New Shipping Restrictions in place before Olympic Games

June 3, 2008

The Chinese government has started to impose shipping restriction in advance of the upcoming Olympic games in Beijing. The Chinese Post Office has suspended mailing of liquids or powders as a safety precaution. Other products such as  powdered goods, chemical products, unidentified metal, mechanical and electrical products, as well as sealed containers with unidentified gases and liquids will also be banned from delivery.

It will be important to stay up to date on the latest shipping restrictions from the Chinese government in the upcoming months as they are in a particular state of flux. See this article for more detail.

Anything with China will be unusual until after the Olympics. I think we all realize this, and our customers do as well.

Noticing a higher scrutiny of UPS and small parcel deliveries as well. Descriptions of products we have always used now getting caught up in customs issues, with longer delay times.
