How to reduce the probability of being taxed?


1. Control the weight of the package


The weight of the package is an important basis for the customs of various countries to judge civilian packages and commercial packages. A single package should not exceed 30kg. If it is too heavy, it is easier to be inspected. If the package is heavy, it can be mailed in batches and tickets.


2. Sensitive goods


The customs have strict supervision on sensitive goods. If there is a need to mail sensitive goods, it is recommended to take the sensitive goods special line. Or mix a small amount of sensitive goods with general goods, the probability of being inspected will be lower.


3. Control the number of the same items


Too many of the same items are one of the bases for judging whether it is a commercial package. It is recommended to avoid using the same package to send a large number of the same items to avoid high taxes.


4. Reasonable declaration
