How to Forward Your Packages to GoNest from CNfans and Others

Jun 17, 2025 by Kris 1 Comments #GoNest, #Logistics Guide

Transferring parcels between warehouses is a common practice. Many of our international customers may already have goods stored in other freight forwarders’ warehouses in China, such as CNfans, Joyagoo, or AllChinaBuy. So how can you forward those items to our GoNest warehouse? Below, we’ll walk you through the process and help you manage your shipments more effectively.

Quick Navigation

How to Begin the Transfer?

The first step is to obtain the address of the destination warehouse. If you wish to transfer your packages to the GoNest warehouse, you’ll need to get our warehouse address. Here’s how to do it:

  1. Go to gonest.cn and register an account. After registration, you will be redirected to your personal dashboard.
  2. In your personal dashboard, you will find the warehouse address, displayed exactly as shown in the reference image.

You can use this address when filling out recipient information at CNfans, Joyagoo, AllChinaBuy, or any other platforms that support domestic Chinese addresses.

What if you can’t complete the registration?
Try logging in with your Google account. This often makes the registration process much easier. If you encounter any other issues, feel free to contact us directly.

Forwarding Packages from CNfans

First, confirm that CNfans allows parcels to be forwarded to a different warehouse. If permitted, input the GoNest warehouse address as your new receiving address on their platform.

CNFans Address Fill-in

Next, contact CNfans customer service to request the forwarding of your packages to the new address and to settle the shipping fees.

Finally, notify our GoNest customer service team so we can be prepared to receive your packages properly.

You may also register these parcels under your GoNest account. Use the tracking number provided by CNfans and enter it into the package management section on our website. This will help you keep track of your shipments, and we will be able to match and record them to your account upon receipt.

Forwarding Packages from Joyagoo

Currently, we’re not fully certain whether Joyagoo supports Chinese address input. If you’re unable to add our warehouse address on their website or app, please follow the steps below:

  1. Contact their customer support and express your need to forward packages to another warehouse. Wait for their confirmation.
  2. Provide them with our GoNest warehouse address as your new delivery destination. Simply copy and paste the address from our website.
  3. When they ship out your packages, pay the required shipping fee and request the tracking number for the delivery.
  4. Use this new tracking number to log into your GoNest account and enter the information in the package management section. If you have multiple numbers, register each one separately.
  5. Finally, notify our customer service team to confirm your forwarding details so we can be ready to receive the shipment.

Forwarding Packages from AllChinaBuy

From what we’ve heard, AllChinaBuy does support entering Chinese addresses, but they may not offer forwarding services directly. We recommend confirming this with their customer service team.

If they don’t provide online forwarding services, please follow these steps:

  1. Contact their customer service and inform them of your need to forward packages to a new warehouse. Wait for their response.
  2. Provide the GoNest warehouse address as your new delivery address.
  3. Wait for them to calculate the shipping fee, make payment, and ask them for the final tracking number of the shipment.
  4. Use this tracking number to log into your GoNest account and register it under the package management feature. For multiple packages, enter each number one by one.
  5. Finally, contact our team to confirm the status of your forwarded packages so we can prepare for their arrival.

If they offer the option to input forwarding information online, you only need to update your shipping address to our warehouse address and submit your forwarding request.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if CNfans, Joyagoo, or AllChinaBuy refuse to forward my packages?
Please contact our customer service and provide screenshots of the issues you encountered. We’ll work with you to find a solution.

What if I can’t pay the shipping fee?
If you are unable to pay the fee due to payment method restrictions or other reasons, your packages won’t be forwarded. In that case, you can contact us and proceed as follows:

  1. Provide the contact information of the warehouse staff. Our team will reach out to them on your behalf and arrange forwarding to our warehouse.
  2. You will still need to cover the shipping fee. We can collect the payment via methods you can access, such as PayPal. Once received, we will pay the fee for you and coordinate a pickup service.
  3. Finally, we’ll inform you of the result and completion of the transfer process.

What if the warehouse doesn’t allow forwarding to other addresses?
In most cases, they may only restrict frequent forwarding. If this is your first time, you should contact their support and explain your situation—this is your right. If they still refuse, consider requesting a return and reordering your items to be delivered directly to our GoNest warehouse address on any Chinese shopping platform.

