Shipping parcels and packages from Germany to China involves several challenges. Not only does the sender face high fees in the form of customs duties and import taxes, but there is also a list of specific import bans or restrictions on the package contents that must be observed.

Not every type of goods may be imported into China. Therefore, be sure to observe the customs regulations and import restrictions of the country to ensure that your package arrives at the recipient without delays or even being returned. For more information, feel free to consult our experts or simply leave the customs formalities to us. However, you should still be aware of what is and is not allowed to be shipped to China.
Medications must, for example, always be registered, and commercial shipments to China require approval. This approval is granted as part of the China Compulsory Certification (CCC), which must be appropriately marked on the product. A list of all products that require such labeling can be found here.
Yes, as long as the shipment is sent for purely private reasons and does not exceed a total value of €125. A copy of the recipient's ID must also be included, and the contents must be listed in detail, specifying which products are intended for which person.
No. Different regulations apply to shipping packages to Taiwan, Hong Kong, or Singapore than to China.
Yes, you can also send parcels and packages to China if you own a business. However, you must meet specific requirements for the commercial import of goods. Not all products are allowed, and some require CCC certification – a commercial invoice with an EORI number must always be included.
Yes. The address format of the People's Republic of China differs from German addresses. Buildings often have names that must be included, as well as the district and the province where the city is located. In addition, the country name should be written in full as “People's Republic of China” and ideally also be supplemented in English.
TableThat depends entirely on which shipping method you prefer. On average, a package sent by standard shipping takes 4–11 days, while express shipments usually take 2–3 working days. The address itself is also a factor in delivery time: major cities are reached faster than remote villages.
