This is driven by eCommerce, with Chinese consumers looking to the UK as a trusted supplier of quality goods, as well as businesses and individuals sending to major cities such as Bejing, Guangzhou, Shenzen and more.

When you send a parcel to China from the UK, it will have to pass through customs and will require a customs declaration. However, we take all the necessary information from you during the booking process and will provide the relevant documents to print and attach to your parcel prior to shipping.
Customs duties will also apply, and these are calculated by China customs based on the value of the item you’re sending. Always remember to provide a valid contact number for the recipient, as they are responsible for ensuring any duties are paid. Customs will contact them when the parcel arrives.
Before you send a parcel to China, make sure your goods are not prohibited or restricted. The General Administration of Customs of the People’s Republic of China (GACC) is the best source of information for this, as restrictions are subject to change, but prohibited items include:
Restricted items include, but are not limited to, money, alcohol, tobacco, animal and/or plants, including their specimens, seeds and propagation materials and precious metals. Personal belongings can usually be imported without issue, as long as the shipment is accompanied by a detailed customs declaration.
In addition, any shipments made up of wood, cane, bamboo and rattan, including items packaged in wooden crates or pallets, will be inspected by customs. Wooden items need to be fumigated or require a Phytosanitary Certificate. If it is a processed wooden item in the package then it does not require this certificate, but the recipient must provide a statement of how the wood was processed.
Please also check the Parcel Monkey restricted items list before you ship to China. This is a list of restrictions provided to us by our couriers and should be used in conjunction with country-specific restrictions.
Please note that there are separate import restrictions to send a parcel to Hong Kong.
Gifts under 1000 Yuan (approx. 113 GBP) are exempt from duties and taxes provided they are shipped from one individual to another and declared as a ‘gift’. You are required to provide a copy of the receiver’s passport for customs in China.
TIP: When addressing your parcel to send to China, you should provide the delivery address in English for the shipping labels. You can add the address in marker pen written on the box in Chinese if you wish.

great service - arrived to the destination with ease - was updated along the way - will use again
Just be very careful. I knew the dimensions of the box as it was printed on the box! I also knew the weight. But have just been charged an extra £3 including 50p for admin. Up until now I would have recommended them but totally annoyed now that they wait nearly 2 weeks for adding this cost with a feeble excuse which I could prove was a load of rubbish.
Fedex dekivered parcel on time. Good service
I am happy for the correction service but not happy to see that my parcel hasnt yet reached to its destination. Already the time limit what was mentioned to me is over and now overdue is going on.
I had 2 packages to send to China and was quoted two hundred and seventy pounds to send them. Luckily a lady heard my conversation and recommended Parcel Monkey. My 2 packages cost me one hundred and thirteen pounds with Parcel Monkey instead. Over half the price cheaper! Well done Parcel Monkey.
