When sending parcels from the United States to Russia, we are necessarily faced with the need to fill out accompanying documents for customs services. This is due to the fact that the parcel can cross the borders of several states at once. And so that customs officers do not open all the parcels in a row in the search for prohibited items, relevant documents must be attached to the parcel. This refers to a declaration describing the content, which indicates the type of product, its quantity and price.

There is another important point: customs restrictions. According to federal customs service (FCS), each "An individual within one month has the right to duty-free receipt in international mail (IGO) of goods for personal use in an amount not exceeding 500 euros (starting from January 1, 2019) and weighing no more than 31 kg. " Simply put, customs officers are required to check the parcels for compliance with the limits, and the declaration greatly simplifies their work, speeding up the processing of parcels.

Why is it important to fill out a declaration correctly? Customs officers are strict people. They clearly follow service instructions. If any premise raises questions or suspicions, then it will be delayed to clarify all the circumstances. And it can last a long time. To avoid such delays, it is better to spend a little time on proper design customs declaration. Moreover, it is not very complicated.

Secrets and customs clearance rules ( except Boxberry)

Write to english language. Not in Russian, not in transliteration. Only english language. Use online translators if necessary. Imagine how ordinary an American would be surprised to see unfamiliar crooks in the accompanying documentation instead of the usual names. Of course, he will delay the parcel. Or even bring it back.
Use simple words for the description of goods (t-shirt, jeans, pants, skirt, coat, etc.). If there are 10 sweatshirts in your package, do not write “sweaters - 10”. Parcels may be assigned commercial status. It is safer to write "pullover - 4", "sweater - 3", "shirt - 3". To find other variants of words for product description, use the English synonym services. For example, this one.
Do not send more than 5 units of the same product in a parcel. It can be regarded as a commercial lot. And you have to pay tax.
Remove the names of famous brands from the description. There is no need to tease the customs officer with the words Rolex, Lego, Timberland, etc. Instead, simply indicate: watches, toys, shoes (watch, toys, shoes).
Never mention in a declaration apple brand. Any iPhone, iPod and other equipment can be listed as an electronic device. Or even a refurbished electronic device, if you need to explain low cost devices.
Do not indicate the size of clothes and shoes so that thieves cannot pick up a model that suits them when they see necessary information in the declaration. Indicate that clothing for women, children or men, is not necessary. That is, it is possible, but only if it’s more convenient for you. The impersonality of things is their best defense against dishonest people.
Describe each item in order to quickly find out what is missing if necessary. Similar accuracy helps when visiting customs, if such a need arises.
Be honest. Indicate in the declaration the price you paid for the goods. We can not recommend an underestimation of the value of goods in the package, leaving it at your discretion.
Do not use dangerous words (e.g. guns). For example, if the package contains a lighter in the form of a gun or a clock in the form of a grenade, it is highly recommended not to indicate gun lighter or grenade watch in the declaration. A customs officer will definitely respond to a dangerous word.
