Orders shipped internationally from China typically require the buyer's involvement in the customs clearance process. Local customs authorities assess the goods and determine any applicable duties or taxes before release.

Import duties and taxes may apply depending on your country's regulations, the declared value of the shipment, and any relevant trade agreements. Please consult your local customs authority or logistics provider for the specific charges that may apply to your order.

Documentation You May Need

To facilitate customs clearance, buyers are often required to submit specific documentation or identification numbers. Common examples include:

  • United States: Individual or business customers may need to provide an Employer Identification Number (EIN) or complete a CBP Form 5106.
  • European Union: Corporate buyers are usually required to provide a valid EORI (Economic Operators Registration and Identification) number.

Import regulations and required documents vary by country and by the nature of the goods. We recommend confirming the specific requirements with your local customs office or chosen logistics provider before placing your order.

If You Do Not Have Import Experience

If you are unfamiliar with import procedures or do not hold the necessary import rights, we recommend engaging a licensed customs broker or freight forwarder in your country. They can act as your agent, handle the required paperwork, and clear the goods through customs on your behalf, helping to ensure a smooth delivery process.
