USA SHIPPING NOTICE
Before shipping to the United States, confirm whether the goods can travel, which service applies, whether the packing complies, and whether the address can receive delivery. Many returns, surcharges, and delays begin with conditions that were not checked before dispatch.
CAN IT SHIP?
The same product can have a different outcome on different services. Use this as an initial screen, then confirm the actual photos, ingredients, quantity, value, packing, and US ZIP code.
Firearms and ammunition, drugs, explosives, hazardous chemicals, flammable, corrosive, or radioactive items, white powder, unlabeled liquids, tobacco, alcohol, plant and animal specimens, and antiques are restricted by many services.
Food, medicine, supplements, cosmetics, liquids, powder, magnetic goods, battery-powered products, phones, computers, brands, replicas, and medical devices need a service-specific review and cannot be treated as ordinary goods.
Clothing, shoes, household goods, ordinary books, kitchen goods, and some personal items are generally easier to assess as standard goods, subject to final dimensions, packing, and the destination ZIP code.
SENSITIVE GOODS
Food, medicine, cosmetics, liquids, battery-powered and magnetic products, and brands fall into sensitive-goods review. Standalone batteries normally need a specialist service; packing, declaration, taxes, weight thresholds, and surcharges do not follow the same rules.
Read the sensitive-goods guideSome food, normal daily medicine, and supplements may be reviewed for an eligible service, but meat, egg, dairy, perishable goods, controlled medicine, and white powder carry higher risk.
Cosmetics, aerosols, gels, perfume, alcohol, and adhesive products are assessed by ingredients, packing, and quantity. Do not assume they can use a standard-goods service.
Built-in batteries, magnetic products, and standalone batteries have different rules. Standalone batteries normally require specialist packing, technical details, and destination review.
PACKAGING AND SIZE
US services impose limits on each piece's size, actual weight, girth, and packing form. Oversize, overweight, irregular goods, crates, and frames can trigger surcharges or require a specialist service.
| Situation | Common requirement or risk | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Standard goods / sensitive sea freight | Typical reference limits are about 120 cm on the longest side, 75-76 cm on the second side, 265-266 cm girth; a piece around 22 kg can trigger overweight rules. | Provide each completed carton's actual weight and dimensions before booking a normal service. |
| DHL express | Dimensional weight commonly uses /5000; longest-side and second-side limits are assessed separately, and remote areas follow DHL's result. | Provide an English address, ZIP code, and finished dimensions; declare battery goods accurately and pack them as required. |
| Standalone batteries | Specialist packing such as a UN carton may be required; battery type, per-piece weight, dimensions, and destination must be reviewed. | Send product photos, technical details, packing method, and ZIP code. Do not mix them with ordinary goods. |
| Oversized cargo / furniture | Goods around 150 kg and above, large furniture, equipment, lighting, and toys require size, crate or frame, truck-delivery, and unloading review. | Provide photos, dimensions, weight, packing, ZIP code, and site access or unloading needs for a specialist quote. |
ADDRESS RISKS
Not every US address can receive every service. Special states, islands, military addresses, PO Boxes, and some ZIP ranges can be unsupported or require a separate cost confirmation.
DECLARATION AND FEES
Tax-included and non-tax-included services follow different pricing logic. DHL, standalone batteries, Amazon addresses, and some sensitive-goods shipments require tax, handling, declared-value, and clearance documents to be confirmed in advance.
Use the true product name, quantity, value, and goods type. Under-declaration or concealment can lead to inspection, return, confiscation, penalties, or additional taxes.
Do not compare tax-included and non-tax-included services as though they were the same. DHL, Amazon delivery, standalone batteries, and specialist goods can have separate tax and handling terms.
Wrong addresses, refusal, unconfirmed restricted addresses, or unresolved delivery exceptions can create return, redelivery, storage, or truck waiting charges.
SELF CHECK
When any item is unclear, confirm it before sending goods to the warehouse.
