Usage Requirements and Precautions
- Printed matter are handled the same way as letters and postcards, and are not recorded. If you need a record, please use the registered mail option service.
-
When sending items which may be subject to customs inspection, such as books and periodicals 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 and calendars as printed matter, 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 "Printed Matter" or "Printed Matter (registered)".
- Please write “Printed Matter” in the left upper corner of the address side of your postal item (in case there is a sender's address and name written there, please write “Printed Matter”under them).
-
When sending printed matter, in principle, it is necessary to be able to open the package to check the contents.
-
We will suggest the service you will need.
