China Post tracking numbers vary by service, but a common format is two letters, nine digits, and ending in “CN” (for example, RA123456789CN, EA987654321CN) Some services also use numeric formats of 11, 12, or 13 digits. You will find the China Post tracking number on your receipt, shipping label, or in the order confirmation. Enter it into our tracking tool to get updates on your parcel’s status.

To contact China Post for inquiries about parcels or postal services, you may try their domestic hotline 11183 or 11185 (for EMS services). From outside China, you can dial +86 plus the appropriate city code and 11183. If your parcel is already in the destination country and handled by a local postal service, you may also contact that local carrier for final-mile delivery issues.

You or your seller chooses a China Post service (e.g. Registered Air Mail, ePacket, EMS, Surface Mail), generates the shipping label, and receives a tracking number. China Post handles the domestic transit, export, customs clearance, and then hands off to the destination country’s postal operator for final delivery. Throughout the journey — pickup, sorting, international transit, customs, and handoff — scan events are recorded. These updates are consolidated, so you don’t need to switch between tracking sites.

China Post mails and parcels are dispatched daily, including international routes. You may check our tracking tool at any time to see scan updates, transit milestones, customs status, and delivery attempts. Because China Post works in coordination with many postal networks globally, tracking is unified even when delivery is handed off to local postal services in the destination country.

As your parcel moves through facilities, sorting centers, international transit hubs, and local postal offices, each scan is recorded and published. You will see timestamps, location changes, and status updates. For EMS (Express Mail Service), the tracking format usually begins with “E” followed by a letter, nine digits, and ends with “CN” (or “CS” in some cases). These services tend to be faster and more frequently scanned. If your parcel passes to a local carrier in the destination country, those delivery scans are generally reflected in the same tracking record.

China Post is the national postal service of China, offering a mixture of postal and express services. Popular services include Registered Air Mail, ePacket, EMS, and surface mail/parcel. EMS is the fastest among them and often takes 3 to 7 working days for many destinations. Other services are more economical but slower — transit times can range from one to several weeks or more depending on distance, customs, and local postal efficiency. To optimize tracking and delivery: use registered or tracked services, ensure the address and customs declarations are accurate, and select EMS or faster options if speed is important.

China Post is a state-owned enterprise and the principal postal operator in China. Over time it has expanded its parcel and logistics services, especially to support e-commerce exports.

Many sellers on platforms like AliExpress, Taobao, and others use China Post for its cost-efficient international shipping solutions. With China Post, you benefit from end-to-end visibility across international and domestic legs. From acceptance in China to final delivery via local postal systems, tracking is intended to be seamless and transparent, giving you confidence in your parcel’s journey.
