When you are shipping clothing or other kinds of personal items by international courier, generic descriptions will not be adequate. It is necessary to provide specific details about these items in a packing list to be given to your driver at the time of collection. Shipping personal items to another country can be a complicated process, but anyone who chooses Fast Lane as their parcel delivery service provider will find that our representatives are ready to help you make sure you are following the rules and will have a positive international shipping experience.
Before shipping a parcel containing personal effects to another country, it is a good idea to check with Fast Lane to find out just exactly what all of the requirements will be. For some countries, it is all relatively straightforward and simple. But with other destinations, there can be a few things that must be taken care of before parcel collection and delivery can take place.
When shipping personal effects parcels to Australia, for example, it is necessary to include a special form called an Unaccompanied Personal Effects Statement. In addition, a fee of AU $150 is often required for clearance processing. Parcel delivery to New Zealand has basically identical requirements, including the fee. The only difference is that the extra form is now called an Unaccompanied Personal Baggage Declaration. When shipping something of a personal nature to the United States, regular paperwork must be accompanied by a form referred to as a US Personal Effects Statement.
The good news is that none of this paperwork is incomprehensible. Fast Lane can answer your questions and provide you with all the guidance you need at each step of the way, so the process of arranging for a personal effects parcel to be delivered to another country by international courier can go as smoothly and quickly as possible. We are here to help you in any way we can, so no one should be intimidated by the thought of sending a parcel of personal effects to someone who lives in another country, no matter how complicated the process might seem at first glance.
