Simply send us your 1688 product link and destination.
Our team can review the basic product information and advise whether:
Standard DDP Shipping Is Available
A Special Shipping Route Is Required
or
The Product Cannot Be Accepted
This helps avoid unnecessary purchases, warehouse delays and return costs.
Customer Responsibility
Customers are responsible for providing complete and accurate information about their goods.
You must not intentionally:

- Provide fraudulent documentation
Incorrect or incomplete cargo declarations may result in delays, additional charges, shipment rejection or loss of cargo protection eligibility.
Warehouse Acceptance Does Not Guarantee International Shipping
Delivery of a package to our China warehouse does not automatically mean that the product has been approved for international transportation.
In some cases, the exact contents can only be identified after the package arrives.
If we determine that goods cannot be transported using an available route, we will contact you to discuss available options, such as:
- Returning the goods to the supplier
- Arranging an alternative compliant route where available
- Using your nominated freight forwarder
- Other legally available solutions
Additional warehouse, return, packing or transportation fees may apply where appropriate.