GoNest warehouse fully supports forwarding parcels to other warehouses.

How to Ship Nike Products by Air from China to the USA – Fast & Reliable Guide
Shopping from China Guide

How to Ship Nike by Air from China to the USA

Jun 16, 2025 by Kris 0 Comments #Parcel Consolidation, #Shopping in China

As someone deeply involved in cross-border logistics, I’ve helped many clients ship branded products like Nike sneakers and apparel from China to the U.S. by air. Today I want to share exactly how we do it at GeeseNest, and why air freight remains the top choice for shipping Nike products efficiently, securely, and compliantly.

Whether you’re running a Shopify store, selling on eBay or StockX, or just resupplying a boutique, this guide will walk you through every step—from choosing the right air route to managing customs.

Why Air Freight for Nike Shipments?

If you’re in the business of Nike products—whether it’s Air Force 1s, Air Jordans, or Dunks—speed is everything. Air freight is ideal because:

  • Fast Transit Times: 5–9 days to most U.S. destinations from China.
  • Reduced Risk: Less handling = less damage, especially for high-value goods.
  • Predictable Tracking: Real-time updates and visibility throughout the journey.

In our experience, air shipping makes sense when:

  • The retail value of the goods is high.
  • Delivery deadlines are tight.
  • Customers demand premium service.

Our Recommended Air Routes from China to the U.S.

At GeeseNest, we operate multiple air cargo lines tailored for branded fashion and sensitive cargo, including Nike. Here are three of our most commonly used lanes:

RouteDeparture AirportArrival AirportTransit TimePrice Estimate*
East China → LA/NYShanghai (PVG)LAX / JFK5–7 days¥35–45/kg all-in DDP
South China → West CoastGuangzhou (CAN)LAX / SFO6–8 days¥38–48/kg DDP
Shenzhen Express LineShenzhen (SZX)Chicago / Miami7–9 days¥40–50/kg DDP

*Prices vary by season, product type, and declared value. Bulk rates available for 50kg+.

These lines are designed for:

  • Branded sportswear (Nike, Adidas)
  • Fashion sneakers
  • Sensitive consumer goods (with compliance risk)

How to Package and Prepare Nike Products for Air Shipping

Many first-timers make the mistake of thinking packaging doesn’t matter. It matters a lot.

At GeeseNest, we always advise:

  • Avoid Nike boxes if possible — they attract attention in customs.
  • Use plain, sturdy cartons with void fill (like bubble wrap or kraft paper).
  • Remove or conceal logos when necessary, especially on outer packaging.

We also provide repacking services in our China warehouses. Just request it when you submit your shipping form—we’ll consolidate, relabel, or disguise sensitive branding as needed.

What Documents You Need for Customs

When you ship Nike by air, documentation is key. We handle most of it for you, but here’s what’s typically required:

  • Commercial Invoice: Item description, quantity, declared value.
  • Packing List: Details of each box or pallet.
  • Certificate of Origin: Sometimes required by U.S. Customs.

With our DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) service, we manage the entire customs process both in China and the U.S.—you won’t have to deal with brokers or duty calculations yourself.

Case Study: A Client Selling Nike Air Jordan in California

One of our clients based in San Diego imports 5 pairs of Air Jordans monthly. Here’s how we support him:

  • Shipping Mode: Selected shipping routes specially prepared for trendy brand shoes (or counterfeit brand shoes).
  • Declared Value: Approx. ¥90/pair (to reflect wholesale structure).
  • Cost: $ 81.29.
  • Delivery Time: 7 days door-to-door, including U.S. customs clearance.
  • Result: 99% on-time delivery rate, zero customs seizure in 14 months.

Because the client uses our warehouse for consolidation and labeling, he’s also cut down his costs by 18% since switching from FedEx direct.

Step 3: Submit a Warehouse Notice

Once your supplier ships the goods, log into our dashboard and input the:

  • Platform (e.g., 1688)
  • Tracking number
  • Product description
  • Quantity & price

Step 4: Select Your Shipping Plan

Choose your air freight option, select repackaging or consolidation services if needed, and confirm shipment.

