Why Is It So Difficult to Send Packages from New Zealand to China?

International shipping involves multiple steps—transport, customs clearance, packaging requirements, and more. When sending items from New Zealand to China, people often encounter strict regulations, carrier restrictions, and high rejection rates.
To make the process easier, we use official export channels that allow a much wider range of items than regular couriers, covering nearly all common products purchased in New Zealand.

 

 

 

✔ Items You Can Send

(based on real customer needs)

Through our official export process, we can ship many categories that standard couriers usually refuse. Most products commonly found in New Zealand supermarkets and pharmacies are allowed.

1️⃣ Health Supplements & Food

(the most requested category)

Fish oil, propolis, vitamins, calcium tablets, baby food, adult milk powder, protein powder, coffee, cereal, chocolate, biscuits, etc.
These items are in high demand in China but are often rejected by retailers and standard couriers.

2️⃣ Personal Care & Household Goods

(often restricted by ordinary couriers)

Skincare products, shampoo, body lotion, hair dye, sanitary products, diapers, cleaning supplies, lanolin products, and more.
Many couriers avoid these items due to liquid content, cream texture, or fragility. We pack everything according to customs requirements to ensure safe transport.

3️⃣ Most Products Commonly Sold in NZ Pharmacies & Supermarkets

If it’s a typical retail product and compliant with regulations, it can usually be sent.

 

 

 

❌ Items Not Allowed

(please avoid these—customs will confiscate them)

To prevent delays and penalties, the following categories are strictly prohibited:

  • Meat products: beef jerky, canned meat, meat-based baby food, pet food, etc.

  • Fresh fruit or any perishable items

  • High-risk dried goods: sea cucumbers, fish maw, abalone, etc.

If any of these are detected, they will be seized and cannot be claimed or refunded.
We also conduct a pre-shipment review to help you avoid risks.

 

 

 

📦 Packaging & Quantity Requirements
