Customs & duties guide

Declared value matters

Customs handling is calculated from what you declare the contents are worth, not the shipping cost. Under-declaring to save money can get a shipment held at the border — declare the real value.

What's included automatically

Every quote already factors in a customs handling fee based on your declared value, so there's nothing extra to pay at pickup or delivery in most cases.

Packaging that keeps your quote accurate

Measure the box, not the item

Length, width, and height of the outer box — pricing uses whichever is larger: actual weight or dimensional weight.

Leave room to seal properly

A snug, well-taped box travels better across handoffs and borders than an overstuffed one.

Keep your tracking number handy

You'll get it the moment you pay — save it before you hand the box off.

Ready when you are
