Customs & Duties FAQs
Quick Overview
Boxit4me's Customs and Duties FAQs explain how to declare cross-border shipments and avoid delays. They advise listing items separately rather than using generic descriptions, declaring the price actually paid with receipts, and uploading documents early. Loose batteries and power banks are flagged as higher risk, while perfumes, aerosols and liquids depend on route and carrier rules.
