No matter what the reasons behind your international shipping needs, good planning and spotless organizational skills will keep you on top of things and trouble free. To help you get a head start, we offer you this clear-cut international shipping guide.
The first step you should take is to ask yourself what are you shipping and where to. This information is crucial for the whole shipping procedure depends on it. The shipping quote, duties and taxes fees, and pertinent international shipping documentation are all based on what kind of goods you will be shipping and where in the world are you shipping them to.
For this reason, it is important that you will take your time to accurately understand and describe the nature of the items you wish to ship abroad: what is/are the item/s? How many of each item are you shipping? What is/are the item/s made from? What is the item/s intentional use? What is the value of the item/s? Remember, upon this information you will be filling the relevant questionnaires and labels related to your international shipping. For instance, “200cmX170cm had-made 100% wool carpet for interior décor, $200” would be a more precise and comprehensive description of an item that just labeling something as “personal belongings, personal value”. When filling specific forms more detailed information like country of origin, serial numbers and/or number of parts of the item/s will be most likely required by the shipping company due to international shipping laws, so keep that in mind and prepare accordingly.
