Items That You Can Not Sell or Buy on China TaoBao

There are 36 items that China Taobao cannot ship internationally.

The Simplified List is a list that has been simplified.


The full list of prohibited items includes more than 30 types of categories; however, we are unlikely to order most of them from Taobao, so I selected 8 of the most common categories that we regularly purchase from Taobao to represent a representative sample.
Make certain that none of them are purchased directly from Taobao.

  • 1. Items that exceed the size and/or weight limitations:
  • Each forwarder has established a maximum weight and size restriction for the parcels they will accept; therefore, ensure that your package is neither too large nor too heavy.
  • 2. Consumption of food
  • Tea, instant noodles, bamboo products, and other similar items;
  • 3. Items that are liquid, paste, or powdered:
  • Perfume, lipstick, foundation, nail polish, pencils, pens, alcohol, thermometer, ink, and other cosmetics are examples.
  • 4. Knife and firearm
  • Survival knife, toy gun, and water bb gun are all options.
  • 5. A piece of electronic equipment
  • A humidifier, a rice cooker, an electric toy, a vacuum cleaner, and so on
  • 6. Items or parts that are magnetic
  • Magnets, audio equipment such as audio, motors, speakers, compasses, coils, and other similar devices are all used.
  • 7. Batteries and items that do not have a battery
  • Mobile phones, computers, power banks, watches, and lithium-ion batteries are all examples of electronic devices.
  • 8. Items that are branded, fake, replica, or counterfeit
  • Nike, Adidas, Gucci, LV, Chanel, Dior, and so on.

If you are unsure whether you will be able to ship an item, you can contact the forwarder, who will be able to assist you in determining whether the products you wish to purchase can be shipped to your country.

Leaving a comment below will allow me to check whether it can be shipped to your country, and I will respond once I have confirmed with the forwarder that it can be.

Concerning Authentic, Fake, or Replica Items


I'm aware that many of you shop on Taobao for fashion replicas and branded merchandise. If you're lucky, things might be fine for the time being, but that doesn't necessarily imply that it's a safe route. Following seizure and marking as or contrabrand, you will be forced to endure the nightmare of returing from warehouse to seller. As a foreigner trying to sell on Taobao, this is extremely difficult. As a result, my recommendation is to contact the seller directly via taobao or wechat and request that they ship directly to you.
