International Mail

Pricing for shipping methods is provided during the creation of the customs forms. Departments do not have to pay at the time of creating the form but do see the price and will be charged by Mail Services to the provided worktags.

International mail must be separated from your domestic mail. Packages being sent international will require a customs declaration form identifying content like books and papers.

The International Customs Forms must be filled out by the department prior to arriving at the mailroom. Follow the instructions to complete the form online using this link International Customs Forms - USPS.
