Why Sensitive Cargo is Difficult
Standard international courier channels reject battery and liquid products. Specialized channels for sensitive goods often have high prices, unstable transit times, and clearance risks.

- Air (battery products): ~¥28-35/kg
- Air (liquid/powder): ~¥32-38/kg

"Since launch, orders for our sensitive cargo line have exceeded expectations," said 8ship's operations team. "Battery products and cosmetics are the fastest-growing categories."