Step 5: Pay & Track

Shipping fees can be paid via WeChat, Alipay, PayPal, or card. You’ll get a tracking number and real-time updates until delivery.

Why People Still Buy Fake Nike from China and How They Ship Them
Shopping from China Guide

Is It Legal to Buy Fake Goods in China

Jun 16, 2025 by Kris 0 Comments #Parcel Consolidation, #Shopping in China

The first time I saw fake Nikes and replica Adidas sneakers was in a wholesale market in Guangzhou. Dozens of stalls, rows of shoes marked with the familiar swoosh and triple stripes—but at just one-tenth the price of the real thing. I wasn’t the only one browsing: buyers from Southeast Asia, Africa, even Europe were scanning shelves and making deals. The question that hit me then was: If everyone knows they’re fake, why are they still so popular?

The answer, as it turns out, is simple: brand premiums have gotten out of control.

The Gray Market Behind the Logos

In China, counterfeits—especially “high-quality replicas” of branded fashion—have become an open secret. If you’re looking for replica sneakers, luxury bags, or limited-edition streetwear, you’re not alone. There’s a mature underground supply chain that includes everything from mold-making and sampling to full-scale production and cross-border logistics.

According to the China E-Commerce Research Center, over 80 million units of counterfeit branded apparel and footwear were circulated through online platforms in the first half of 2023 alone. That doesn’t even count offline markets or private exports.

A supplier I spoke with in Fujian told me he ships over 200,000 pairs of replica sneakers per year, with 80% going to overseas buyers in countries like the Philippines, Malaysia, South Africa—even Spain. His clients are often small shop owners or individual resellers on platforms like Shopee and Facebook Marketplace.

But Is It Legal to Buy Fakes in China?

This is where the lines get blurry. Chinese law clearly prohibits the production and sale of counterfeit goods. Government crackdowns do happen, and factories are routinely raided. But for individual buyers, especially tourists or cross-border shoppers purchasing for personal use, enforcement is lax.

Unless you’re buying in bulk for resale—or getting caught at customs with a suitcase full of fake Yeezys—you’re unlikely to face direct legal trouble inside China. That said, trying to export or import them into another country is a different story, especially when it involves brand infringement or customs violations.

Why People Still Buy Fakes—Despite the Risks

  • Affordability: A real Nike Air Force 1 might cost $150 or more. A replica that looks 95% similar? Maybe $20.
  • Brand Overpricing: Consumers are more price-conscious than ever. Many see brand pricing as inflated and unjustified.
  • Visual Indistinguishability: Some replicas are so well-made that they pass visual inspection—even up close.
  • Same Factories, Same Materials: Many replicas come from factories that used to (or still do) manufacture authentic goods. It’s not rare to find fakes with quality nearly identical to originals.

According to the 2024 China Cross-Border Consumer Behavior Report, 18% of global cross-border shoppers admit to having purchased at least one unofficial branded product, primarily in the fashion and footwear categories.

So You Bought Fakes. How Do You Get Them Home?

Here’s the tricky part: most international couriers won’t ship counterfeit goods. Customs in the US, EU, Australia, and other regions regularly seize shipments suspected of brand infringement.

But that’s where platforms like GeeseNest come in.

GeeseNest is a freight forwarder and consolidation platform specializing in “sensitive cargo”—items like replica shoes, branded clothing, or electronics that often face trouble with standard shipping. They offer discreet packaging, brand name shielding, and full DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) service, which includes import tax handling and customs clearance.

A reseller in France I interviewed uses GeeseNest to ship 3–4 boxes of replica sneakers per month, at an average shipping cost of RMB 25 per pair. His packages typically arrive within 7–10 days, and his monthly revenue jumped from €3,000 to over €20,000 after switching to this method.

How to Buy Replica Products from China (If You Must)

Here’s a general guide for overseas buyers using Taobao + GeeseNest:

Step 1: Create a Taobao Account

  • Use your international phone number.
  • Download the Taobao app or use the international version.
  • For shipping address, use the Chinese warehouse address provided by GeeseNest.

