Customs Forms for USPS | Overview

When you send an international shipment, customs forms are a requirement. Every country's border control agency uses customs forms to help protect their borders and to assign duty fees and tariffs on incoming goods. The recipient of the good(s) typically pays for any duty fees.

Once printed, attach the forms to the parcel or place them in an enclosed pouch and attach that to the outside of the box.

US Postal Service Requirements

When you ship First Class International Mail to any destination, or ship Priority Mail International to Military Mail and U.S. Territories, the total value of the shipment cannot be more than $400.

If your total value is over $400, you will see this alert on the READY TO SHIP page.

In this case, you would need to adjust the declared value of the Product's Details in your Inventory Management, or depending on the package details, you could split the order.
