How to write your package content description
With the new international shipping, the content declaration will have to be detailed. Thus now you will have to add more information in the content box before generating your shipping labels. You will have to be specific on what the package contents.
More information on the content of the package will allow you to:
- Optimize security and safety screening of your package
- Avoid delay as your packages will not be held by Customs authorities
- Avoid your packages to be shipped back to you
All generics terms will be considered as unacceptable by the Customs. Your packages will face severe delays in the Customs or be shipped back to you.
Few examples of non-acceptable terms to add in the box "package content" :
Textiles > You will have to put such : Linen fabric, T-shirts, Wax fabrics, etc.
Oil > You will have to put : Mineral oil, Plant oil, etc.
Gifts > You will have to put : Gift card, baby doll, long silver necklace, etc.
