USPS Customs Form for Declaration and Dispatch Note
A USPS Customs Form is required when shipping packages internationally through the United States Postal Service (USPS). It details the package’s contents, value, and sender/receiver information, helping customs authorities process shipments efficiently.
Print this form in English using blue or black ink, pressing firmly so all information transfers to all copies. Complete the declaration fully and legibly; otherwise, the Postal Service™ may determine the package to be unmailable. A false or misleading declaration may lead to a fine or seizure of the item and additional penalties. You may add a translation of the contents in a language accepted in the destination country
