For international fans who want to support their favorite NBA team, purchasing an official Portland Trail Blazers basketball jersey from Chinese e-commerce platforms like Tmall can be challenging due to language barriers and international shipping restrictions.

Product Verification Tip
When purchasing NBA merchandise from China, ensure authenticity by:
- Requesting close-up photos of tags and NBA holograms before shipping
- Asking for seller reputation score (Tmall stores with 4.9+ ratings preferred)
- Comparing weight specifications - authentic jerseys typically weigh 300-400g
Additional Cost Considerations
Beyond the base price shown on Tmall (usually ¥250-600), factor in:
- Domestic China shipping: ¥10-25 (free for purchases over ¥300)
- International shipping: From ¥80 for basic air mail to ¥250 for expedited DHL
- Import taxes: Varies by country but typically 5-15% of declared value
Text from customer review: "The whole process took 12 days from purchase to delivery in Canada. CNFans helped me verify the exact sizing by comparing measurements against my current jerseys before shipping. Total cost was 40% cheaper than buying locally even after all fees."
- Jacob R., from Vancouver (purchased a #0, Dame Time jersey 2XL)
Getting Help with Your Order

For international fans away from Portland, CNFans makes officially Trail Blazers fandom accessible worldwide ensuring you can rep your team with authentic gear at prices you wouldn't find locally.
