What you’ll need at pickup.
Customs paperwork is the most common reason an international parcel stalls. China requires more detail than most lanes — HS codes are not optional. We’ll walk you through it before pickup so it doesn’t.
KYC + sender declaration
One photo ID for the person on the AWB, plus a written sender declaration of contents. We photograph it at pickup; not stored beyond DTDC’s record.
Commercial invoice with HS codes
Chinese customs (GACC) requires precise HS classification on every line — not just a description. We help look up the right HS code for textiles, gem-trade samples, jewellery, electronics. Recipient’s Chinese ID number speeds clearance.
Prescription (medicines)
GACC compliance for medicines is strict. Sealed strips, doctor’s prescription with registration number, name matching the recipient’s ID. No injectables, no liquid medicines, no controlled substances.
What China doesn’t let in.
China customs (GACC) enforces a long list of category and political restrictions. These are real Chinese rules — not our caution. Items shipped against them are seized, destroyed, and serious cases can mean criminal liability for the consignee.
Don’t even try
- Politically sensitive materials — books, images, media critical of the CCP; Tiananmen, Falun Gong, Tibet/Taiwan/Xinjiang advocacy materials. Strictly enforced — parcels are opened and read.
- Encryption hardware, GPS modules, drones — PRC tech-export and import controls catch these. Even hobbyist GPS loggers get held.
- Recreational drugs of any kind — severe penalty including the death penalty for trafficking-quantity. Don’t risk anything.
- Counterfeit branded goods — China customs takes IP enforcement seriously now.
- Adult materials — pornography is prohibited.
- Cryptocurrency hardware — cold-wallet hardware is treated as suspect.
- Liquids and aerosols of any kind — universal courier rule.
- Lithium batteries above 100 Wh — restricted on air leg.
Allowed with care
- Gem-trade non-precious samples — CZ, costume-grade synthetics, silver-plated mounts. Loose precious gems and gold need a separate exporter route.
- Textiles & sarees — Jaipuri block-print fabric, cotton clothing, lehengas. Declare a fair value with HS code.
- Books and printed material — non-political titles. Bibles in bulk get flagged; one personal copy is normally fine.
- Sealed dry vegetarian sweets — declare every ingredient, factory-sealed only.
- Tablets with prescription — sealed strip, GACC-compliant paperwork. No injectables.
- Non-precious jewellery, small electronics — no GPS or encryption-controlled features. Declare make, model, value.
Yiwu B2B, gem-trade samples, family parcels.
Gem-trade non-precious samples to Yiwu
Yiwu wholesale market is India’s largest sourcing-destination for handicraft B2B — Marwari merchants source from China and re-sell. Reverse direction also exists: Indian non-precious gem samples (CZ, synthetics, silver-plated mounts) go to Yiwu Indian-merchant offices. Loose precious stones use a separate licensed-export channel.
Block-print B2B, Jaipuri textile samples
Sanganeri / Bagru block-print samples, dupattas, table-runners to Yiwu / Beijing / Shanghai Marwari traders for the reverse-handicraft B2B trade. Commercial invoice with HS codes and item-level values.
Jewellery — non-precious
Costume jewellery, silver-plated, kundan-style imitation. Declare honestly with HS code.
Wedding & festival outfits
Sarees, lehengas, sherwanis shipped ahead of Indian-Chinese weddings in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou. Non-precious jewellery boxes go in the same parcel.
Business documents to Yiwu / Beijing / Shanghai
Contracts, samples, invoices to Indian buyers operating Yiwu offices and the Beijing/Shanghai Indian-merchant community. Always express; documents need to keep pace with sourcing trips.
Returning-traveller baggage
Chinese tourists post-Jaipur visit. Picked up from the hotel, packed and shipped before they fly home.
Student care kits
Tsinghua, Peking, Fudan, Shanghai Jiao Tong — small Indian-student presence. Books, sealed dry snacks, kitchen tools, clothing.
AWB on WhatsApp. Track on dtdc.in. POD when it lands.
The moment the parcel is booked into DTDC International, we send you the AWB number on WhatsApp. Type it into the public tracker at dtdc.in any time. When delivery happens we forward the POD — signed slip or photo — within the hour.
Asked most often.
I’m a Marwari trader sourcing from Yiwu — what’s the routine?
Yiwu is the most common B2B India-China lane. Standard documents: commercial invoice with line-item HS codes, KYC, sender declaration. We handle the documentation; you provide samples and invoices. Steer clear of dual-use items (encryption, GPS, drones) even as samples. For pure paperwork — contracts, agency agreements — express documents are 7–9 days door-to-door.
Why does China customs sometimes hold parcels for 3–7 days?
GACC (General Administration of Customs of China) runs randomised inspections — they pull a percentage of incoming parcels to verify HS codes and contents against the declared invoice. If yours gets pulled, expect 3–7 days extra at the gateway. Nothing you can do to avoid it; the only way through is paperwork that matches the parcel exactly. Under-declaring value or vague item descriptions guarantee a slow inspection. We document precisely so the parcel passes the first read.
What absolutely should not go to China?
Politically sensitive printed material is the big one — books or media critical of the CCP, Tiananmen content, Falun Gong literature, Tibet/Taiwan/Xinjiang advocacy materials. Customs reads what comes through. Second category: encryption hardware, GPS modules, drones — Chinese tech-import controls catch these even as hobbyist items. Third: anything narcotic or counterfeit. The penalties are severe, and they fall on the consignee.
