Shipping from China to Switzerland The Things to keep in mind for packaging

Packaging plays an important role in international shipping which affects the quality of transportation. It can be done by the shipper itself or by us. Surcharges may apply if you would like us to repack the goods for you, please contact our cs for more details. The choice of packaging materials depends on the quality of the goods, and the purpose is to make the goods safely protected and supported. The commonly used packaging materials are the wooden boxes, cardboard boxes and so on.


The regulations for the wooden boxes vary from countries. Some countries and regions may require fumigation for wooden boxes, while the others may not.


*For heavy or valuable items such as pianos, ceramics, handicrafts, etc., please pack them in wooden boxes.

* For shipping to countries like the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, Japan, and many other countries, they have strict regulations on unprocessed logs or log packaging. The wooden boxes must be fumigated in the original exporting country, and an approved fumigation certificate must be presented together with the import certificate. Otherwise, fines will be applied and the goods will be returned to the original exporting country.

* European countries requires the wooden packaging must come with the certificate which showed the box is proof from pest damage.

* The processed wooden furniture does not need to be fumigated.

* Items commonly used in daily life, such as books and various utensils, can be packed in sturdy cardboard boxes, and it is best to do moisture-proof treatment.

* It's recommended to fill the fragile items with essential filling materials to avoid damage.

* Place a layer of waterproof supplies (such as plastic bags, cloth, etc.) in the carton if possible.

* Place the light and heavy items in a reasonable combination for easy handling.

* The box should be filled with filing materials such as paper, paper towels, small clothes, etc., to prevent the items in the box from being damaged by flipping and colliding with each other during the moving process.

Shipping from China to Switzerland The Remote surcharges

The remote surcharge is a common surcharge for international express shipping. In order to provide customers with the most convenient and efficient services (including services to remote areas), international express companies such as DHL, UPS, and FedEx will add remote surcharges when the recipient address belongs to a remote area.


Check for  remote areas:

1. Search by zip code: Find the country on the corresponding remote list according to the country on the recipient's address. For example, if the country is Argentina and the zip code is 1917, then find the country of Argentina on the remote table, and then find out whether the zip code 1917 is on the remote table.

2. Search by city: Some countries do not have zip codes, so they should be queried according to the city name. Cities shown on the remote table are considered as remote. For example: Jamaica, city name: Alley, this city is shown on the remoteness table, so it is a remote area.

Shipping from China to Switzerland The General trade declarations

The general trade declaration applications varies from shipping methods.

(1) DHL and UPS: The total calculation weight for single order exceed 100kg or the total declared value exceeds 5000 RMB.

(2) FedEx and TNT: The total calculation weight for single order exceed 500kg or the total declared value exceeds 5000 RMB.

(3) Customers requires general trade declarations to apply for export tax rebates.

(4) Customer requires general trade declarations for other purchases.

Documents required for general trade customs declaration: pro forma invoice, packing list, declaration elements, latest version of customs declaration form, and proxy declaration letter of attorney.

What should I do for the goods that meet the above requirements for customs declaration but do not want to declare it (no formal customs declaration qualification)? Please refer the followings.

1.For customers who have packages which meet the weight requirement of the general trade declaration and cannot be shipped via splited cartons, but do not have import and export qualifications, we can help them deal with customs clearance as an agent, and thus the customer only need to purchase declaration documentation.

2. For goods with a value of more than 5,000 RMB, it can be appropriately under-declared according to the actual situation, shipped as samples, so as to achieve reasonable tax avoidance without formal customs declaration.

3. For the goods that can be split in more than the weight section, it is easy to handle, divide the weight into the weight section that is not officially declared, and then transport it in a single ticket.

Shipping from China to Switzerland The Shipping calculation formula

A) When the actual weight of the item is greater than the volume, the calculation method of the freight is as follows:

The first weight freight + (weight (kg) × 2 - 1) × the additional weight freight

For example: 7KG goods are calculated according to the first weight of 20 CNY and the additional weight of 9 CNY, then the total freight is:

20+(7×2-1)*9=137 (CNY)


B) When the actual weight of the item to be delivered is small but the volume is large, the freight shall be charged according to the volume standard, and then the total freight shall be calculated according to the above formula. The formula for obtaining the volume is as follows:

Regular items: length (cm) × width (cm) × height (cm) ÷ 6000 = weight (KG)

Irregular items: longest (cm) × widest (cm) × highest (cm) ÷ 6000 = weight (KG)


C) Fuel surcharges for international express shipping

For example, the current fuel surcharge of DHL Express is 12%, and it needs to be added to the result of formula (A): freight × 12%

Fuel surcharges are generally discounted along with shipping charges

Total cost = (freight + fuel surcharge) × discount + packaging cost + other uncertain costs

The specific fee can be inquired through the "Calculator for International Express shipping" in the navigation bar at the head of this site.
