FAQ

Common questions

Is AlibabaTrack an official Alibaba product?+
No. AlibabaTrack is an independent reference hub — we are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by Alibaba Group. We built the tools and guides for buyers who source across Alibaba.com, 1688, Taobao, Tmall, AliExpress, and Cainiao, so you get tracking, freight planning, and customs guidance in one place. We don’t sell freight forwarding, but we do run a China buying agency that purchases on your behalf and consolidates shipments. Our tracking and planning tools stay independent, so you can compare options before you commit.
Do I need an account to track a shipment?+
No. Tracking is open and free. Paste a tracking number, Master B/L, or carrier name and the result appears without sign-up.
Where do the duty figures come from?+
From published de minimis and tariff schedules for each market. They are planning references that can change, so check the current rate before you book.
How do I book freight through AlibabaTrack?+
AlibabaTrack runs a China buying agency that purchases from 1688/Taobao on your behalf and consolidates your parcels — see our Sourcing Service. For pure freight, the Partners directory points you to vetted carriers, and the planning tools help you estimate volume, transit, and duties first.
