As our customers ask questions about international shipping we will continue to answer these questions on a regular basis.
First and foremost plan ahead. The ground shipping that you are accustomed to use for shipping within the United States does not exist for international shipping. There are documents to consider as well as shipping restrictions.
Think about distance, customs, oceans and foreign governments. You want to be able to plan that your package can arrive at the correct destination at the correct time. Customs both in the United States as well as customs in foreign countries can delay the delivery of a shipment.
Plan on having your shipment packaged professionally. Have a Commercial Invoice prepared professionally if you do not have someone on your staff who can handle this paperwork for you. Allow time for holidays that may occur in the country that you are shipping to. Also plan for weather delays, or equipment delays.
Consider the shipping laws in both the country that you are shipping from as well as the country that you are shipping to. There are laws as to what can be shipped both from and to various countries. The shipping service that you choose to use does not make these laws. It is the national governments that make these laws. As an example, jewelry may be prohibited from shipping to one country while another country welcomes all jewelry.
Documentation will need to be prepared for international packages as well as international freight shipping, Houston company notes. This goes for international freight shipping as well as international shipping of small packages. Freight companies in Houston, Texas as well as freight companies throughout the United States can offer advice.
When you have an item that is valued at greater than $2500 you will need to fill in a shipper’s export declaration that is used for international shipping. This form is regulated by the U S Census Bureau. If you have many small value items that total $2500, then you do not need this form. This form is only necessary for one single item that is valued greater than $2500.
You will need to prepare a Commercial Invoice when shipping anything but documents out of the United States. This Commercial Invoice will list all of the items that you are shipping internationally. You will need to put a price of the items that you are shipping. If the country levies duties and taxes on your shipment, these fees will be based on the value of the items that you are shipping.
When shipping internationally you should consider taking out valuation coverage in case of loss or damage for the items that you are shipping. Always keep your tracking number. This way, not only can you track your shipments progress on line, you will know when your package is delivered. If for any reason your shipment is delayed you will be able to call or email and answer any questions in a timely and quick manor.