Step 2: Search for Replicas

Use smart keywords like:

  • “AF1 高仿” (AF1 replica)
  • “三叶草 精仿” (Adidas Trefoil high copy)

Avoid typing brand names directly. Focus on:

  • Product reviews
  • Photos/videos from buyers
  • Seller credibility & chat response

Step 3: Ship to GeeseNest

  • Get your dedicated warehouse address & customer ID from GeeseNest.
  • Inform them of your incoming parcels (platform, tracking number, contents).
  • Let them handle everything from consolidation to international delivery.

What Does GeeseNest Do Behind the Scenes?

  • Intelligent Channel Matching: Based on your goods (shoes, electronics, fashion), GeeseNest picks the best air or sea freight route.
  • Privacy Protection: They remove trademarks, combine packaging, and declare safely to reduce seizure risk.
  • All-in DDP Services: Customs clearance, import tax, door-to-door delivery—all included.

Standard delivery takes 7–15 days, but sensitive shipments may vary.

A Word of Caution

Shipping counterfeit goods is not risk-free. If your package is caught at customs, the goods may be confiscated, and you could be fined—especially in countries with strict IP enforcement.

GeeseNest offers professional advice and caution about these risks. “Sensitive” does not always mean “illegal,” but it does mean you need to be smart about how you handle it.

Final Thoughts

Buying fake goods in China is part of a much bigger story—one that blends affordability, globalization, and shifting attitudes toward brand value. Platforms like GeeseNest aren’t just logistics companies; they’ve become a solution to a very modern dilemma: how to navigate the gray zone between access and authenticity.

For some, fake goods are a compromise. For others, they’re a business model. Either way, knowing how to do it safely, efficiently, and with full awareness of the risks is the new consumer literacy.

Where Can You Buy Counterfeit Goods from China?

Jun 16, 2025 by Kris 0 Comments #Shopping in China, #Taobao Guide

The first time I saw those “fake Nike” or “replica Adidas” shoes was in a wholesale market in Guangzhou. Rows of sports sneakers, all marked with familiar swooshes or three stripes, but priced at only a tenth of the real ones. You might ask: if everyone knows they’re fake, why are so many people still buying them?

It’s not just Chinese customers—buyers from Southeast Asia, Africa, and even Europe travel here to find these goods.

Why Are Fake Branded Products So Popular?

The answer is simple: brand premiums are too high. A pair of genuine sneakers can easily cost over 1,000 RMB, while these “version shoes” that look almost identical are sold for just a little over 100 RMB. With little visible difference and a much higher cost-performance ratio, many consider this a “smart” way to shop.

Why Are Counterfeit Goods So Common in China?

In China, “high-copy” and “1:1 replicas” are practically open secrets—especially for sportswear, fashion, and luxury goods. Brands like Nike, Adidas, LV, and Gucci have entire underground manufacturing chains behind them—from mold making and sample development to full-scale production and distribution.

According to data from the China E-Commerce Research Center, over 80 million pieces of counterfeit branded shoes and clothing were circulated through online platforms in the first half of 2023 alone. That doesn’t even include offline sales or exported products.

One supplier in Fujian told me he sells more than 200,000 pairs of “version shoes” a year—80% of which are exported overseas, to countries like the Philippines, Malaysia, South Africa, and even Spain. Most of his clients are small boutique sellers or social media merchants on Facebook or Shopee.

How Do Overseas Buyers Ship These Fake Goods?

That’s a question I didn’t consider seriously until later.

Most international customers don’t ship these “sensitive items” via regular couriers. The reason is simple: brand infringement. If customs inspects them, the items are confiscated.

Instead, most use a consolidation logistics platform like GeeseNest, which specializes in shipping sensitive items from China.

Why GeeseNest Works for Shipping Counterfeit Goods

GeeseNest is experienced in handling goods like replica shoes, branded apparel, and electronic devices. Here’s what makes them stand out:

  • Privacy Protection: Packages are sorted and packed to hide brand identifiers and reduce interception risk. They also offer proper customs declarations.
  • DDP All-Inclusive Service: They offer Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) service. This means GeeseNest handles all steps—from export customs clearance to destination country taxes and delivery—so the sender doesn’t need to worry.
  • Stable Pricing: Their shipping routes are reliable, pricing is transparent, and channels are matched based on cargo type.

