Taiwan to China | Commercial Cargo

Sample-scale commercial cargo, cleared via commercial declaration, capped at RMB 5,000 per shipment

Commercial cargo means "commercial samples" — declared using a commercial invoice, suitable for e-commerce samples, brand samples, business proposal samples, and promotional materials. The recipient must be a registered company in mainland China, and the per-shipment dutiable value is capped at RMB 5,000. If your cargo volume or value reaches bulk, restocking, or formal import/export scale, we recommend using our formal trade service instead.

Prohibited & Restricted Items

Counterfeit & IP-Infringing Goods

Any counterfeit branded goods, pirated goods, or items infringing intellectual property rights are strictly prohibited.

Political & Religious Materials

Items related to information that violates the One-China principle, as well as sensitive, adult, religious-promotional, or restricted-rated materials.

Goods Requiring Inspection/Quarantine

Some food, cosmetics, and health supplements are subject to mainland China import inspection/quarantine or registration requirements. Our team must assess whether they can be declared for customs clearance, and additional documents such as ingredient lists or test reports may be required before acceptance — providing information does not guarantee acceptance.

Hazardous Items

Power banks, batteries, e-cigarettes, pressurized aerosol sprays, flammable liquids, etc. Batteries built into electronics are acceptable.

Illegal & Restricted Items

Cash, bank cards, SIM cards, ID documents, knives, weapons/ammunition, drugs, and similar items.

Other Notes

Electronics, drones, and special items are accepted only after confirmation per regulations. For large cargo volumes or values, we recommend switching to the formal trade service.

Commercial goods should not be split into multiple "personal parcels" to evade customs classification; if verified, this may constitute smuggling, and the sender bears full responsibility.

How To Use

  1. Provide a product list, sample details, and estimated value
  2. Our team confirms it qualifies as commercial sample cargo
  3. Confirm quote and shipping arrangement
  4. Assistance with tracking and handling issues after shipment

Please Confirm Special Situations First

  • Commercial cargo only applies to sample-scale goods; the per-shipment value must not exceed RMB 5,000.
  • Please provide complete information in advance for branded goods, electronics, food, and special materials.
  • If cargo volume or value reaches bulk, restocking, or formal import/export scale, our team will recommend the formal trade service instead.

Declaration Requirements

  • The commercial invoice must fully list item names, quantities, unit prices, and total value, matching the actual cargo, and should not be filled in vaguely; please prepare two copies.
  • We recommend including a packing list detailing the contents and quantity of each box to speed up sorting and customs clearance.
  • The recipient must be a registered company in mainland China. Please provide the full company name, unified social credit code, contact person's name, phone number, and address, matching the commercial invoice and order details.
  • If declaration information is incomplete, incorrect, or false, resulting in additional tax, delays, returns, holds, destruction, or other costs, the sender bears full responsibility.

How Is Tax Calculated

Commercial cargo (commercial samples) is taxed under the same general trade tax model as formal trade. The difference is that commercial cargo uses simplified "commercial sample" declaration paperwork, and only applies to samples valued at RMB 5,000 or less per shipment — this is the upper limit of what this service covers.

How Is General Trade Tax Calculated?

Commercial cargo and formal trade are taxed under the same general trade model: tariff (based on the commodity tariff code, rate varies) + import VAT (standard 13%, 9% for some goods) + consumption tax (only for specific goods like tobacco, alcohol, cosmetics, luxury items). Commercial cargo uses simplified "commercial sample" declaration paperwork, making it easier to declare samples valued at RMB 5,000 or less per shipment.

What If It Exceeds RMB 5,000?

Commercial cargo only covers samples valued at RMB 5,000 or less. If the cargo volume or value exceeds this, it no longer qualifies for commercial cargo declaration and must instead use our formal trade service, with full trade documentation (such as import/export trader registration and certificate of origin) prepared for formal declaration.

The actual taxation method is determined by customs. We recommend providing product details and estimated value before shipping so our team can help confirm whether it qualifies as commercial cargo; this is not a guarantee of the tax rate or amount.

Shipping Notices

▌Commercial Invoice Requirements

A complete commercial invoice is required, including item names, quantities, unit prices, and total value, in two copies, with clear and accurate information — not filled in vaguely.

▌Packing List

We recommend including a packing list detailing the contents and quantity of each box to speed up sorting and customs clearance.

▌Item & Quantity Planning

Commercial goods should not be split into multiple "personal parcels" to evade customs classification; if verified, this may constitute smuggling, and the sender bears full responsibility.

▌Tax & Declaration Method

Commercial cargo is taxed under the same general trade model as formal trade, but uses simplified "commercial sample" declaration paperwork, with a per-shipment value cap of RMB 5,000; amounts exceeding this require the formal trade service with full trade documentation instead. The actual taxation method is determined by customs.

▌Inspection-Required Items Need Prior Assessment

Food, health supplements, cosmetics, and other items subject to inspection/quarantine must be assessed by our team to confirm whether they can be declared for customs clearance, and additional documents such as ingredient lists or test reports may be required before acceptance — providing information does not guarantee acceptance.

▌Shipping Schedule Planning

Shipments can be arranged in batches according to your sample preparation schedule, but each shipment's declared value must still stay within RMB 5,000.

▌Compensation & Issue Handling

Lost parcels are compensated up to 2x the shipping fee; the value of the contents is not separately compensated — we recommend additional insurance for high-value cargo. If delays, holds, or returns occur due to false declarations, prohibited items, or customs policy, the sender bears the related responsibility.
