Shipping to USA,
what's important

When making a shipping to USA you must take into account that these will be shipments outside the European Union. This means that your boxes, suitcases, containers or pallets will have to go through customs clearance. Now keep that in mind to understand the first tip:

Invoice

Every shipping to USA from Europe will go through customs clearance, no exceptions. It doesn't matter what shipping and transportation company you use. When shipping to USA it is mandatory that the shipments have the necessary documentation: Invoices (when your shipping your sold items) and pro-forma invoices (when shipping gifts, personal effects, etc.). This documents must include information about the sender and the receiver (National ID, full name,…), and details about the goods and their values before taxes. Without this data, customs will hold back your shipment and will apply taxes according to their standard values. Don't worry about the necessary documents, as we will help you during the whole process and when doing your shipments we will send this documents with the shipping labels. If you are a business, we will inform you of all you need to make a proper invoice.
