FIRST OF ALL CHECK YOUR PARCEL IS SAFE TO SEND TO AMERICA

The first step to getting your parcel to America is to check the items in your parcel are safe to send, so it’s recommended you look at which items are allowed.  Due to their rules regarding items such as food, It’s worth looking at the United States Postal Service page as there are some country-specific restrictions you should be aware of.

FIND OUT  THE TAX/IMPORT RULES FOR YOUR PARCEL’S CONTENTS

All countries have customs restrictions, and different rules when receiving items from abroad, and sometimes those items incur extra charges. If you’re just sending a family friend a football shirt and a knitted scarf, you’re not going to need to worry about any kind of import tax, however this isn’t the case for everything you might want to send in your parcel to America. It’s always worth checking their customs and border protection site to get an idea of the possible extra charges and to see if there’s any extra paperwork you need to fill in.

MAKE SURE YOU FILL OUT PRO-FORMA PAPERWORK
To send a parcel to the US you need to fill out a pro-forma invoice. This is required by law and tells US Customs what’s in your parcel. It’s important to fill it out properly, so that it whizzes through customs and gets to its destination as quickly as possible. Remember, you’ll need to print five copies of the invoice and attach it to the outside of your parcel in an envelope.

PACKAGE YOUR ITEMS APPROPRIATELY
For instance North America has a diverse climate which varies hugely depending on the location. So if you’re sending something to the scorching desert of Nevada, you’ll probably want to pack your items a little differently than if you’re sending a parcel to Alaska.  Your item might go through numerous depots and sorting facilities – so it needs to be strong!
