Service & Clearance Notes

  • Most lanes are dual-clearance, duty-paid (warehouse-to-warehouse); some destinations are duty-paid without a tax receipt provided.
  • Several destinations are self-pickup at the destination warehouse.
  • Guangzhou and Hong Kong channels are priced the same on many lanes; sensitive and branded goods route via Hong Kong.
  • General cargo is the standard; sensitive and branded goods require review.

Restricted Items — Prior Review Required

  • Sensitive goods and branded goods (route via Hong Kong; review required)
  • Powders are not accepted; food, medicine, and epidemic-prevention supplies require review
  • Building materials can carry high duty — confirm clearance feasibility first
  • Goods declared over 1,000 USD on certain lanes require review
  • Branded goods and items bearing medical markings may be declined on some lanes
  • High-value goods require review

Documents

  • Provide a packing list and commercial invoice; certain lanes require them for separate (non-consolidated) shipments.
  • Some lanes quote duty-paid but exclude tax — a packing list and invoice are required and tax handling is reviewed per shipment.
