When sending goods in international postal items, it is necessary to issue a customs declaration in which it is necessary to indicate the list of enclosures in the parcel.
According to the requirements of the customs authorities, when filling out the customs declaration, it is necessary to indicate a detailed, accurate and complete description of all the goods that are enclosed into the parcel.
In the absence of detailed information on the goods that are sent or if the information is inconsistent with the actual, the time that is spent on customs procedures for such items is significantly increased because of the need for a detailed customs inspection and processing of documents on its results.
The customs duties and taxes are not payable on condition that the total value of goods which are sending in international mail to one recipient does not exceed the maximum amount for duty-free importation, which is established by the current legislation of the country of destination.
