It is often difficult to distinguish between sensitive goods and ordinary goods. In order to avoid treating sensitive goods as ordinary goods and being returned/detained, causing unnecessary losses, each of us can learn how to distinguish "sensitive goods" from "ordinary goods."
First thing to know! Sensitive goods are most accurately distinguished not by the weight of the goods, but by the composition of the goods.
1. Items containing liquids
Any product containing liquid, no matter what it is, as long as it contains liquid, is a sensitive product.
For example: mobile phone cases should be ordinary goods, but there is a kind of mobile phone case that contains liquid decoration, which is considered a sensitive product.
Common products: drinks, perfume, shower gel, etc.
2. Items containing magnets
Products containing magnets or pure magnets are sensitive goods.
General speakers or products that produce music contain magnets, such as music boxes.
Common products: headphones, radios, speakers, music boxes, etc.
3. Items containing batteries
Generally speaking, you should be careful with electronics or high-end products that use batteries. As long as your product has a built-in battery or is a pure battery product, it is a sensitive product!
Also note that some sellers will give away batteries without the buyer’s knowledge, so it is best for buyers to inform the seller in advance not to send batteries! Or notify the seller to help pull out the battery before shipping, which can also save the cost of sensitive goods.
Common products: watches, power banks, etc.
4. Branded or imitation brand items
Products containing international brands, whether genuine or counterfeit, need to go through sensitive channels.
International brands mean international brands that everyone is familiar with, such as Nike, Adidas, CK, etc. Also, please note that the Mi and HuaWei brands are already considered international brands!
Common international brands: Nike, Adidas, Mi, HuaWei, LiNing, etc.
5. Electrical appliances containing motors
Generally speaking, any electrical appliance that can rotate can be said to contain a motor.
Therefore, as long as the electrical appliance is plugged in or the battery is installed, it will rotate or move, so you need to handle sensitive goods!
