1. What items can be sent?


Ordinary goods: daily necessities such as clothes, shoes, bags, and books can be sent directly. Remember, if it is a branded product, you may need to go through a special sensitive channel.


Electronic equipment: mobile phones, Bluetooth headsets, household appliances, etc. can also be sent, but it is best to confirm with the logistics company before shipment, because some routes have restrictions on the power of electrical appliances.


Beauty and skin care: Skin care products and cosmetics need to be commercially packaged, and the volume of a single package will also be limited, just follow the route requirements.


Food and medicine: Generally, puffed food, dried meat, dried fruit, tea, condiments, etc. can be sent, but medicines need to have the original packaging box and instructions.


Sensitive goods: Snacks, condiments, common medicines, liquids and powders in cosmetics are all sensitive goods and require special attention in channel selection.

2. How to choose the mailing route?


Small and light packages: If the goods are small and light (within 21KG), EMS charges by weight, and it is very advantageous when the single side does not exceed 60CM.


Sensitive products: EMS has fewer restrictions on sensitive products, but you need to pay attention to the consequences of returns and customs detention. However, international express delivery such as DHL has strict restrictions on sensitive products and needs to be carefully selected.


Specific countries: For small parcels sent to Japan and Australia, EMS has a relatively advantageous price and fast delivery. For countries with strict customs clearance such as Brazil and Russia, EMS is slow but has a low return rate.


Large and heavy goods: For heavier goods (over 100KG), FEDEX, UPS and TNT have more advantages in price.
