To help you avoid unexpected last-minute fees, we have increased U.S. warehouse inventory and offer DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) and DTP (Duty Tariff Paid) services. Key updates are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Services for China\u2013U.S. Orders:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orders \u2264 $500: Select “US Direct Group Shipping” for duty-free delivery (DDP service).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orders > $500: The DTP (Duty Tariff Paid) service is applied by default for retail parcels from China to the U.S. This requires customers to prepay the estimated import duties and fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FedEx Shipments: All FedEx orders to the U.S. will use the DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) method. This means all customs duties are calculated and must be paid by the customer in advance with the order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
