Usage Requirements and Precautions

  • A customs declaration form (CN22/CN23) must be affixed to postal items containing articles with a declarable value, such as books and periodicals, that may be subject to customs inspection by the destination country. (For details of the conditions in each country, please check "the conditions of sending by country" (in Japanese only).)
    When sending such items, EAD transmission are mandatory. They must therefore be sent with labels created via the International Mail My Page Service*.
    • Regarding shipping type, please select "Letters/Other" or "Letters/Other (Registered)".

International Mail My Page Service

Creating an address tag using the International Mail My Page Service label

  1. Insert the issued shipping label into the dedicated pouch.
    • Do not insert yet attached documents, such as CN23 customs declaration or invoices.
  2. Attach the pouch so that the address tag is pinched in between.
  3. If there are any attached documents, such as CN23 customs declaration or invoices, fold them twice and insert them into the pouch. In this case, make sure that the shipping label is not hidden inside the pouch.
    • The seal of the pouch will be closed at the post office upon submission.
