What to Know About Shipping to China from the USA

When it comes to importing household goods to China, there are a few things to keep in mind. 

  • You will need to apply in writing to import your personal belongings if you are a long-term non-resident; 
  • But you can file your application for permission if you already have a residence card. 
  • Your household items will be duty-free if they are intended for personal use. 
  • Only expats considered resident personnel can import a car duty-free. 
  • To be eligible for duty-free, you need to apply for approval in advance. 
  • The exemption from paying duties only applies to long-term residents who are importing personal effects for the first time. So try to ship high-value possessions with your first shipment. 
  • You will need an inventory list for all items you are planning to ship. 

As your moving service provider, we can take care of all the paperwork and bureaucracy and provide you with more information on importing goods into China.