Example: A client from France uses GeeseNest to ship 3–4 boxes of “version shoes” every month. Each pair costs under ¥25 to ship. From warehouse to doorstep, delivery takes 7–10 days. His monthly sales revenue has grown from several thousand euros to over €20,000.

Why Choose “High-Copy” Chinese Goods?

From fake Adidas and Nike to replica luxury bags like Gucci and LV, there’s a full gray-market ecosystem in China. Here’s why consumers go for them:

  • Excellent Value: 300 RMB can get you a pair of sneakers that closely mimic the real thing—sometimes even in feel and build quality.
  • High Brand Premiums: More rational consumers don’t want to overpay just for a logo.
  • Mature Chinese Manufacturing: Many authentic branded products are made in China too, so replicas often look and feel very similar.

A 2024 survey by the China Cross-border Consumer Report shows that 18% of international shoppers admit to buying “unofficial branded items”, mostly shoes and clothing.

Step-by-Step Guide: How to Buy Replica Brands on Taobao and Ship via GeeseNest

Step 1: Register on Taobao

  • Visit Taobao International or download the Taobao app.
  • Sign up using your mobile number (international numbers accepted).
  • For the shipping address, use the Chinese warehouse address provided by GeeseNest.

Step 2: Search for Products

Avoid searching for “Nike” directly. Instead, try terms like:

  • “AF1 高仿” (AF1 Replica)
  • “Adidas 三叶草 精仿” (Adidas Trefoil High-Copy)

Look for:

  • Product videos
  • Clear real photos
  • Authentic customer reviews
  • Store ratings and trust level

Message the seller to confirm size, color, and delivery to your China warehouse.

Step 3: Ship to GeeseNest China Warehouse

  • Ask GeeseNest for your warehouse address with your customer code.
  • During checkout on Taobao, use this address as the shipping address.
  • Inform GeeseNest of the tracking number and expected arrival date.

GeeseNest offers discreet channels and guidance, but even they remind customers: sensitive goods aren’t always illegal, but they often involve brand violations. You must weigh the risk.

From my personal experience, shipping counterfeit items feels like walking a tightrope—the profit margins can be high, but if mishandled, you could lose everything.

That’s why working with a professional logistics partner like GeeseNest is essential. Whether you’re buying Air Jordans, Adidas Yeezy, or an LV chain bag from Taobao, a safe, traceable shipping process is the best experience an international buyer can have.

DDP Shipping Risks & Sensitive Cargo | Secure Freight Solutions by GeeseNest

DDP Shipping Risks & Sensitive Cargo

Jun 16, 2025 by Kris 0 Comments #International Shipping

In international freight forwarding, many shippers misunderstand the concept of DDP (Delivered Duty Paid). They believe that once a contract is signed with the freight forwarder and the cargo is handed over, all they need to do is wait for the goods to be safely delivered. However, the reality is far more complicated.

DDP Is Not “Set and Forget” — Key Documents Are Often Withheld

Under the DDP shipping model, some forwarders refuse to provide critical shipping documents such as the Master Bill of Lading (MBL) or customs declarations, citing “consolidated shipping” as the reason. Even when some provide their own House Bill of Lading (HBL), these documents often contain incomplete or incorrect information, making it impossible to track cargo status or safeguard the shipper’s rights in the event of a dispute.

If the forwarder subcontracts the cargo multiple times without proper oversight, the shipping status becomes uncontrollable. The originally agreed shipping method and lead time may not be honored. Once issues arise, identifying who is responsible becomes difficult, leaving the shipper with no clear route for recourse.

Consolidated Shipping Is a Major Hidden Risk in DDP

It’s important to note that DDP shipping is not the industry norm. Many suppliers prefer DDP because their shipments involve sensitive cargo. Freight forwarders, aware of the risks, accept such orders with the same mindset.

To reduce the likelihood of customs inspection, some forwarders mix sensitive goods with regular goods in the same container. If customs flags the shipment, not only will the sensitive cargo be detained or destroyed, but the general goods in the same container may also be penalized.

Cheap DDP Shipping Can Be a Price Trap

Some small-scale freight forwarders attract clients with unusually low shipping rates. Once they receive the goods, they may suddenly raise prices, or worse—disappear after collecting both the cargo and shipping fees, leaving the goods stranded and untraceable.

