UPS Customs forms: After you print them out, where do they go?

[DotheDamnTHing]

After you print out the three forms, do you affix them to the package? or what?

Thanks

Yup. Shipping companies usually have these plastic bags that they put them inside and then stick the bag to the package.

No, there is no other way. You might be able to get away with taping a freezer bag to the side of the package. But you must have the CI's in a plastic sleeve, packing list envelope, or baggie on the outside of the package. No exceptions.

Also, make a copy for your records as well in case the package gets stuck in Customs. That way you can edit the form if Customs advises so.

Amusingly, I've sent things every-which-way through customs, to and from all kinds of countries. I've never once seen the seal on one of those sleeves broken.

Oh, and if you're doing USPS, you can go ask for the pouches - they're free. UPS too, maybe. I don't recommend using the USPS pouches for a UPS shipment, though, because using free USPS materials for anything but USPS shipping carries some sort of federal penalty (and these sleeves are marked as such)
