Customs forms are mandatory for all items sent internationally, including to EU countries, except for letters and documents. A physical customs form is still required for Parcelforce Worldwide, which can be picked up in branch.
When you ship items from the U.S. to another country, you must fill out customs forms (except for First-Class Mail International® letters and large envelopes under 15.994 oz): The form you need depends on the USPS® mail service you use (and the total value of what you send).
Please note that if the parcel also contains correspondence (i.e. a letter or a greetings card), you are not required to declare this on the customs declaration. You must complete all applicable fields, writing in English, French or in the language of the destination country.
You do not need a customs form if you're sending First-Class Mail International® that weighs under 15.994 oz. First-Class Mail International must contain only nonnegotiable documents or correspondence.
The short answer is yes. Customs checks all inbound international packages and mail. During this process, a customs officer in the country you're shipping to will review the package to make sure it meets the country's laws, regulations and policies. They will also determine what duties and taxes might be due.