Shippers who use DDP often do not wish to expose their identity or the nature of their cargo, giving unethical freight forwarders the opportunity to take advantage.

How GeeseNest Handles DDP and Sensitive Cargo Logistics Professionally

As a trusted international logistics service provider, GeeseNest offers professional and secure handling of DDP shipping and sensitive cargo. Our approach includes:

Complete and Transparent Documentation
GeeseNest guarantees legitimate bills of lading, transport records, and customs clearance certificates for each shipment, ensuring full cargo visibility and traceability for shippers.

Controlled Logistics Chain
We maintain full control over the logistics chain with no subcontracting layers. All operations are handled by GeeseNest’s in-house team or certified global partners, ensuring every shipment is secure and traceable.

Transparent Pricing, No Hidden Fees
GeeseNest applies a fully transparent pricing policy. No mid-shipment upcharges or surprise costs—shippers understand the full cost before dispatch.

What Shippers Should Do: Stay Informed, Stay in Control

Even when using DDP, shippers must not rely entirely on the freight forwarder. You should proactively manage key steps:

  • Retain All Handover Documents: Include booking orders, invoices, and packing lists. Make sure declared values are accurate and clearly documented.
  • Get Container and Carrier Information: Knowing the container number and voyage details helps in tracking the shipment.
  • Follow Up and Archive: Communicate regularly with your forwarder, document all transport records and handover logs as proof in case of future disputes.

Conclusion

DDP shipping may appear convenient on the surface, but it hides many risks. This is especially true when dealing with sensitive cargo or working with forwarders offering unusually cheap DDP shipping.

To truly achieve “door-to-door, hassle-free customs clearance,” risk management must start at the source—choosing a reliable freight forwarder. With years of expertise in handling sensitive cargo and compliant DDP logistics, GeeseNest ensures professional, transparent, and secure freight solutions from origin to destination.

DDP vs. Shuang Qing Bao Shui: Cheapest Shipping to Italy
Logistics News

DDP vs. Shuang Qing Bao Shui: Cheapest Shipping to US

Jun 16, 2025 by Kris 0 Comments #International Shipping

In the world of international logistics, the term “Shuang Qing Bao Shui”, or “double clearance and duty paid,” is commonly mentioned. While it is often compared to DDP (Delivered Duty Paid), there are important differences in execution and responsibility. This guide will help you understand what Shuang Qing Bao Shui really means, when to use it, and how it compares with standard DDP services.

What Is “Shuang Qing Bao Shui”?

“Shuang Qing Bao Shui” refers to a logistics service where the freight forwarder offers an all-in-one flat rate, which includes:

  • Export customs clearance from the origin country;
  • Import customs clearance in the destination country;
  • All import taxes and duties;
  • Required customs documentation throughout the journey.

The term “Shuang Qing” refers to dual customs clearance (export + import), and “Bao Shui” means all import taxes are included. Therefore, “Shuang Qing Bao Shui to Door” essentially functions as a DDP shipping service.

Key Differences Between DDP and Shuang Qing Bao Shui

While both services seem similar on the surface (door-to-door delivery with taxes and duties paid), the responsibilities and legal implications are different:

ItemDDP (Delivered Duty Paid)Shuang Qing Bao Shui
Customs DocumentationProvided by shipper or consigneeHandled entirely by the freight forwarder
Customs Declaration EntityActual shipper/consigneeThird-party trading/freight company
Tax Number (VAT/TAX/EORI)Real customer’s tax numberLogistics agent’s tax ID used
Legal ResponsibilityTraced to actual buyer/sellerMay involve proxy legal and tax risks

When to Use Shuang Qing Bao Shui?

This method is best suited for situations where:

  • Importing sensitive or restricted goods;
  • Buyer cannot provide licenses or certificates;
  • Clearing customs through standard procedures is too complex or expensive;
  • Goods are being shipped to an overseas warehouse or FBA center without buyer’s tax number.

Risks of Using Shuang Qing Bao Shui

While convenient, this service carries hidden risks:

1. Tax & Ownership Issues

  • If sellers use an agent’s VAT/TAX/EORI number, they cannot claim legal ownership over the goods.
  • Multiple sellers using one EORI number can result in detentions or customs blacklisting.

