 Now that the UK has left the EU, the rules for posting outside of the UK have changed. All countries now require customs forms to be attached to international items. Here’s a handy guide to help you get your post where it needs to go

Yes, if you’re sending a parcel anywhere outside the UK, except if you are sending from Northern Ireland to the EU. You can get all the customs forms you need here or in-branch. Find one near you with our branch finder.

Here are a few things to remember:​

Packages worth up to £270: Make sure you include a completed and signed CN22 label. Put it on the front of the item, as near as possible to the top left hand corner – just don’t cover up the address

Packages worth over £270: Include the top part of the CN22 and a CN23 form in a plastic wallet (SP126)

The sender is legally responsible: Under Customs Law, the sender is legally responsible for the information on the declaration. So, it’s in your own interest to make sure you complete it accurately and in full. Got questions? Just ask a member of staff in branch

You’ll need to sign to confirm that the item you’re sending doesn’t contain anything restricted by postal regulations​

The best way to make sure your letter reaches an international destination is to visit your local post office and ask about their requirements and restrictions. For example, if you’re mailing by First-Class International Mail or using a Priority Mail International Flat Rate envelope, you don’t need to fill out a customs form. For all other letters, complete a customs form online or at the post office. You should also weigh your letter, as this will help you find out how much postage is needed to mail it. Once you know the weight, use the USPS’ price calculator on the USPS website and buy the necessary postage at the Post Office.
