why we use such a screwed work flow?
1, save shipment cost.
2, if we go to DHL directly, they didn't accept this device, there is PSU and FANs in it, which is contraband. only these agent can send them out by doing some bribery work. if we tell them we are not satisfied, they simply ask us to deal with DHL ourself instead.
fuck
I suspect that you are not telling the truth here. China's DHL custom support states that they do not have any policy to determine what products can be export from China, but they follow the government regulation.
In accordance with China's customs, all you have to do is just to declare what you are exporting if you have a CR (Custom Registration) code.
That means DHL cannot directly refuse to ship the Avalon product if you declare to China's customs what you are doing.
Perhaps that explains why you need an additional agent paid by bribery to export your products. You are exporting electronic products without to declare to China's customs. Who possibly declares is your agent and that is why you are so persistent to not provide a tracking number for your customers.
http://www.dhl.com/en/express/shipping/customs_support/customs_paperwork/customs_guidelines_china.htmlAll importers and exporters in China are required to register with Customs authorities for an importer or exporter Customs Registration code (CR Code), or engage with an agent who has the CR Code and is authorized to act as the importer or exporter of record for their shipments. This CR code is to be indicated on customs declaration forms of all shipments, except for documents and personal effects. We encourage you to relay the urgency of these requirements (for both HS Codes and CR Codes) to your trading partners in China, as shipments being imported into/exported out of China may be placed on hold by Customs authorities until this information is available.
http://www.ec.cn/trade/declaration.shtmlCustoms Export Declaration
In many countries, export shipments valued below a minimum requirement may not require a formal customs declaration. The purposes of customs export declaration are to verify and regulate outgoing cargo (including re-export goods) and to collect the statistical data (of the product, quantity, value, and destination) for export references.
(...)
The exporter normally must sign an authorization paper (the power of attorney) allowing the customs broker or the forwarder to handle the customs declaration.
In certain countries, exporters may prepare the customs declaration forms by themselves and let the customs broker handle the rest of the customs formalities.

Good day.
DHL have no right to determine which cargoes can be exported from China. We always follow the policy in China.