2. Invoicing Problems

  • If the buyer requests an invoice with official VAT but the seller cannot provide it, this may result in payment disputes or non-payment.

3. Regulatory Liability

  • Goods cleared without a traceable VAT history may face retroactive customs audits.
  • Mixed containers (“LCL shipments”) using Shuang Qing may be collectively penalized if even one shipment fails inspection.

Case Study: Shuang Qing Bao Shui to the U.S.

A compliant DDP shipment to the U.S. typically involves:

  • IOR (Importer of Record): A foreign entity registration with U.S. Customs, which gives you an EIN (tax ID). This is a one-time registration for all future imports.
  • BOND: An import guarantee filed with U.S. Customs to ensure duties are paid even if the importer defaults.

Skipping these steps and relying on “Shuang Qing” clearance can trigger investigations and back taxes in the future.

GeeseNest Shipping Reminder

GeeseNest recommends sellers carefully assess whether using Shuang Qing Bao Shui suits their business model. For long-term operations:

  • Apply for your own VAT/TAX/EORI numbers;
  • Partner with experienced and compliant freight forwarders;
  • Choose formal DDP shipping when transparency is required.

For customized door-to-door delivery with taxes paid, insurance included, and real-time tracking, GeeseNest offers reliable air freight from China to Italy, the U.S., Southeast Asia, and more.

How to Ship Pop Mart Labubu from China to UK

Jun 13, 2025 by Kris 0 Comments #International Shipping, #Parcel Consolidation, #Shopping in China

If you’re living in the UK and have completely fallen for Labubu’s quirky “nine-tooth grin,” you’re not alone. In 2024, Labubu has become a top-tier icon in the world of designer toys. From BLACKPINK’s Lisa to Rihanna, from Thai royalty to Instagram influencers, everyone is showing off their Labubu collection.

But here’s the catch: while Labubu is everywhere in China, it’s nearly impossible to find in the UK — like a hidden edition on its own.

Don’t stress — there’s a simple solution: order directly from China and use a reliable freight forwarder like GeeseNest to ship it to the UK.

How to purchase Bubble Mart

We can guide you to purchase Pop Mart Labubu by yourself in China. Or if you have any needs for purchasing on behalf of others, please contact us.

What is Labubu and Why is Everyone Obsessed?

To understand Labubu, you have to know Pop Mart — the powerhouse behind this toy craze. Back in 2010, they were just a humble shop selling stationery and trinkets. Their turning point came in 2016 with the introduction of blind boxes and the character Molly.

Then came Labubu — an oddball with a mischievous smirk and nine little teeth. In a sea of cute, Labubu stood out with its rebellious and slightly twisted vibe, resonating with young collectors on an emotional level.

By 2024, Labubu wasn’t just popular — it was a phenomenon. Pop Mart’s global revenue soared past ¥13 billion, and Labubu alone accounted for ¥3 billion. That’s a 726.6% growth year-over-year.

Blind Boxes and the Dopamine Effect

Why is Labubu so addictive? It’s not just about what you get — it’s about how you feel when you open the box.

That blind box moment? It’s dopamine at its finest. Pop Mart has mastered the psychology — several common editions plus one hidden chase edition, strategically designed to keep you buying.

You think you’re buying a toy, but in reality, you’re engaging in a tiny dopamine-driven gamble. Communities, unboxing videos, and secondhand marketplaces keep the hype going — buyers become repeat players.

Pop Mart’s user data doesn’t lie: over 45% repeat purchase rate, and core users buy 12+ times a year.

Why Labubu Feels Like More Than Just a Toy

Why Labubu Feels Like More Than Just a Toy

In a time when people have plenty of stuff but not enough meaning, Labubu provides emotional relief. It’s chaotic, defiant, and oddly comforting — like a tiny gremlin cheering you on through the workday.

For many, Labubu is emotional armor, not just decor. It’s not just a toy — it’s identity, self-expression, and stress relief rolled into one.

The Real Problem: How Do You Get Labubu in the UK?

