Countries to mail to?

[tastykacie]

Hi ladies,
I was just wondering if there are any countries that you should definitely not mail products to?
I’ve only mailed in US and to Australia, but have spoken with people in a few other countries. I think it might be helpful to me, and to any other sellers if we had some sort of knowledge about where we can and cannot safely mail to.
Thanks.

Hiya,  even through my years of selling I have never really gotten an order from an “iffy” country.

Those that you should avoid are 3rd world countries as the package will be most likely opened and checked and probably the contents rummaged through.

Countries within the United Arab Emerates and other highly Muslim countries are usually best avoided too.

I have heard that Indonesia could be a problem as well but as I havent personally sent anything there I wouldnt know.

I think you just have to be prepared that any country outside your own is always a risk that anything larger than a letter may be opened by customs.  There is no actual 100 percent guarantee for anywhere.

Love Cinds x

Thanks for the reply. I just wasn’t sure if some countries were super strict on customs.

Basically if you have a small green CN22 customs label on it then it is almost guaranteed to get through most customs, however, if you don’t have a declaratiion sticker on it, then it is very likely it will be checked.

I usually write socks or gloves etc on it – just make sure that what you write tallies up with the weight because if customs think its “iffy” then it will be opened.

Any place that you are worried about or if you are sending something a bit more taboo than usual, just make sure you have no true reference to who you are.  It is unlikely that they would bother to trace it back, but with the explosion of new sellers lately, small packets might start to become targeted to routine checks. 

Whether sending panties is actually illegal or not, nobody knows, its a grey area – sending “filth” in the mail is illegal but does a worn panty come under that catagory? I guess every country has their own regulations anyway.

I often write a fake adress and company name on the “sender” part. Usually something like “Traditional handcrafts” or “Handmade ties” or something like that. So even if they wonder what is inside, it seems that it are samples of fabrics or little handcrafted items. Of course, there should be the “fabrics” or “clothes” or something like that written on the description as well. 😉

When I sent to Australia, I wrote clothing on the form, and it got there just fine. I was a bit nervous at first, but figured, it is clothing, so there shouldn’t be a problem. And even though it was a clear bag I sent it in, I folded the panties so you’d have to open the bag to tell if they were worn or not. So I guess I’m being cautious enough, at least from what I’ve read you should do.
