Royal mail customs labels
Royal Mail offers a range of customs labels that can be used to declare goods being sent internationally. Here are some of the most common types of customs labels offered by Royal Mail:
- Customs Declaration Form (CN23): This is a paper form that must be completed and attached to the outside of the package. It provides details of the goods being sent, including their value, weight, and contents.
- Customs Declaration Form (CN23) with barcode: This is a paper form with a barcode that can be scanned at Royal Mail's sorting offices. It's similar to the standard CN23 form but with the added convenience of a barcode.
- Electronic Customs Declaration (e-Customs): This is an online service that allows you to complete and submit your customs declaration electronically. You'll need to create an account and pay a fee for each declaration.
- Royal Mail International Tracked and Signed (IT&S) label: This label includes a customs declaration form and provides tracking and signature on delivery.
- Royal Mail International Signed label: This label includes a customs declaration form and provides signature on delivery, but does not include tracking.
When to use each label:
- Use the CN23 or CN23 with barcode label when you need to declare goods being sent internationally and don't want to use an electronic customs declaration.
- Use the e-Customs service when you need to declare goods being sent internationally and want to use an electronic customs declaration.
- Use the Royal Mail International Tracked and Signed (IT&S) label when you need to track the package and ensure signature on delivery.
- Use the Royal Mail International Signed label when you only need to ensure signature on delivery, but don't need tracking.
Remember to always check the Royal Mail website for the most up-to-date information on customs labels and requirements.
