Shipping and Removals in Beijing

Shipping to Beijing should be a straight forward process through a shipping agency offering door to door service. Depending on where the cargo is originally from the transportation should take between four and eight weeks making a stay in short term furnished accommodation often necessary. Often it is cheaper to buy new furnishings in Beijing rather than pay for long distance shipping. For smaller and lighter items the fastest means of shipping to Beijing is with air transport although there are size and weight limitations which can be quite expensive.

 

It is a good idea to buy insurance on shipped goods which can be damaged in transport. Dog and cat expats in Beijing need necessary health certifications and need to be quarantined, often at the owners house, for thirty days. There is a restriction in the city centre on the size of dog making suburban areas popular with pet owners.