Labubu drops are often limited edition and mostly sold in China. International sites are either sold out or charge double. Completing a full set? Nearly impossible.

That’s where a trustworthy freight forwarder like GeeseNest comes in.

How to Ship Pop Mart Labubu from China to the US or UK

Jun 13, 2025 by Kris 0 Comments #International Shipping, #Parcel Consolidation, #Shopping in China

“You dodged LinaBell’s cuteness, escaped Jellycat’s soft charm, but Labubu’s mischievous smile got you in the end.”

If you’ve recently seen a rabbit-eared little gremlin with a wide toothy grin pop up on your TikTok or Xiaohongshu feed, you’re not alone. Meet Labubu, the weird-but-adorable figure that’s taking over the global collector scene. From Asia to the West, from your toy shelf to the runway, Labubu has gone from a niche toy to a full-blown cultural icon.

But there’s one common headache for overseas fans:
Why are so many Labubu drops only available in China? And how do I get them shipped to the U.S. or U.K.?

Don’t worry. GeeseNest, your trusted China parcel forwarding partner, has you covered with a seamless way to get your hands on the hottest Pop Mart figures—wherever you are.

How Labubu Became the Unlikely Global Superstar

Labubu was born over a decade ago, created by Hong Kong illustrator Kasing Lung as part of The Monsters series. In 2019, Pop Mart officially signed the series, but it didn’t explode in popularity—until 2024. That year, Pop Mart’s revenue reached ¥13.04 billion, with The Monsters alone contributing over ¥3 billion, a 726% year-over-year growth. Labubu was officially crowned the company’s breakout star.

What makes Labubu different?
It’s not your typical cute. It’s mischievous, odd, and a bit “off”—and that’s exactly the appeal. With nine sharp teeth, bulging eyes, and a grin that walks the line between innocent and evil, Labubu resonates with a generation that relates more to emotional realism than perfect aesthetics.

As one fan put it:
“People say I’m childish for collecting dolls in my 30s, but to me, Labubu—with its exaggerated grin—is how I push back against the pressures of adulthood.”

From Collectible to Couture: Labubu’s Fashion World Takeover

Labubu’s rise didn’t happen by chance—it got the full celebrity and fashion treatment.

  • Lisa from BLACKPINK posted Labubu selfies on Instagram, sending Southeast Asian and global fans into a frenzy.
  • A Thai princess was spotted at Paris Fashion Week with Labubu dangling from her Hermès bag—instantly turning Labubu into a luxury fashion companion.
  • Rihanna was seen at LAX with a pink Labubu keychain, prompting fans to declare, “Labubu has officially landed in the U.S.”

Now, in the fashion world, Labubu isn’t just an accessory. It’s a statement.
“Wearing a $50,000 Birkin is basic—pairing it with a $20 Labubu keychain? That’s trendsetting.”

And the obsession doesn’t stop there. Some collectors even tailor-make outfits for their Labubu, turning it into a full-on style icon.

Overseas Fans, Here’s the Real Question: How Can You Get One?

As Labubu fever spreads, many overseas fans are frustrated. Limited edition drops and blind boxes often launch exclusively in China. Even official Pop Mart stores abroad can’t keep up.

So how can you get your dream Labubu shipped overseas safely, quickly, and affordably?
That’s where GeeseNest steps in.

Meanwhile, the tag #LabubuHaul has passed 1 billion views.

On Instagram, a crafter’s handmade crochet Labubu got over 220K likes, with top comments begging him to name the figures “delulu.”

In China, the chaos continues:
Social media is flooded with posts of distorted “bootleg” Labubu figures, affectionately called “祖国版 Labubu” (Labubu of the motherland)—ugly but iconic.

Labubu Meets… Witchcraft? Yes, Really.

On Xiaohongshu, the tag #LabubuWishingWall has over 500,000 posts.
Desperate to pull their favorite rare blind box design, some fans take Labubu to temples, light incense, and even spiritually cleanse their figures before unboxing. It’s part of the new “spiritual rituals for toys” trend.

In Hong Kong, Labubu even showed up at a religious banquet event dressed as a deity—complete with golden robes, scepters, and a chest tag reading “Bring Wealth.”
Fans joke: “This world is clearly being taken over by Labubu.”
