recipient.
