for US shipping. Prior to sending your parcel, check the US Customs website to

Guidelines for Completing a US Commercial Invoice
The commercial
invoice is crucial. Our booking process simplifies completing this document,
but remember to include:
·
Comprehensive
contact information for both the sender and recipient. If customs need more
information or there are issues with clearance, they will contact the
recipient. Ensure all details are accurate, including a US phone number and
email, to avoid delays.
·
Detailed item
descriptions: List each item separately, including its value, material, and
intended use. This helps US Customs understand the parcel contents and speeds
up the inspection process.
Understanding Import Taxes and De Minimis Thresholds
Shipments valued
under $800 (approximately £586*) to the USA are exempt from duties or taxes.
Parcels worth more than $2,500 (around £1,834*) will undergo formal clearance,
possibly adding an extra day or two to delivery times. Keep this in mind if
timely arrival is critical.
