J.A. Collection Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 I get things all the time from overseas and they all put "GIFTS" as items in the package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MK1414-migration Posted July 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 Thanks for the tips.I had my wife put collectibles. I did learn you need to check the shipping rules/laws of the country you're shipping to.I found out you may not send gold,silver,gem stones,coins or paper currency by express mail to Taiwan.But priority mail or 1st class is fine.Why?Beats me.

Did you find that on the USPS website? Just curious, so I know where to look myself if I send overseas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MK1414-migration Posted July 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 I started to do an online customs form,to see what info they wanted.On this form it suggested to check for restictions.I picked Taiwan and started reading. I'm sure you could find it on the USPS site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeewool Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 Packages are often opened at customs..... both ours and theirs...... (what is wrong with telling the truth)? I would also recommend using registered mail only when shipping internationally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MK1414-migration Posted July 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 I know they get opened.I was just worried about the notes being removed/stolen and the package being del with nothing in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
