Important: Enhanced customs product name checks — avoid shipping delays
We have strengthened product name verification on all outbound forwarding applications. Vague descriptions such as 'gift', 'goods', or 'item' will be flagged and your shipment placed on hold until the correct product name is provided. Please use specific English product names (e.g. 'Men's Cotton T-Shirt', 'Ceramic Coffee Mug') to prevent delays.
