Urgent standard goods
Eligible clothing, books, and daily supplies can begin with tax-included standard air review. Confirm final carton dimensions and full US street address.
TAOBAO TO US
How do I ship Taobao orders to the United States?
Check the goods category before you order, send eligible parcels to the China warehouse, then use the final list, carton profile, and US address to confirm consolidation and the shipping route.
Taobao-to-US consolidation workflow
01
Check eligibility before ordering
Review food, liquids, cosmetics, brands, batteries, and bulky products before sending them to the warehouse.
02
Use the China warehouse address
Enter the provided warehouse details on the domestic platform and keep the item list and order information.
03
Organize the parcel list at intake
Match incoming parcels with the goods list, photos, quantity, and any special category information.
04
Consolidate or split shipments
Compare dimensional weight, sensitive-item separation, packing, and US address suitability before combining cartons.
05
Confirm the route and dispatch
Choose an eligible air, express, sea, or sensitive-goods service with accurate declaration information.
Initial route direction for common Taobao orders
Urgent standard goods by express
DHL can be considered for eligible urgent standard goods where its service and tax treatment are appropriate.
Heavy, non-urgent orders
Compare sea freight for suitable consolidated standard goods. Minimum charge, dimensional weight, address coverage, and final-mile conditions still apply.
Orders with special goods
Food, cosmetics, liquids, batteries, and brands require sensitive-goods or specialised review; do not add them to a standard-goods carton without confirmation.
A larger combined carton is not always cheaper
Dimensional weight can rise: a carton that is large but light may be charged by measured volume.
Sensitive items can affect the whole shipment: a liquid, food product, battery, or restricted item can require a different route or a separate shipment.
Packing can become unsuitable: excess volume, poor cushioning, irregular cartons, or missing labels can affect acceptance and cost.
The address can be unsuitable: a city name, PO Box, missing unit, or unconfirmed residence rule may prevent the selected service from delivering.
