What are the differences between epacket and China Post Air mail?-trackingmore

Epacket and China Post Air Mail are often chosen by cross-border sellers to transit items. Now TrackingMore will tell you the differences between them. 

1. Epacket
Epacket is also called EUB, if you bought a item from a Chinese seller, they may give you a tracking number for epacket-ebay or epacket-aliexpress. EUB/ePacket is an international postal product provided by China Post to support international e-commerce. The ePacket Service is a agreement between USPS,eBay,aliexpress and China Post to offer eBay and Aliexpress sellers a fast but low cost shipping.

The advantages of Epacket are:
(1) Low cost, it cost 47￥ to transit a packge weight 0.5KG from China to US, while if you choose EMS, it will cost 85￥.
(2) Fast, usually it takes 7-20 days to delivered a package.
(3) Quality service, fully traceable packet.

Shortcomings of Epacket:
(1) The epacket service is only for package weight less than 2 Kg.
(2) The seller can only use EUB to transit item to limited places, such as US/Canada/France/UK/Australia/Hong Kong.

2. China Post Air Mail
According to an incomplete statistics, 70% of Chinese cross-border electricity packages are transport through the postal system. The biggest reason why cross-border seller choose China Post Air Mail is the low price.

Note:
(1) China Post Air Mail service is only for package weight less than 2 Kg.
(2) Usually it takes about one month to delivered a package, it is not suitable for urgent mail.

Clearance in Brazil is particularly strict, after the package has arrived the Brazil customs, the tracking information may not updated for half a month, it will only shows: "Curitiba / PR, Received by the Brazil Post, Object subject to inspection and delay on delivery." Means your package has arrived Brazil, and it is received by Brazil Post, the package is currently subject to customs inspection and it will be delayed on delivery.

Then how long this status will stay in general? Let's look at a few of tracking number contains this status.

Tips for smooth customs clearance.

1. Do not fill in fake information
The customs department will scan the daily mail, and the suspicious parcels will be opened. So we need to fill in the real information. Please note: 3C objects, watches, glasses will be focused on checking by the customs department.
2. The declared value and shipping
The small parcels sent to Brazil which is less than 50$, usually tax-free;
You need to fill in the real value of goods;
The imitation brand, electric goods can not be posted.

How to solve the problem of time?

If you choose the postal system to deliver your goods, you can't predict the exact delivery date, so you can choose other way such as Dedicated Logistics、EUB to transit your package.
If you have chosen postal system, the package will arrive Brazil in 3-4 weeks if everything goes well, 7-8 days later custms will release. But if you track your packages in trackingmore and it shows "delay on delivery", you need to notify the recipient and Brazil postal department to assist customs clearance.
