Which express shipping from China is easy for custom clearance and cheap?

1. Express freight for European Countries:

It is suitable to ship by DHL and TNT for Northern Europe and Southern Europe, and FedEx for Western Europe. The TNT customs clearance ability is the strongest, especially in the Netherlands and Belgium, because TNT belongs to Dutch Post.

Here I want to explain that some Western European countries like France, Germany, Spain, the United Kingdom are not suitable to ship by postal parcels, because their website may not update the delivery information.

Eastern European countries, express freight by DHL is the best, including Romania, Bulgaria, Moldova, Hungary, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania.

Other European countries: It is best to ship by EMS and postal parcels for Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, and the former Soviet Union countries, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, etc.

The customs in Greece, Turkey are relatively corrupt, charge high tax. It is not recommended to delivery by major express DHL, FedEx, TNT, and UPS unless the customer has their customs clearance agent, generally ship by EMS and postal as they have more strong customs clearance ability.

United Kingdom: Customs duty will be created when the declared value is greater than 18GBP.

Ireland, France, Spain, Norway, Sweden, Belgium, and Denmark: They belong to the European Union. For packages above 22 euros will be taxed.

Italy: It belongs to the European Union. It starts to charge taxes for parcels higher than 22 euros. Because the tax-free declaration is low, the parcels in the EU area are often investigated for low declarations.

Netherlands: It belongs to the European Union. Taxes on packages above 22 euros will be taxed. Inspection for Textiles has been relatively strict.

Germany: In the European Union, taxes on parcels above 22 euros are taxed. Germany is also a relatively special country in the European Union. Customs inspections are more strict than in other EU countries. EMS is often returned for customs reasons.

Russia: It is a very special country. Everything ship by DHL and FedEx will be inspected, but EMS is rarely inspected and the postal route is smoother. Import to Russia, both the sender and the recipient must be under the name of the company, if any party is private, the shipment will not be delivered directly to the destination, also the country does not accept the abandonment of parcels, if the destination clearance fails, the shipment will be arranged to ship back, the return fee will be paid by the sender, and the delivery returned will take a long time.

Ukraine: Ukrainian customs are also more difficult, the customs clearance is smoother by postal EMS and small parcels.

Belarus: It is easy to have problems with FedEx and DHL parcels, but it is smoother with EMS. Belarus imposes weight restrictions on parcels. Each shipment cannot exceed 250KG, and the single item cannot exceed 50KG. If the shipment arrives locally, it must be forwarded to the third-party agent (the city or zip code marked “F” in the DHL service guide list). Each package cannot exceed 30KG and the size does not exceed 1.2*0.8*0.8M. If the weight exceeds this limit, the shipment will be automatically returned, and all costs incurred will be paid by the shipper.

Indonesia: It is best to send DHL, the customs clearance by FedEx is not easy, and the tax is heavy, as customer’s experience, they would rather choose the relatively expensive DHL shipping channel.

Philippines: There is no exemption for imported goods, and tariffs may be imposed on all parcels.

Malaysia: All wooden packaging of imported goods in Malaysia must be heat treated and marked the certified by New regulations for wood packaging materials, from July 1, 2010.

Other countries in Oceania, including New Zealand, French Polynesia, and some small islands, it has more flights by DHL and FedEx, but DHL is faster and more expensive.
