International SHIPPING GUIDE
Estimate the parcel, not just the product.
International cost depends on route rules, chargeable weight, packaging and declared parcel details—not only the item price.
CHARGEABLE WEIGHTmax(actual, volumetric)
Some routes compare actual weight with a dimensional calculation based on packed length × width × height divided by the route divisor. The higher chargeable figure may apply.
Actual weight
The scale weight of the prepared parcel. Dense items are often charged close to this figure, subject to route rules and minimum increments.
Volumetric weight
Some routes compare actual weight with a dimensional calculation based on packed length × width × height divided by the route divisor. The higher chargeable figure may apply.
Consolidation
Combining warehouse items can reduce repeated base charges, but an oversized carton can increase dimensional weight. Group compatible items instead of assuming that one large parcel is always cheaper.
Packaging choices
Boxes, corner protection, moisture barriers and reinforcement change both protection and dimensions. Remove unnecessary retail packaging selectively, not automatically.
Route restrictions
Batteries, liquids, magnets, branded goods, food and other sensitive contents may reduce the available route set. Check the live estimator and restriction notice for the exact parcel.
International planning
Budget for the complete landed decision: product, China domestic delivery, service charges, international freight and any applicable import tax or handling. Do not promise a fixed delivery time before a route is selected.
