Usage Requirements and Precautions
- Please write the recipient's address directly on the package of your postal item.
As a printed matter is a standard mail similar to letters and postcards, it is not registered. If you want your postal item to be registered, please use the optional service of “Registered Mail” or “Advice of delivery”. - 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.
-
A customs declaration form (CN22/CN23) must be affixed to items containing articles with a declarable value, such as books and periodicals, that may be subject to customs inspection.
Please note that especially when sending books and calendars as printed matters, items may be subject to customs inspection in the destination country/territory and returned to the sender due to a missing customs declaration form.
