Things to note when packing international express goods

When sending express to foreign countries, cargo packaging is a crucial link. Here are some notes on international express cargo packaging:

I. Selection of packaging materials

1. Carton packaging:

Give priority to new or almost unused cartons with a thickness of more than 3 mm.

Make sure the cartons are sturdy, complete, and not damaged or deformed.

2. Avoid black plastic packaging:

Black plastic packaging may be difficult to scan or inspect, increasing the difficulty of customs inspection.

Give priority to transparent or light-colored plastic packaging so that customs officers can clearly see the contents of the package.

II. Restrictions on packaging size and weight

1. Size restrictions:

The length + width + height of a single box should not exceed 270 cm, and the length of any side should not exceed 120 cm (some express companies may have stricter restrictions).

Try to choose a square packaging shape for easy handling, loading and unloading and stacking.

2. Weight limit:

The weight of a single box is recommended not to exceed 22 kg (some express companies may have stricter weight restrictions).

Overweight packages may increase transportation costs and delivery difficulties.

3. Protection of packaging contents

1. Cushioning materials:

Fill the packaging box with sufficient cushioning materials, such as foam plastics, air cushions, foam particles, etc., to prevent the goods from being impacted or squeezed during transportation.

2. Fixation and protection:

For fragile or valuable items, additional fixing and protection measures should be used, such as foam boards, bubble films, etc.

Ensure that the goods are stable and motionless in the packaging box to avoid shaking or collision during transportation.

4. Packaging markings and labels

1. Recipient and sender information:

The name, address and contact number of the recipient and sender must be clearly marked.

Ensure that the information is accurate so that the courier company and customs personnel can contact the relevant parties in time.

2. Marking and labeling:

Affix "fragile", "light", "heavy" and other marks and labels on the packaging box to remind the courier company and delivery personnel to pay attention to the special properties of the goods.

If the goods require special handling or attention, it should be clearly indicated on the label.

V. Other matters needing attention

1. Comply with the regulations of the destination country:

Before packing the goods, you should understand the relevant regulations and laws and regulations of the destination country to ensure that the goods meet the local import requirements and standards.

2. Avoid prohibited items:

Strictly abide by the regulations on prohibited items of international express delivery, and do not send flammable, explosive, toxic, radioactive and other dangerous goods.

3. Choose a suitable express company:

Choose a suitable express company for transportation according to the specific situation of the goods and the relevant regulations of the destination country.

Understand the service scope, transportation time, price and insurance policy of the express company.

When sending express delivery abroad, the packaging of goods needs to pay attention to the selection of packaging materials, size and weight restrictions, protection of packaging contents, packaging logos and labels, and compliance with the regulations of the destination country. Through reasonable packaging and choosing a suitable express company, you can ensure that the goods can be delivered to the destination safely and smoothly.
