Shipping to Fuzhou and northern Fujian
Fuzhou is the capital of Fujian Province, on the Min River near the coast. Its port serves northern Fujian, an area with strong links to overseas Chinese communities in North America.
Practical tips. Many families in Canada originate from Fuzhou and the surrounding counties, such as Changle and Lianjiang, and send goods home. Gifts sent to private individuals in China are taxed above a low value, so keep the declared value realistic and the packing list detailed. Commercial importers need China Customs registration.
Fuzhou is also a growing industrial city with electronics and textile factories, and commercial cargo is routinely cleared at its Jiangyin port. For consignees in Pingtan, the island facing Taiwan, Fuzhou is the closest destination in the tariff. Plan around Chinese New Year, when local transport stops for up to two weeks.
