credit card decline:
- There are not enough funds on your card.
- The credit card is not open to international
transactions (non-US credit cards
only).

security measures on your
card.
Because the issued bank will not provide us detailed information as to why your credit card was declined, we suggest you contact your bank directly to check and solve the possible issues.

A detailed packing list with item name, quantity, and value is always required by customs department of both export and import country.
If you are travelling and sending your used personal effects or sport equipment ahead, the customs of destination country may require your passport, visa, and travel itinerary copies to confirm the goods are intended for personal use and have no commercial value or are not intended for other purposes. In most cases, this will allow used personal effects to enter the country without customs delay.
Occasionally, the customs of the destination country may ask for additional documents based on the item(s) you are sending. We recommend our customers to fully comply with customs in order to have the shipment cleared and delivered as promptly as possible.
Please contact us at 1 888 906 3909 or email us at cs@shiptobox.com if you have any question.
Any international shipment is subject to customs clearance and may be levied duties, taxes and/or related customs fees by the customs of destination country regardless of the shipment purpose and value. Please be advised ExpPackage shipping fee DOES NOT include duties, taxes and related customs services fees. Customer is responsible for any duties, taxes, and related customs charges if applied (such as storage fee, brokerage fee, etc).
If any duties, taxes or related fees are due, you will be contacted by the local shipping carrier. If for any reason the call is missed or cannot be reached, you may need to contact the local carrier directly for payment instructions.
There are few instances where our carrier partner will pay in advance the due fees to customs to have the shipment released and avoid further delays, if customs allows. When your shipment is dispatched for delivery, the customs charges need to be reimbursed to carrier before your shipment can be finally handed and delivered to you.
If your shipment is time sensitive, we suggest planning
in advance, shipping at
least one week before your travel, or contact us. There
are many reasons that triggers customs delay, such as:
1) Missing or incomplete customs document(s)
2) Customs investigation or inspection
3) Requesting further information or document(s) from
consignee
4) High volume of shipments for clearance
5) Due payment (applied duties and taxes and related
custom services fee)
ExpPackage team will
monitor every shipment and timely communicate with the
carrier and customer for any customs delay. Please

1 888 906 3909 or email us

Any international shipment is subject to customs clearance. A detailed item list with item name, quantity, and value of your shipment is required by customs departments of both export and import country.

Please contact us at 1 888 906 3909 or email us at cs@shiptobox.com if you need further assistance.
If you travel and send your used personal effects or
sport equipment ahead, the
customs of the destination country may require a copy of
the consignee passport and
visa to confirm the goods are intended for personal use
and have no commercial value
or are not intended for other purposes. In most cases,
this will allow personal
effects to enter the country without customs delay.
You can upload your passport and visa copy in order
details page, passport information part.
If you are not comfortable providing us these documents, you may omit it and provide it directly to the local carrier if it is required.
If you travel and ship your used personal effects or sport equipment, we recommend our customers to provide the travel itinerary to the customs authority. Clearing personal effects through customs is different from clearing a commercial shipment. The customs authorities will require proof that the owner of the goods intends to remain the owner. The easiest and quickest way to demonstrate that you intend to remain with the items is to show that you have travelled with them, or plan to do so in the future.
You can upload and fill in your travel itinerary in order details page, travel itinerary part.
If you are not comfortable providing us this information, you may omit it and provide it directly to the local carrier if it is required.
