  • ✈️ Air Freight: Please complete payment by 14:00 on April 24, 2025 (Beijing Time). Packages shipped via air freight are expected to be unaffected by the new policy and continue at current favorable rates.
    ⚠️ Please note: If payment is completed after these deadlines, your package may be subject to US customs duties!

📌 Important Reminder:

  • If you consolidate sea freight packages after 14:00 on April 11, 2025, we will collect tariffs based on a percentage of the declared value you provide. Please look out for further updates on rules and notifications.
  • Please ensure the declaration information you provide before consolidation is accurate. We will use this information for customs declarations and the pre-collection of duties.
  • We are upgrading our customs clearance system and working closely with customs authorities to ensure compliant and efficient clearance for your packages. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact customer service.

Please note that the following content pertains to the old tariff policy and is now invalid.

According to the latest policy notification at that time, the US government announced on February 8 the temporary suspension of the adjustments to the duty-free treatment for low-value goods from China, originally effective February 4. In response to this change, Cainiao initiated the following emergency response plan:

  • 1️⃣ Consolidation Function

    The consolidation shipping function has been fully restored.

  • 2️⃣ Notice Regarding Potential Delays

    Due to a surge in cargo volume at US customs following the policy adjustment, packages might have experienced delivery delays. Cainiao was actively coordinating with all relevant parties to address the situation.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Thank you for your understanding and support!
