How do i ship large amounts of jewelry from china to canada?

Elizabeth, I would let the shipper handle all the shipping and tariff issues for you. As for the legal issues, if you aren' importing illegal items, just jewelry, there shouldn't be any. Probably all you would need to do is pay the fees required to facilitate the shipping from China to your declared address. While China isn't really anyone else's friend, they do want our dollars, so they are prepared to handle the complete transaction from packaging to shipping your order. As to the cheapest and more(sp) efficient, let the shipper give you the facts and figures. Depending on the size of your order, Container sized orders are by far the lowest costing by volume, but they come by boat and can easily take several weeks from order to delivery. Smaller orders can come by China Post (up to 30 days), or DHL, FED EX, UPS or another package shipper that may only serve Canada, in just a few days, and the prices will vary depending on tariffs and weight, so, again, check with the shipper for options. In other words Let The Shipper Do The Work. The Chinese know how to package and ship what they sell. All we need to do is buy it.
