How to make a quote?

To obtain reliable quotes, especially in China, all the information should be checked:

• The postcode in China is made up of 6 digits – check that the postcode entered exists in China. Some carriers are able to offer services even if the basic information is incorrect, knowing that not all carriers do this, especially DHL which expects a correct postal code.

Example of a correct postal code in China: 100022

Example of an incorrect postal code: CN 100022

•  Weight and dimensions must be real
  For the estimate to be correct, it is absolutely necessary that the parcel be weighed to the nearest gram and that the dimensions be measured to the nearest millimeter.

The transport of goods by express is highly regulated

Regarding express parcel shipments, the carriers detail in their general conditions of sale (GTC), an exhaustive list of goods prohibited or subject to special conditions.

As a general rule when you ship by express, your package must not contain valuables (works of art, jewellery, etc.) or cash. 

It is also forbidden to transport animals and plants. Alcoholic beverages, foodstuffs, and other items are also prohibited or highly regulated.

Perfume samples, flammable liquids etc. may only be authorized under certain conditions.

Comply with customs procedures for a shipment to China

For shipments of samples, you must complete a pro forma invoice in duplicate. Indicate the cost of manufacturing the goods as the value.

For commercial shipments you must complete a commercial invoice in duplicate. Indicate the selling price of the goods as the value. For more information see our article on "Completing Commercial Invoices correctly».

Respect the mandatory information to put in your pro forma or commercial invoice for a shipment to China:

•  Full address of sender and recipient
• A full description and quantity of the goods together with the weight
• If the recipient is a company, the VAT number of this company.

Remember to sign and date the invoice. Like all Pro-forma or commercial invoices, it must be written in English or in the language of the country of destination.

How to pack a package for delivery to China?

It is important to pay special attention to the packaging of your products before shipping. Taking the right precautions will prevent the package from arriving damaged at its destination.

Do not hesitate to consult our article on "Optimizing the customer experience through packaging" or our advice on “Prepare your fragile parcel shipments well” .

Take out additional Ad Valorem insurance

It is essential to take out insurance for items or products that have a high value. Add insurance «Ad Valorem » will allow you to insure your parcels up to €100,000, depending on the declared value.
