1) The single transaction limit for cross-border e-commerce retail imported goods is RMB 5,000 (inclusive), and the annual transaction limit for individuals is RMB 26,000 (inclusive) [Note: transaction amount = product amount + delivery fee amount]. When shopping and placing orders, be sure not to exceed this limit.

Customs will analyze and monitor the information data of e-commerce companies and consumers. Customs will conduct special inspections on suspected "non-personal use" packages, or even return them directly.
