Because electronic cigarettes contain batteries, and batteries are prone to generate flammable gases during international transportation, which threatens the safety of aircraft. In order to ensure the safety of aircraft transportation, domestic express companies regard batteries and battery items as prohibited items and prohibit transportation.
However, if you can transit from Hong Kong and take advantage of Hong Kong's looser policies, you can delivery electronic cigarettes to foreign countries. For example, logistics such as Dutch post parcels, Russian special lines, Japan special lines, and American special lines, which are transshipped from Hong Kong to the destination, can be delivery to foreign countries. Commercial couriers such as DHL, Fedex, and UPS are prohibited from transporting electronic cigarettes and other electrical items.
In addition, it should be noted that some countries do not allow the import of electronic cigarettes. When delivery, you need to pay attention to whether the electronic cigarettes comply with local customs policies. For example, according to Japanese customs policy, only two electronic cigarettes can be imported at most, and if the number is too large, it will be request to return the parcel.

Consideration factor 1. Whether the expected delivery time of the goods is consistent with your own requirements
Although the Japanese special line is a good transport scheme for goods to be delivered directly from the current region to the destination、 the main means of transportation and specific driving routes used by the Japanese special line developed by different logistics enterprises are not identical. Therefore、 when choosing the special line in Japan、 enterprises need to confirm the expected delivery time of goods to the logistics enterprises that provide the route in advance. If they find the special line that takes a relatively long time to transport goods、 they should try to avoid it.
Consideration 2. Whether there will be additional costs after the goods are delivered to the destination
Because the charging standards and cooperation process rules of logistics enterprises corresponding to different Japanese special lines are not completely consistent、 some logistics enterprises even require the pickup person to pay a certain service fee after successfully delivering customers' goods to the destination. Therefore、 when choosing the Japanese special line、 the enterprise must understand the charging system from the logistics enterprise in advance、 including whether there will be additional charges during the delivery of goods or after the goods are delivered to the destination、 so as to avoid the impact on the process of goods delivery due to the lack of consensus on costs.
The operation mode of shipping to Amazon warehouse in Europe is as follows:
Air transportation+local delivery at the destination、 the freight company collects a certain amount of goods、 the first flight package board flies to the city near the Amazon warehouse in Europe、 Germany、 and the customs clearance company of the freight company completes the customs clearance、 and then the express company delivers the goods to the warehouse; This method is less effective than the first one、 but the freight rate is economical.
