Common China Post Tracking Problems
Having trouble with your China Post tracking? Here are the most common issues and how to resolve them.
No tracking updates for weeks
China Post economy services have very limited tracking. Updates may stop once the package leaves China until it arrives at the destination country's postal system. This can take 2-8 weeks.
Tracking stuck at 'Departed from export office'
The package is in international transit. Sea/air shipping from China can take 2-6 weeks depending on the service. This is normal for economy shipping.
Tracking shows 'Returned' in Chinese
The package may have been rejected by customs or the address was undeliverable. Contact the sender/seller to arrange a reshipment.
Package received but tracking not updated
China Post economy services may not update tracking at the destination. If you received the package, the shipment is complete regardless of tracking status.
China Post International Shipping & Customs
International shipments from China are subject to customs inspection at the destination country. Items from Chinese e-commerce platforms commonly face customs review. Accurately declared values help speed up customs clearance. De minimis thresholds vary by country.
Shipping Restrictions
China Post prohibits shipping of dangerous goods, counterfeit products, weapons, drugs, and items restricted by Chinese export law or the destination country's import regulations. Lithium batteries have strict packaging requirements.
