Fill in all required information completely and accurately on the appropriate Customs Declaration Form. Read the instructions carefully before filling out your declaration form.

Attach your customs declaration form on the front of your shipment and make sure all information is visible and legible. Remember to sign the customs declaration form.

When using both an address label and a customs declaration, ensure the sender and recipient information is the same on both.

If you need help filling out the customs form or addressing your item please stop by the campus post office sales window.

Postal Services will pick up to department mail for international delivery during your regular mail stop. We will meter it and carry it to the USPS Williamsburg office as long as the appropriate customs form is attached.

All other mail will need to be dropped off at the campus post office or any local USPS branch.

If your shipment is valued at more than $2,500 or if you are shipping to any United States embargoed country (Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan and Syria), your shipment may require a license or other action before mailing. For more information, visit Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service International Mail Manual.
