Hi anis,

Based on your request to use China Post from Harbin, I can provide you with detailed postage rates and shipping guidelines. The official China Post service you can use is called "International Air Parcel".

📦 Postage Rates to Malaysia
The postage for a China Post International Air Parcel to Malaysia is calculated by weight. Here are the cost estimates for parcels of different sizes:

Parcel Weight Estimated Postage (CNY) Details
1 kg 109.3 CNY 82.6 CNY (first 1 kg) + 26.7 CNY (additional kg)
5 kg 189.1 CNY 82.6 CNY (first 1 kg) + (26.7 CNY × 4 additional kg)
Maximum 20 kg Up to ~ 600 CNY 82.6 CNY + (26.7 CNY × 19 kg)
Key points to remember:

Price Breakdown: The cost includes a base rate for the first kilogram and an additional charge for every extra kilogram or part thereof.

Package Types: If your items are very light (under 2 kg), they may qualify as a cheaper "Small Parcel". The rate starts at 5 CNY for the first 50g, plus 0.07 CNY for each additional gram.

Slower, Cheaper Options: China Post also offers more economical but slower services like SAL (Surface Air Lifted) and Surface Mail. For example, the first 1 kg of an SAL parcel costs 67.9 CNY.

📝 How to Send Your Parcel
To send your parcel from Harbin to Malaysia, follow these general steps:

Visit a China Post Office: You must go to a local China Post office in Harbin to mail an international parcel. They will provide the necessary forms and confirm the exact postage.

Prepare Your Parcel:

Pack Securely: Pack your items in a sturdy box. The post office may offer packaging services for a fee.

Fill Out Forms: You will need to complete a customs declaration form (CN23) detailing the contents and value of your items.

Address Correctly: Write the recipient's address in Malaysia clearly in English. Include your return address in Chinese.

Choose Services:

Registered Mail: It is highly recommended to pay extra for registered mail with a tracking number. This allows you to monitor your parcel's journey. Basic, unregistered "Ordinary Packets" can be very difficult to track once they leave China.

Insurance: Consider purchasing insurance for valuable items.

⚠️ Important Considerations Before You Go
Check Restrictions: Before packing, confirm that none of your items are on Malaysia's prohibited or restricted import list (e.g., certain chemicals, animal products). You can check with the post office or search online for "Malaysia customs prohibited items."

Prepare for Customs: Your parcel will go through Malaysian customs. The recipient may be contacted to pay import duties or taxes if the parcel's declared value exceeds a certain threshold.

Delivery Time: From China to Southeast Asia can take several weeks.

💡 Alternative for Urgent or Valuable Shipments
If your items are urgent, valuable, or you require door-to-door tracking and faster delivery, you should consider a private courier like DHL, FedEx, or UPS. They offer delivery from China to Malaysia in 1-3 days. You can get a quick cost estimate online using their shipping calculators.
