What Can I Ship by Air from China?
The honest, practical answer: most commercial goods are welcome on our lanes to Ukraine, Poland and the UK — some fly as general cargo, some need compliant documentation, and a few items we simply never accept.
Everyday cargo
General Cargo — Ship Freely
These move on standard air freight bookings with no special paperwork beyond the usual invoice, packing list and AWB.
Textiles, apparel & caps LED screens & displays TVs & monitors Furniture & home goods Hardware, fittings & tools Auto parts & machinery PET packaging boxes Bags & backpacks Shelf-stable packaged food
Real shipments we move weekly: LED displays and accessories, PA/PE co-extruded film, UV flatbed printers, action cameras and aluminium profiles — all classified as general or standard cargo.
With paperwork
Sensitive Cargo — Acceptable Under Conditions
These are not prohibited, but they need correct classification, compliant packaging and DG documentation before they fly. We handle them — never undeclared.
| Category | Examples | Conditions to ship |
|---|---|---|
| Batteries | Lithium-ion cells, power banks, VRLA/UPS batteries, battery-powered devices | UN38.3 test summary, MSDS and DG declaration; packed per IATA DGR |
| Liquids | Creams, serums, body lotion, perfume, e-liquids | MSDS, leak-proof inner packaging, proper absorbent padding |
| Powders | Cosmetic, food and chemical powders | Classification & MSDS, sealed bags inside cartons |
| Magnetised goods | Speakers, motors, magnets, magnetic strips | Shielded packaging to meet IATA magnetic field limits |
Compliance note: batteries and other dangerous goods are accepted only with complete and correct documentation and compliant packaging, handled under IATA DGR. We will not accept batteries or DG goods declared as "accessories" or "parts" to avoid paperwork.

Never accepted
Restricted & Prohibited Items
These are hard limits. We never accept them on any lane, no exceptions — trying to ship them puts every other consignment on the flight at risk.
Dangerous / regulated
- Hazardous material without correct DG paperwork
- Flammable, corrosive or toxic goods misdeclared
- Live animals, plants and protected species
- Items banned by Chinese or destination customs
We also reserve the right to decline cargo we cannot safely classify or insure. Clearance rules by country: see the customs clearance guide.

How to Confirm Your Item Is Allowed
Unsure? Do not guess — one email avoids a refused shipment. Here is exactly what to send us.
1. Tell us the product
Product name, what it is made of, and what it does. Photos help a lot.
2. Note any battery / liquid / magnet
If it has a battery, state the type (lithium-ion, lead-acid) and capacity, or whether it contains liquid or magnets.
3. We classify & answer
We check it against IATA DGR and destination import rules and reply: yes, conditionally (with which documents), or no — before you book or pay.
