USPS offers three shipping services to China: Global Express Guaranteed, Priority Mail Express International, and Priority Mail International. Each of these services comes at a different cost and delivery windows. There are some strict limitations on what you cannot ship to China from the US, such as currency and precious stones or metals.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re interested in using USPS to ship a package to China, be sure to keep reading to see a side-by-side comparison of costs, delivery windows, and what you can and can\u2019t send!<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Much_Does_It_Cost_To_Ship_A_USPS_Package_To_China\"><\/span><span id=\"How_Much_Does_It_Cost_To_Ship_A_USPS_Package_To_China\">How Much Does It Cost To Ship A USPS Package To China?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Because USPS is a federally owned and operated organization, its shipping cost varies from service to service.<\/p>\n<p>That said, the USPS typically calculates the shipping cost by looking at the weight, dimensions, and distance a given package will travel.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, assume the package you\u2019re trying to ship weighs approximately five pounds, with 10\u2033 x 6\u2033 dimensions for the following examples.<\/p>\n<p>So, the most expensive shipping service available is Global Express Guaranteed.<\/p>\n<p>With that, this is because Global Express Guaranteed is a hybrid shipping solution offered by both FedEx and USPS that combines resources to provide the best possible experience for consumers in terms of safety, price, and delivery windows.<\/p>\n<p>For example, a five-pound package shipped to China with the dimensions listed above using USPS Global Express Guaranteed would cost about $150.<\/p>\n<p>However, if you use Priority Mail Express International to ship the same package, it would cost about $94.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, if you\u2019re shipping a five-pound package to China with Priority Mail International, you can expect to spend just under $75 for shipping costs.<\/p>\n<p>However, it\u2019s important to note that these estimated price points are based on arbitrary dimensions.<\/p>\n<p>So, depending on the dimensions, weight, and value of the package you\u2019re trying to ship to China, your shipping costs may look different!<\/p>\n<p>Suppose you want to get a more tailored, accurate assessment of the price for each shipping service.<\/p>\n<p>In that case, you can visit <a

service USPS provides, each comes with a different delivery window, which is often connected to delivery price.<\/p>\n<p>Global Express Guaranteed, the hybrid shipping service that USPS offers partnered with FedEx, is the most expensive shipping service.<\/p>\n<p>That said, it offers a delivery window of one to three business days to most major markets, which makes it the fastest option available.<\/p>\n<p>Then, the next fastest option available is USPS Priority Mail Express International, which has a delivery window of three to five business days to most major markets.<\/p>\n<p>However, suppose your package is non-urgent, and you\u2019re looking to save a bit of money.<\/p>\n<p>In that case, the best option is USPS Priority Mail International, which has a delivery window of six to ten business days to most major markets.<\/p>\n<p>When considering delivery times, there are a few essential things to keep in mind, such as:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Size Of China<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>China is a huge country with plenty of urban hubs and far-reaching rural communities, so delivery times can vary wildly depending on where you\u2019re shipping.<\/p>\n<p>For example, you can expect the listed delivery time to be relatively accurate if you\u2019re shipping to Hong Kong.<\/p>\n<p>However, if you\u2019re shipping to the rural village of Shengyou, delivery times may be longer than what\u2019s listed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Customs Regulations<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The second thing to keep in mind is that your package will need to go through customs, just as with shipping to any other country.<\/p>\n<p>Typically, this process does not take long, one to two days at most. However, in some instances, it can take a week or more.<\/p>\n<p>But, the best way to avoid a long hold-up at customs is to be sure that you\u2019re not sending any prohibited items and that you label your package with all of the appropriate tags and tax information.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Different Postal Services<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Finally, it\u2019s important to remember that when USPS ships to other countries, it only gets the package to customs.<\/p>\n<p>After that point, the rest of the delivery is taken over by China Post, the courier service offered by the Chinese government.<\/p>\n<p>Once your package changes hands from USPS to China Post, your tracking information will no longer populate on the USPS website.<\/p>\n<p>Also, delivery times can vary depending on the distance the package will travel and how busy China Post is.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re interested in tracking your package beyond customs, you can use <a href=\"https:\/\/parcelsapp.com\/en\/carriers\/china-post\" data-lasso-id=\"64949\" data-old-href=\"https:\/\/parcelsapp.com\/en\/carriers\/china-post\">this page<\/a> on the ParcelsApp website, which helps track your package even when it\u2019s out of USPS\u2019 hands.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Cant_You_Ship_To_China_With_USPS\"><\/span><span id=\"What_Cant_You_Ship_To_China_With_USPS\">What Can\u2019t You Ship To China With USPS?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Every country has a somewhat different list of items that cannot be shipped under any circumstances.<\/p>\n<p>China is no different; however, there are some more unexpected items that China does not allow to be shipped.<\/p>\n<p>For example, the more standard items prohibited by the Chinese government include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Weapons<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Ammunition<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Explosives<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Radioactive materials<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Perishable infectious biological substances<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Also, China prohibits the shipment of some high-value goods such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Currency<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Banknotes<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Securities payable to bearers<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Traveler\u2019s checks<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Precious metals<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Precious stones and gems<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Jewelry<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Additionally, some of the stranger items China prohibits are as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Manuscripts<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Printed matter<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Photographic negatives<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Gramophone records<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Films<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Magnetic tapes<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Videotapes<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Anything that could do political, economic, cultural, or moral harm to the People\u2019s Republic of China<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Radio receivers<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Transmitters or receivers of all kinds<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Walkie-talkies<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Wrist-watches<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Cameras<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Television sets<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Radio sets<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Tape records<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Bicycles<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Sewing machines<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Ventilators<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Used clothing and bedding<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Meat and meat products<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you\u2019re interested in seeing a complete list of prohibited and restricted items that USPS can\u2019t ship to China, you can check out <a href=\"https:\/\/pe.usps.com\/IMM_Archive\/HTML\/IMM_Archive_20060108\/imm\/immicl\/immiclcd_009.html\" data-lasso-id=\"64950\" data-old-href=\"https:\/\/pe.usps.com\/IMM_Archive\/HTML\/IMM_Archive_20060108\/imm\/immicl\/immiclcd_009.html\">this page<\/a> of the USPS International Mail Manual.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to learn more, you can also see our posts on <a href=\"https:\/\/wordxa.com\/what-are-usps-shipping-zones\/\" data-lasso-id=\"64951\" data-old-href=\"https:\/\/wordxa.com\/what-are-usps-shipping-zones\/\">what are USPS shipping zones<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/wordxa.com\/does-usps-ship-to-puerto-rico\/\" data-lasso-id=\"64952\" data-old-href=\"https:\/\/wordxa.com\/does-usps-ship-to-puerto-rico\/\">if USPS ships to Puerto Rico<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/wordxa.com\/does-usps-ship-to-canada\/\" data-lasso-id=\"64953\" data-old-href=\"https:\/\/wordxa.com\/does-usps-ship-to-canada\/\">if USPS ships to Canada<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span><span id=\"Conclusion\">Conclusion<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Fortunately, USPS does ship to China and offers three services for doing so.<\/p>\n<p>That said, these shipping services are Global Express Guaranteed, Priority Mail Express International, and Priority Mail International.<\/p>\n<p>Although Global Express Guaranteed is the most expensive option, it\u2019s also the fastest.<\/p>\n<p>In comparison, Priority Mail Express International is the best all-around option and the least expensive but takes the longest to deliver.<\/p>\n<p>Also, China has some pretty strict regulations on what can and can\u2019t be shipped, so be sure to double-check your package.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019re looking to ship packages internationally, USPS is well-known for being one of the fastest and least expensive options around.
