Customs Declaration

All items must include a mailing address, a return address and an Xpresspost U.S.A. barcoded label. Prepaid envelopes do not require additional labels. All non-prepaid must also include a Customs Declaration.

You require:

  • A detailed description of the contents
  • The country of origin (country where goods are manufactured) if possible
  • For items manufactured in Canada which are valued at $2,000.00 Canadian and over, the Province of Manufacture must be identified on the Invoice Declaration
  • Harmonized System Code if possible
  • Value of the contents (specify currency)

Parcels must also be accompanied by any document required by United States Customs regulations (invoice, license certificate, permit, etc).

For more information on Customs Declaration check the Customs Requirements section of the Canada Postal Guide.
