Shipping Gifts

Shipping gifts require more work on the senders' side to ensure things go smoothly. Preparation is the key to getting the presents you want into the hands of those you love without the additional hassle. 

Unsolicited gifts require clearing customs and payment of all applicable duties and taxes. The gift receiver will not be responsible for paying customs charges as they would not have been responsible for completing the customs entry.  Items including chocolates, candy and other food products require extended review by a Partner Government Agency (PGA).

• ‍‍Trick 1: Using wallpaper to wrap your gifts is not only creative but also thicker than wrapping paper and will protect your gift even more during shipping.
• Trick 2: If you send multiple gifts, ensure that you wrap each gift individually and place it inside the box; this will make it easier to identify the number of items and contents when shipments go through Customs inspections. If Customs cannot identify the content clearly, they will open your package to determine the box's contents, which could ruin the wrapping you worked so hard on.
• ‍‍Trick 3: Ensure a protective layer is placed under the wrapped gifts when packing your shipping box. Filling boxes with styrofoam pebbles at the bottom, around, and on top of the gift inside the cardboard box will prevent the items from moving around during shipment, leading to no damaged goods.
