Package submission Suggestions:
1. The weight of the parcel is an important judgment basis for the customs of various countries for civilian and commercial parcels. More than 10kg is more likely to be regarded as a commercial package, so please consider the weight of the package when you submit the waybill. If you choose DHL, you also need to consider the volume of the item (DHL confirms the charge in terms of both the volume and weight of the item).
2. The maximum weight of the parcel is 30kg. If it exceeds 30kg, you can submit the waybill separately, but it is recommended that each waybill not exceed 10kg.
3. Excessive quantity of the same commodity is also the basis for being judged as a commercial parcel. Please try to avoid sending a larger quantity of the same commodity using the same parcel.
4. Of course, as you know, we cannot give you a 100% guarantee as to whether your parcel will be taxed in the end.
Warm reminder:
For purchasing goods, when submitting an order and reviewing, the system will give you a risk warning for your goods. After the goods are sent to our warehouse, we will recommend a less risky mailing method for you according to the attributes of the goods and logistics transportation experience. For some products, there will inevitably be some customs risks (such as small probability of return, confiscation, tax, etc.), which will be borne by you.
An important basis for customs to judge civilian and commercial packages is the weight of the package and the number of items, more than 10KG is regarded as a commercial package probability is relatively large, so when submitting the waybill, please confirm the weight of the package, the same item too much is also regarded as one of the important basis for commercial packages. Therefore, please try to avoid sending a large number of single products in the same package.
In addition, due to the customs policy, food items, please choose carefully.
