Important Pre-Shipment Information for China

Before sending a parcel to China, it's essential to check the Chinese Customs regulations to ensure your shipment won't face any delays. All parcels to China must pass through customs, but with Megway Parcels, you’ll receive all the necessary documentation to ensure smooth border crossing.

To avoid delays, it's advisable to avoid shipping on weekends (Saturday and Sunday) and Chinese national holidays to ensure timely delivery.

Navigating Chinese Customs and Charges

Clearing customs can be straightforward if you provide the correct documentation, avoid prohibited items, and pay any required taxes and duties. Shipments to China are duty and tax-free if the value is less than ¥500 (about £58*) or if it’s a gift worth less than ¥1000 (about £116*). Shipments valued over ¥1000 will require formal customs clearance, which can take longer, so factor this into your delivery schedule.

The amount of duty and taxes you’ll need to pay depends on the item being shipped, its value, and whether the shipment is from a business or an individual.

Though it might seem complex, booking your postage to China with Megway Parcels ensures you’ll receive all necessary documents, and our couriers can clarify any potential charges.
