Books and printed material abroad
Heavy but simple: use economy and a snug box.
Books are heavy for their size, so cost rises quickly. They are otherwise among the simplest goods to send.
Tips
- Use economy services unless urgent.
- Pack in a small, strong box with no empty space.
- Pack in plastic against moisture.
- Declare quantity and a fair value.
Check
- Some countries restrict certain content or maps.
- Textbook reprints and used books follow the same rules as other goods.
