Short answer: most sensitive cargo ships — via the right channel

"Sensitive cargo" means categories couriers refuse and customs scrutinizes. They are shippable — they just need the right compliant DDP channel. Over 8 years we have built ready clearance solutions for frozen, alcohol, cosmetics, pharmacy, and branded goods, so general categories require no effort from the client. Below is what we accept and what needs prior disclosure.

Why sensitive cargo ships DDP

Sensitive cargo most often gets stuck at customs. On DDP we handle export declaration, import clearance, duties, and compliant filing (frozen via food declaration, cosmetics via the relevant registration, pharmacy via dedicated routes) — the recipient just signs. Clearance is steady for general categories with low hold rates, so clients never face customs alone.

How pricing works

Sensitive-cargo freight moves with category, channel, season, and weight/volume, so a fixed list misleads. Quotes are given in real time on WeChat (within 5 minutes) after seeing the goods — transparent, no hidden fees. Not sure if something ships? Send a photo and ask — that is fastest.
