More about shipping to China

While local specialty shops in Australia and parts of Asia carry these, the stock is often limited and marked up significantly. The Southwest 55 is designed for rugged terrain where brush-whacking is common, making it the preferred choice for those tackling the diverse landscapes found across China and Oceania.

The price gap between US and local retailers

Currently, the Southwest 55 retails for approximately $379 USD in the United States. During the February sitewide sales at US retailers, this price often drops to $300 USD. Compared to local prices in China or Australian specialty shops—which can exceed the equivalent of $450 USD—you are looking at a clear saving of $80 to $150 depending on your local currency fluctuations.

Shopping directly from the US is the most direct path to these savings. By using a tax-free us address, you avoid state-level sales tax in the US, keeping your initial purchase price as low as possible.

Shipping estimates for the Southwest 55

Before you purchase, it is essential to understand the logistics of moving a 55-liter backpack across the ocean. Use the following data to estimate shipping cost accurately.

The easiest way to get your pack to China

The most efficient way to handle this is to use a freight forwarder. This method bypasses the high costs of direct retail shipping and the limited shipping options provided by most US outdoor stores. Once your pack arrives at the US warehouse, the international shipping service handles the export paperwork for you.

To keep the process simple, wait for your tracking number from the US store and then log in to your dashboard to manage the final leg of the journey. If you are buying multiple items like tent stakes or dry bags, you can use the FAQ section to learn about package consolidation, which can lower your total shipping fee significantly.

Reducing the paperwork load

Choosing a reliable provider means you do not have to deal with US export declarations yourself. The warehouse team documents the contents, and you simply select the China delivery option that fits your budget. This is the simplest way to get premium gear without the administrative headache.

Customs and import rules for China deliveries

When you buy from US ship to China, you must be aware of the Personal Postal Articles Tax. For a backpack valued at $300 USD, it will likely fall under the category of sporting goods or bags. Keeping your total order value within the limits set for personal use is the best way to ensure a smooth clearance process.

Be sure to check the list of prohibited items if you are tempted to add accessories. Items like pressurized camping fuel canisters or certain survival knives cannot be shipped internationally and will be flagged during the inspection process at the US warehouse. Stick to the pack and basic apparel to keep the transit fast and predictable.
