Q: Clearing a parcel sent from the US through USPS

Recently we ordered some equipment from the US. The first item, a pair of professional headphones worth around 1200RMB came via Fedex. Apparently, online purchase is not allowed for receiving in China, and so the Fedex agent advised us to either assign a broker [name supplied] or to import as a Company Sample. We c hose Company Sample, and received the goods.

The second item is a professional DJ Controller for music mixing, also from the US worth around 6000RMB. This was sent by USPS and arrived in China early April. 3 weeks later we received a letter from the China PS asking if we wanted to send the goods back, or import. If import, we had to give them Power of Attorney, and assign a broker. We of course tried to use the broker suggested by Fedex, but they cannot handle it. The Post office cannot suggest a broker, and they have not offered us the ability to import as a Company Sample.

What can we do? We do NOT want to send the goods back.

Q: When do you need to get a medical examination?

A: Your potential employer is right! Purpose of the Medical exam bef

A:Your potential employer is right! Purpose of the Medical exam before granting Z visa is to make sure, you won't be entering China in any abnormal and harmful to others condition.Few days after your arrival to China, you'll be required to complete another ME ... If ME in China will be OK, you'll get a Residence permit stamp into your book some 10-days afterwards. Imagine, you're an employer, who can sponsor my entry and work in China, but after my arrival to China would be found I carry some sickness, which would prevent Chinese .gov to issue a Residence permit. Rule is: Z visa should be converted into Residence permit in 30-days after entry to China. So, my advice is:"Complete ME in your home country and forward medical results to your employer".Z visa grant will follow shortly afterwards. Employer is not wrong at their demand for the pre-arrival ME from your home country hospital. -- icnif77
