If you are moving to China soon, it is important to start planning ahead of time for there are a number of regulations and steps to be understood and taken before you move. Luckily, with the help of Monarch International Moving’s movers and packers in Toronto, ON, here are some tips and guidelines to get you started on preparing for your move.

Required Documents

• Inventory List
• Photocopy of Shipper’s Passport
• Authorization Letter

When moving, all ordinary household goods, new and used, are exempted from import tax and duty. But dutiable items include tobacco, cigarettes, and liquors. Nonperishable foods in cans or durable packages may be shipped at small quantities.

Restricted and Prohibited Items

• Drugs
• Firearms, ammunition, explosives (Can be imported with only a possession/ dealer’s license from Royal Hong Kong Police Force.)
• Pornographic Materials
• Plants, trees, fruits, and vegetables

If you are shipping firearms, ammunition, etc. with a license, ship these separately from your household goods so they do not slow down the shipment at customs.

Vehicles

Must comply with exhaust and noise emissions standards. Must receive approval from the Environmental Protection Department before shipping. Does not require customs tax but must be lodged with the Customs and Excise Department for a complete declaration within 14 days of importation.

You must complete the following:

• Import Return CED 336
• Declaration Form CED 336A

You will receive a Notification of Motor Vehicle Provisional Taxable Value; your vehicle will need to be registered and receive licensing.

Pets

Dogs and cats cannot be imported without a Special Permit. Animals will need to be vaccinated against rabies and have a clean bill of health as well as other vaccinations.
