UK to Shanghai: Transit Times

Despite its 5,600 mile distance from the UK, transit times for parcel delivery to Shanghai are surprisingly quick and speedy. Sending a parcel to the Chinese city can take as little as 2 working days on an express service, with UPS for example, while a more economical service, such as with TNT, can take longer at 7 working days.

While we are able to provide an estimate for when your parcel should expect to arrive in Shanghai, it is highly advisable to refer to our Transit Time calculator feature to gain a more accurate transit time. Our Transit Time feature will take into consideration your UK collection post code and the post code of your delivery address in Shanghai to calculate a more precise transit time for you.

Important Customs Information for Shanghai

As your shipment will be travelling outside of the EU, it is important to be aware that your parcels will be subject to clearance by Chinese customs upon arrival into the country. Whether this process is familiar to you or not, at Transglobal, we ensure that you are fully equipped with the relevant documentation that you will need to ensure your parcel delivery to Shanghai is as smooth as possible.

Your shipment will be required to be accompanied by a customs invoice - this is simply a document that details the contents and value of the goods you are shipping to Shanghai. This is a mandatory piece of documentation and you will be required to print four copies of this. Once your booking with us is complete, you customs invoice is generated automatically for you. Your driver will accept these from you upon collection of your shipment, with it being used to calculate any necessary customs charges.

Shipping to Shanghai: Check your goods

At Transglobal Express, we are able to advise what are considered dangerous, hazardous and prohibited items that cannot be sent through our carrier networks. However, it is important to recognise that China itself will also have its own country specific restrictions. For example, you may find that items such as cosmetics and some pharmaceutical products may require special licenses to accompany them, while baby milk powder, for example, is only accepted into China in certain quantities and of a certain value. For the most up-to-date information, we would highly recommend to contact the relevant Chinese authorities prior to shipping your goods to Shanghai.
