Mainland China Airmail takes 7-15 working days to reach from the date of posting.

Mainland China Surface Mail takes 30-45 working days to reach from the date of vessel departure.

The estimated arrival days do not include security check, customs inspection and customs custody days; the arrival days refer to the dispatch time to major cities, and additional transit days are required for suburban or remote areas.

The sender shall confirm the import regulations of the Mainland area before sending his/her shipment. If the shipment fails to comply with the regulations and is detained or subject to import duties or prohibited by the Mainland Customs, it will be the responsibility of the sender and the postage will not be refunded.

To cooperate with the mainland's system to send customs declaration by SMS and delivery contact, the recipient's phone number should be filled in to receive SMS and keep the communication smooth, please minimize giving the fixed telephone number (landline number).

Please do not post fragile items (such as glass, porcelain, etc.), if you insist on posting them, the responsibility for any damage will be yours.

Customs Regulations for Mailing to the Mainland Area

1. The Mainland Customs' inspection of the contents of imported mail is based on the principle of "individual's reasonable personal use".
2. The upper range value of mail sent to the Mainland area is limited to RMB 800 per shipment (i.e. the duty-paid value of the contents). However, this limit is not a criterion for the determination of duty-free. If the declared value is not truthful or exceeds the above limit, the sender shall be responsible for any taxable or returnable item as assessed by the Mainland Customs.
3. Any personal belonging imported into the Mainland area may be subject to customs duty. For the mail item that generates customs duty, the mail item will be released for delivery by the Mainland Customs after the duty has been paid.
4. Following the results of the Mainland Customs' inspection, if the mailpiece needs to be declared, taxed or shipped back to the sender, the Mainland's Postal Administration will notify by SMS or issue a Customs Declaration Notice, the period of retention of the mailpiece by the Mainland Customs varies from 15 days to 3 months (the actual situation depends on the local customs regulations). If the sender/receiver fails to comply with the notification, the mailpiece will be sent back to the sender, which will take 1 week by air and 1 month by surface transportation. The actual transportation return period of the mailpiece depends on the transportation arrangement of the Mainland's Postal Administration and has nothing to do with the committed delivery time of our Company.
5. When the mail is requested to be returned or goes through the import customs clearance by the Mainland Customs, the "recipient" must declare and present a copy of his/her identity document (if the recipient is a company, an application form with the company's large and small seals must be submitted separately) before the relevant procedures can be completed. Please note that if the mailpiece is returned by customs, the postage paid will not be refunded.
