At the moment, I am mulling over a possible job offer in China. However, can anyone tell me if its possible to ship personal effects (all used and now second hand). I am not so concerned about the logistics of such a move but more interested if there would be import duties etc to be paid.

After all is said and done, if there were heavy restrictions then it would make more sense to sell here and repurchase in China

Sorry mods if this is the wrong forum, please feel free to move if so needed

Are you moving with the assistance of a US company, based in China, or a Chinese company? Too, are you going to be employed as an expat or a "local hire of a foreign national"?
