International Instructions

When sending your package, you will most likely have to fill out a customs form (you will for sure if you send it via the USPS). The form asks for the contents of the package, where it's going, the value of contents, etc.
When filling out the form, please be very general on the contents-even though the post service says to be specific. You don't have to list every single item. You can just say personal hygiene products, or books, candy, etc. You don't have to list specifically and it's better for me if you don't.

Also, you will have to say the value of the products. Say it is $0 and that it is a gift. If you must put a value, be sure it is under $20 because otherwise I could end up paying $100's in fees.

Be aware that it can take anywhere from 3 weeks to over a month to get a package. Always say you want it send via airmail, otherwise it will go by ship and could take 6 months or longer to get to me. There is an airmail that is cheaper and not expedited, so please feel free to send that method...it doesn't have to be the fastest way.
