DHL, FedEx, UPS, TNT, EMS, OCS, and other express carriers require shipper/consignee details, package information, and customs data to process international shipments. These carriers operate under their own privacy policies and data protection frameworks.

Customs & Government Authorities

We are legally required to submit shipment data to customs agencies in China and destination countries, as well as relevant government bodies for export control compliance, sanctions screening, and border security purposes.

For services including FBA DDP fulfillment, Europe Trucking, and dedicated regional lines (Korea, Vietnam, Southeast Asia), we share necessary delivery information with local warehouse operators and last-mile delivery agents under confidentiality agreements.
