Usage Requirements and Precautions

  • When sending items which may be subject to customs inspection, such as goods with monetary value, customs declaration forms (CN22/CN23) and EAD transmission are mandatory. Such items must therefore be sent with labels created via the International Mail My Page Service*.
    Please note that especially when sending books, calendars and CDs/DVDs as letters, items may be subject to customs inspection in the destination country/territory and returned to the sender due to a missing customs declaration form or EAD. We cannot refund the postage on international mail items that are delayed or returned to senders owing to a determination made by the destination customs authority.
    • Regarding shipping type, please select "Letters/Other" or "Letters/Other (registered)".
