Parcel submission tips:
1. The weight of the parcel is the important basis for the customs to judge it as civil parcel or commercial parcel. A 10kg parcel will be more likely to be regarded as a commercial parcel. So please consider the weight of the parcel when you submit it.
2. Excessive quantity of the same product is also the basis for being judged as a commercial parcel. Please try to avoid sending a large amount of the same product in one parcel.
3. Due to the customs policy, please consider carefully for sending medicines.
