Ships from Hyderabad in 5-7 working days. Starting from ₹890/kg with free vacuum packing and home collection. We handle all China Customs (GACC) paperwork — customs-document support.
Eligibility, pricing inputs, estimated transit and destination-specific preparation in one concise guide.
China’s General Administration of Customs — the GACC — permits resident students to import personal effects duty-free up to a reasonable quantity, with new items subject to a personal postal articles duty when the total exceeds RMB 5,000. Students bound for Tsinghua, Peking University, or Fudan must hold a residence permit and a university enrolment letter; the customs declaration at Shanghai Pudong or Beijing Capital carries both. Hundreds of Hyderabad parents have shipped their child’s trunk through SLP Express, and the GACC officer wants the xueji — student registration — paired with the packing list. SLP Express prepares that pairing before pickup. Used personal effects owned and used abroad clear duty-free; new items above the threshold attract a flat personal articles tax. DHL reaches Chinese addresses in four to six working days, clearance usually within twenty-four hours of arrival.
A 30 kg trunk on a Hyderabad-to-Beijing or Shanghai flight costs ₹23,000 in excess charges; SLP Express sends the same weight via DHL to Tsinghua’s student apartments or Fudan’s international student building for under ₹16,000, delivered to the campus address. Hundreds of Hyderabad parents have shipped their child’s trunk ahead of the student’s flight, and the GACC officer at Pudong or Capital clears it faster when the xueji and packing list travel together. Our packing is complimentary and triple-layered: vacuum-sealed clothing, foam-protected laptops, double-boxed kitchen items separated from books. Chinese customs requires accurate HS classification on every item. DHL reaches Chinese addresses in four to six working days. WhatsApp tracking from pickup to delivery. Book ten working days before the semester because Chinese customs queue depth varies by season.

What China Customs (GACC) officers actually check. What we attach to every baggage parcel before it leaves Hyderabad.
A Transfer of Residence concession may apply to eligible returning residents, students or relocating professionals. Eligibility, document requirements and duty treatment depend on destination rules and personal circumstances, so confirmation from the receiving authority or a qualified broker may be required.
TR form support is also available for used goods shipped as personal effects — we help you document items correctly so they qualify as used personal belongings rather than commercial imports.
Packing is selected to limit unused volume, separate fragile items and suit the selected carrier's handling and chargeable-weight rules.
Clothes, bedding, winter wear, and soft goods are vacuum-sealed to compress volume by up to 40%. Every cubic centimetre saved reduces your volumetric weight — directly lowering the final shipping cost. Your student can ship more for the same price.
Electronics, kitchenware, and fragile items are wrapped individually in bubble-wrap and packed inside a corrugated reinforced inner box. Every item is photographed before sealing — creating a photographic inventory record for your reference and for any insurance claim.
Export-grade 7-ply corrugated outer carton, double-taped seams, heavy-duty strapping bands, and customs-ready labelling. Built to withstand cargo-hold stacking, conveyor belts, and the full international transit journey to China.
