Hi Ranjan Ediriweera,

1. Reference cost of postal ocean parcels
China Post charges for ocean parcels based on actual weight or volumetric weight (whichever is greater). Sri Lanka belongs to the fourth group of countries (neighboring Asian countries).
Estimated reference (subject to the real-time quotation of the post office):

First weight 1 kg: about RMB 85

Additional weight per kg: about RMB 25

Total cost of 35 kg: ≈85 + (34×25) = RMB 935

(Packaging fees, fuel surcharges, etc. may be added, and the final cost is subject to the post office weighing)

2. Other matters needing attention
Volume limit: unilateral length ≤1.5 meters, length + width + height ≤3 meters.

Time limit: It usually takes 2-3 months to ship by sea to Sri Lanka.

Customs declaration requirements: It is necessary to fill in the English customs declaration form, declare the content of the items (such as "Garden Pillars"), materials and value (it is recommended to be cautious if the declaration is low).

Tariffs: Sri Lanka may impose tariffs on parcels, which must be paid by the recipient (you can check the Sri Lankan customs policy in advance).

3. Operational suggestions
