Notes on International Shipping

Before sending your first international shipments, make sure to do your research. There can be nuances for these shipments as they pass through various customs checkpoints in different countries with different methods for handling.

There are limitations on deliveries to PO box addresses for DDP postage options. You will need to select our DDU option to gain access to postage for these types of addresses.

Prohibited Items

You should know that there are items that Chit Chats is unable to ship and other items that specific countries do not allow the import of. Additionally, our partner carriers for international shipments have set their own standards for prohibited and restricted items based on their transport methods.

For example, only documents can be shipped with USPS First Class Mail International.


Address Formatting

Each country has their own set of rules for how you should format a delivery address. Buying postage in your Chit Chats account eliminates much of the guesswork but it’s best to double-check the address with your recipient and the formatting rules in the destination country.

International Customs

Shipments bound for international destinations may be subject to customs inspections, customs duties and taxes. For example, shipments to Australia which exceed $1000 AUD may require formal customs clearance which is subject to additional fees. Some destinations may also require you to provide additional customs information such as a CN22 form. 

All Chit Chats International Tracked shipments are considered as merchandise on customs declarations and are not suitable postage options for gifts. If you wish to send a gift to an international recipient, we recommend using one of our USPS International postage options.

HS codes are required for USPS international shipments & military addresses using USPS postage. Find useful resources on HS codes on https://chitchats.com/blog/eu-customs-2023our blog. While HS codes are not mandatory for Chit Chats International Tracked shipments we highly recommend adding this in the available optional field as this is becoming more of a standard requirement. Adding an HS code is beneficial as it does help make the customs process easier and minimize potential delays to your shipment’s transit.

Tracking & Delivery

You can track your shipment on our tracking portal using your shipment ID or carrier tracking number on the carrier's tracking page. Our international partner carrier, Asendia, also provides a secondary tracking number which can be used to find your shipment on the tracking page for the postal operator in the destination country (see above table). Find more helpful resources for tracking your international shipments here.

If there is a complication with the delivery of your shipment, the carrier in the destination country may try to contact the recipient by phone number to confirm any details required for delivery or to notify of any outstanding duties or taxes.

Returns

Due to the complicated nature of transporting international return shipments, return service is only available for our USPS International postage options.
