Importing/Shipping from China, any issues?

Are there any specific issues with shipping gear to/from China and US that either party (manufacturer/buyer) should know about in advance? I assume the shipping side completes forms at the point of shipment but that assuming the gear is standard audio components, there are no problems. Shipper (from China) asked me if there were any specific recommendations to provide from the US side. Anyone have input?

Thanks Joeylawn36111 -- I appreciate the input. Anyone try sending stuff the other way (US to China)?

Just make sure you use a good shipping outfit like USPS, FedEX, or DHL, and you should be fine. Presuming the shipper (be it you or them) do the aforementioned paperwork, all should go well. Ideally, the USPS is the best method to ship, so if your parts are not so large/heavy, they are far and away your best bet - good delivery time, no hassles in terms of brokerage fees, etc., and from my experience, safe handling.
