Distinguish between general goods and sensitive goods
There are two types of goods: 'general goods' and 'sensitive goods'. General goods and sensitive goods are used to distinguish the inspection standards when exporting from China to other countries. If sensitive goods are shipped through general cargo channels, it may cause inspections to fail to clear customs and deliver goods smoothly. Users may delay receiving the goods, or need to repay sensitive channel fees before delivery.
