Sensitive goods and ordinary goods often make it difficult to distinguish. To avoid being returned/detained for sensitive goods as ordinary goods and causing unnecessary losses, each of us can learn how to distinguish between "sensitive goods" and "ordinary goods".
First of all, you need to know! Sensitive goods are not distinguished based on their weight, but rather based on their composition for the most accurate identification.
1. Items containing liquids
Any product containing liquid, regardless of its type, is considered sensitive as long as it contains liquid.
For example, phone cases should be regular goods, but there is a type of phone case that contains liquid decoration, even if it is sensitive goods.
Common commodities: drinks, perfume, shower gel, etc
2. Items containing magnets
Products containing magnets or pure magnets are considered sensitive goods.
General audio systems or products that produce music contain magnets, such as music boxes.
Common products: headphones, radios, speakers, music boxes, etc
3. Items containing batteries
Attention should be paid to electronic or high-end products that are generally operated by batteries. As long as your product has built-in batteries or pure batteries, it is a sensitive product!
Also, it should be noted that some sellers may give away batteries without the buyer's knowledge, so it is best for buyers to notify the seller in advance not to send batteries! Or notify the seller to help remove the battery before shipping, which can also save on sensitive goods costs.
Common products: watches, power banks, etc
4. Branded or counterfeit items
Products containing international brands, whether genuine or counterfeit, need to go through sensitive channels.
The meaning of international brands is generally familiar to everyone, such as Nike, Adidas, CK, and so on. Also, please note that Mi and HuaWei brands are already considered international brands!
Common international brands: Nike, Adidas, Mi, HuaWei, LiNing, etc
5. Electrical appliances containing motors
Generally speaking, rotating electrical appliances can be said to contain motors.
So as long as the electrical appliances are plugged in or have batteries installed, they will rotate or move, so it is necessary to handle sensitive goods!

So as long as it involves religious books, supplies, clothing, props, etc., they all need to go through sensitive channels.
Of course, if it involves insulting religion, cults, and other products, it is prohibited.
Common products: religious books, ritual props, religious CDs, etc.
