Important Tips

• Customs Forms: Depending on the destination, the CommerceShip App may prompt you to fill out additional customs forms. These are necessary for international shipments and must be attached to your package.
• Label Placement: Attach the label securely to the package. Ensure it’s fully visible and not covered by any packing tape or other materials.
• Record Keeping: Keep a copy of all transaction details and tracking information for your records.

By following these steps, you can ensure your international shipments are processed smoothly and efficiently.
