Special items such as food, medicines, cosmetics, health care products and other sensitive items. The four major international expresses, including DHL, do not accept international shipping in principle on a global scale. There are some freight forwarding companies on the market to help customers carry them. It is also a fluke. Psychology, after all, there is still a low customs clearance rate. If the customs clearance is not cleared, the freight forwarding company will also say that once it is shipped, the freight cannot be refunded, which is also a source of profit. We specialize in special channels for special mailing of customers’ special items developed in cooperation with the EMS of the Universal Postal Union. Our special channel is to clear items from relatively loose ports around the country. The cost is still 88% off from the official EMS of China Post. Provide free door-to-door pick-up service, the greater the weight, the more discounts, and our customs clearance rate is as high as 98% or more directly kill China Post EMS. Clearance of sensitive items in Germany is more difficult. In fact, more is not the reason of the German customs, because the German customs is still very loose on the customs clearance of the Universal Postal Union's personal items, with a tax allowance of 48 euros for the declared value. Why do many packages of sensitive items or ordinary items mailed by China Post EMS encounter difficulties in customs clearance in Germany? Based on years of experience, Sufang analyzes the detailed reasons for the whole thing for you:


The Universal Postal Union EMS is now a partner company in Germany called GDSK (Gesellschaft der Schnellkuriere GmbH Co. KG).


What kind of organization is GDSK? Does it have the right to withhold customer packages privately and impose a series of fees? GDSK is a transportation company established in 1980, its nature is basically similar to UPS, DHL and so on. In the past 30 years of development, its service scope has expanded from simple domestic transportation to global network services including sea and air transportation and compatible express services. Due to the cooperation with EMS, GDSK has the right and obligation to deliver the parcel from China EMS to Germany and go through the customs inspection of Frankfurt to the consignee as quickly as possible. If the items in the package are restricted items after customs inspection and need to pay customs duties and import taxes, GDSK can deliver the customs duties and import taxes on behalf of the consignee first after being entrusted by the consignee, and then send the goods to the receiver People claim their taxes and corresponding handling fees.


The company's approach:


After the parcel arrives in Germany, the company will detain the parcel first, and then send a letter to the recipient that the content and value of the parcel are unknown and cannot be cleared. Let fill in a form and attach the package contents, price, bills, etc. A signature is required on the form, and if this signature is filled in, it will voluntarily bear all the costs incurred because of the parcel, which is equivalent to the recipient automatically entrusting this company to customs declaration. After receiving the package, the company will issue additional bills. This fee is actually not related to customs.


The German customs has regulations. Private items not exceeding 45 euros do not need to be declared. Therefore, not all items need to be declared to the customs, unless there are specific items or items of a certain value, the German customs will have relevant spot checks, as in the airport.


The company GDSK obscures this concept. In the case that the recipient does not understand the relevant regulations, let the recipient fill in the form, causing the recipient to entrust the company to declare customs and willing to bear the actual expenses incurred.


As a responsible enterprise with three views and super positive, Sufang is obliged to let more people know the facts and how to deal with it:


1. Mail the special channel to transport the goods to Germany, and inform the customer service personnel of the fast side of the value of the goods (as much as possible to within 45 Euros). Our colleagues in the operation department clearly mark the package content and value in English on the package list, indicating that it is Personal goods, so the reason why GDSK sent a letter saying that the contents and value of the package is unclear and cannot be cleared is invalid.


2. If you receive a bill from GDSK, you must not fill in and sign any form. Immediately inform the company by phone that the items are private items and the price does not exceed 45 Euros. Send the package immediately. Tell Customs has been consulted, such private packages do not require customs declaration. If there are any problems, the customs will contact the recipient directly, without entrusting this company. Not all items need to be declared, only certain items or items that exceed a certain value need to be declared. The customs will randomly check or decide to detain those parcels. If you fill out the form, it will be equivalent to entrusting this company to declare the initiative.


3. Inquire about GDSK and provide some materials related to the customs declaration location, customs telephone number and customs declaration number. If you can't get it out, you won't be attacked by yourself.


4. If the company does not send the package, warn them to send a lawyer letter. The university has free lawyer consultation. You can seek help.


5. Don't give up the phone to urge GDSK. Don't mind if the other party is talking about customs issues, these are not related to customs at all, and you can definitely receive the package.


6. If you still receive the bill, you must communicate with a firm attitude over the phone to inform yourself that this situation does not require customs declaration. If the company has a hard charge, a lawyer's letter will be issued.


All in all, if the EMS package arrives in Germany, if you receive the bill, you should immediately call the GDSK hotline and inform them that the package is a private gift, and its total value does not exceed 45 euros, and ask GDSK to send the package immediately for free To the recipient.


According to our understanding, most customers who receive the form will send an email under the guidance of GDSK to inform the value of the items in the package. This email will be treated as "commissioned" by GDSK.


It should also be noted that as long as the recipient does not actually entrust GDSK in writing, there are corresponding remedies. The recipient can call to inform first that there is no intention to entrust, so no handling fee will be paid, but the tax paid by GDSK on behalf of the recipient can be paid first. The recipient then sent a letter in writing to the customs, stating the nature of the package’s private gift and its value of less than 45 euros, and asked the customs to review again and return the tax paid. After re-examination, the customs will confirm that it is real-time, and will request the account number from the sender and return the tax paid. Even if the item does need to pay customs duty and import tax, the recipient does not need to pay any handling fee without entrusting GDSK company.


Being in a foreign country will inevitably encounter unexpected problems. Using law as a weapon is the best way to protect personal interests. Su Fang hopes that everyone can safeguard their legitimate interests. We have already directed many customers to get packages in Germany. The email templates for communication with GDSK and customs are clear to our customer service, so if you want to mail a package to a German customer, you still need to find a more professional express delivery.
