Q: Can jewellery (3pcs) be shipped to China, as it's a gift, not for resale.

Some couriers won't accept the pickup, 2 necklaces and a pair of earrings.

Yes they can. You need to find a different courier and clearly state it is a gift on the paperwork.

 

Make sure it is a courier that has tracking as you'll want to see where it is during transit and trace it if it does not get delivered

Try the same courier and tell you are shipping Christmas tree decor ....

 

What does it mean 'not for resale'?

I mean, how can you prove that it won't get sold (for an eternity) to the custom?

 

You can't, so don't even mention it if you'll walk into China ....Custom offical will determine if items are for resale by quantity and confiscate them. 3 pieces of jewerly aren't 'resale' no.'. 

 

DHL regulations at import to China ( 3-8):

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
