China tracking

What is China tracking?

China tracking is a term searched by many people who want to find out how to track goods, e-commerce shipments, and parcels purchased in China from popular marketplaces such as eBay, GearBest, and BangGood. While many people search for China tracking in google, they may be more specifically referring to package tracking from China or tracking China parcels.

The growth in eCommerce and online shopping has seen people have greater access to goods around the world, with consumers able to order products from countries that manufacture goods directly - such as China - saving them money. This has led to a boom in cross-border trade that shows no sign of stopping, especially in light of an increasingly digitized world. This growth has in turn led to the rapid development of the shipping sector to keep up with increasing demand, not to mention the increasing number of internet searches for China tracking online.

If you want China tracking, you have come to the right place! Ship24 is a universal tracking web-based tool which can help you track china shipments internationally, just using your tracking or AWB number.

Will the size and weight of my parcel affect my China tracking?

All registered packages can be tracked; therefore, you can get China tracking on any registered parcel to wherever you are sending it in the world, with Ship24.

However, parcels sent from China will often vary in size and weight depending on the order and it is important to note that some couriers and destination countries do not accept certain packages. This is explained below:

• The dimensions: There may be restrictions on the dimensions of packages in some countries. If you are importing a product from China, make sure your order is contained in a package that meets the dimension requirements of the destination country. For instance, UK customs only accept square-shaped parcels that do not exceed 46cm x 46cm x 61cm.
• Restricted items: Several prohibited items can not be sent to certain countries. You should always check with both the courier and the destination country to make sure your items are not prohibited before intending to ship. Some general examples of prohibited items include explosives, firearms, toxic chemicals, and so on.

How long does shipping take from China?

Shipping time can vary between different couriers, as well as depending on the size, weight, and destination to which you are sending a parcel too. Many companies which offer shipping from China, including 4PX, Cainiao, and China Post, have a variety of delivery time frames to meet the needs of shippers and consumers, including express delivery which can arrive at some international destinations within 48 (and are most likely transported via plane) or slower delivery options (likely transported via sea) which can take a month or more. Typically, the faster the service the more expensive it will be, with larger size parcels, or parcels that weigh more, also pushing up the price of shipping.

Once you have placed your shipment order, you can get China tracking on any parcel with the Ship24 universal tracking tool. When you have made a purchase and have your China tracking number (which should be available once you have placed your order, or sent to you via a purchase confirmation or on the account section of the marketplace) you can copy and paste it onto the Ship24 homepage search bar to begin tracking your parcel. For single parcel tracking, you can use Ship24 tracking for free, and get every event update regarding your parcel available when you need it. Alternatively, if you are a business tracking multiple parcels with multiple couriers and need more professional tracking functionality, we also offer integrated tracking webhook and tracking API options for premium China tracking.

Please note: Any courier can experience delays to deliveries in cases of unforeseen circumstances, including border/customs hold-us, bad weather affecting transportation, or international crises (such as war).

Can I get China tracking on my parcel if it is sent via DDU?

All parcels sent via the Delivered Duty Unpaid (DDU) method, which means that the VAT owed on the package has not yet been paid, can be tracked using Ship24. In fact, Ship24 offers China tracking on parcels sent with the delivery duty unpaid, paid, and will be offering full tracking on parcels sent under the new IOSS tax scheme which comes into place for packages being sent to the EU in 2021. For more information on the IOSS tax scheme check out Ship24's IOSS solutions.

To make sure you incur no hidden fees when shipping, make sure you check that the value of your parcel does not exceed the maximum value as set by the courier or the maximum import threshold on items to the destination country. If you exceed this amount, your parcel could be stuck at customs until the outstanding tax is paid on the parcel. You can check whether your parcel has been held at customs with Ship24 China tracking, which will give you the latest location and status of your package. Ship24 China tracking will only help you track parcels from China and cannot help if your parcel is stuck at customs. If this happens, you should contact the handler to solve the issue.

Please note, failure to pay any relevant import tax fees could mean your parcel is rejected.

How do I track my parcel from China to the USA?

China tracking with Ship24 is nice and easy! When you enter your China parcel tracking number on the Ship24 homepage, you are utilizing an intelligent, AI-driven platform that scans the thousands of couriers and online shops on the web to find the latest China tracking information. It also tracks multiple couriers, ensuring you can continue China tracking no matter how many times your parcel is handed between couriers during its journey, all from the Ship24 website!

If you see a parcel not found an answer when entering your China tracking number, it could be because your parcel has only just been received and therefore not had a china tracking number assigned to it, or the number may be wrong. If after a few days there is still no China tracking information on your order, contact your courier.
