CAN I SEND ANYTHING IN A PARCEL TO CHINA?

My Parcel Delivery have a helpful guide to all the restricted and prohibited items that couriers in the UK won’t accept. On top of the prohibited and restricted items list, China has some extra restrictions on what you can and can’t send. The list of items you can’t send to China include anything marked as ‘Made in China’, powdered baby milk, certain medications, and more. They also don’t allow materials that promote political opinions so always check your items are ok to send.If you’re sending anything electronic, such as a mobile phone or laptop, the person you’re it posting to will need to provide a China Compulsory Certification from the China Inspection and Quarantine Service – however the electrical items may be exempt if they are classed as your personal effects. The Chinese authorities regularly update their laws so the rules are subject to change. It’s worth contacting Chinese customs or HMRC who’ll have all the up to date information you’ll need before sending parcels to China from the UK.

If you're sending a parcel to China with DPD, there are also some additional restrictions, find out more on our DPD Air page.

ARE THERE ANY CUSTOMS CHARGES WHEN YOU SEND A PARCEL TO CHINA?

When you send a parcel to China from the UK, there are sometimes extra customs fees that need to be paid. If you’re only sending small gifts or souvenirs to China, you’ll usually be OK as long as they value less than ¥250 (about £25). Most items incur a VAT rate of 17%, but some things you send may qualify for the lower 12% band or even go through for free. As always, it’s best to check with Chinese customs and HMRC before you send.Before you send anything, you’ll need to fill out something called a pro-forma invoice and attached this to the outside of your parcel in an envelope. This tells the Chinese customs officials what’s in your parcel and help it to fly through as quickly as possible. My Parcel Delivery supply you with all the forms whenever you book parcel delivery to China with us, to make it that little bit easier. Just make sure you print out 5 copies of your completed pro-forma invoice, pop them in an envelope and attach that to the outside of your parcel. This is so the customs officials in the UK and China can get to it easily and won’t need to open and close your parcel.
