Before shipping an international package, you need to:
First:
Confirm the customs regulations of the destination country to ensure that the items you want to send are allowed and to check if there are any quantity restrictions.
For example, shipping dietary supplements to South Korea is limited to a maximum of 6 bottles per box, to Taiwan a maximum of 12 bottles per box, and to Macau the recipient must be a company with import qualifications. Understanding the regulations of the recipient country is crucial; failing to comply may result in the package being destroyed or returned.
Second:
Once you have confirmed the customs regulations, start by creating the shipping label. The first step is to ensure the recipient's address, name, and phone number are complete and accurate. This is important because if customs needs to contact the recipient for additional information for clearance or to pay duties, the local office of the courier company will contact the recipient. If they cannot reach the recipient, the package may be returned. Additionally, make sure to write the recipient’s full name; using a nickname could cause issues during customs clearance if the recipient needs to present an ID.
Third:
Next, fill in the weight and dimensions of the package accurately to ensure you get the correct shipping cost estimate. Regarding duties, when creating the shipping label, you can choose either to have the sender pay the duties (DDP, Delivered Duty Paid) or the recipient pay the duties (DAP, Delivered at Place), depending on your preference.
Forth:
After completing the shipping label, fill out the commercial invoice. Ensure that the packaging complies with regulations, then attach the shipping label and the commercial invoice to the package. . Finally, schedule a pickup with the courier company or drop off the package at a courier service center to complete the shipment.
