customs

Hello everybody,
Hope this isn’t a silly question, but does a PO box address arouse suspicion with customs?

Hi ifap4.  I’m sure it doesn’t. Think about how many PO Boxes there are in every country who has them…there must be millions, private and business.  No one will bother about them just because they are a PO Box address.

Plus very small parcels are treated as letters so there is even less chance of them being looked at. When I sent my panties for PT verification to the US the parcel went as a letter so didn’t even need a CN22 label.

I haven’t personally posted to Oz but I’ve read on here that girls have and there have been no reported problems with customs.

Hope this helps and has eased your mind somewhat

Does anyone know what the biggest size parcel can be without needing a CN22 label?

If I’m just sending panties my jiffy bags are 6″ x 5″ if that’s any help.

Thanks Anna 😉

The typical size of bubble envelopes I use are:
6 x 9 or 6 x 8 and even though the post office said it did not need a CN22, I have had huge problems getting them through the Australian customs without one!   Sure the package had arrived, but had been opened and resealed with customs tape.

Canada is also quite hot, but the USA seem more relaxed.

The CN22 stickers are free, you can pick a load up at your local post office and you can fill them out and stick them on yourself. 

I am guessing the labels are not even read by customs half the time, the fact is that by NOT having one raises suspicion far more than if the envelope has the green sticker on it.

I have learnt the hard way. For ALL my orders going outside Europe I now put a CN22 sticker on it.  It is not worth taking the risk and not nice for the customer either when his order has been opened, or receives a letter asking him to go pick it up!

It never used to be this strict.  A few years ago I never used a sticker at all and everything got through.

However, security has been tightened worldwide so its best to play by the rules and more, to ensure the safety of your package, even if it does create you a little more extra work.

So no problems reported with PO Boxes but make sure you have your CN22 label on the parcel then, just to be sure…

Thanks Cinders

I don’t know if the USA is necessarily more relaxed. However, since 2001 we x-ray and “electronically sniff” mail. So where Canada and Australia might open to see what’s inside, here in the US they know without having to open the package.

Well ok then Clark, maybe not more relaxed but not as strict as Australia are.  Australian customs are really overboard with things entering the country.  Even when you fly there they spray disinfectant inside the plane before you get off! 

Also no plants, food or anything are allowed to enter the country so I guess that when unmarked packages come in they are prone to be inspected.

The USA seem to be more comfortable in accepting small packages, probably because they have their troops all over Europe – its like we are all buddies … but Oz are a law unto themselves 🙂

CN22 stickers all round whatever the weather will usually ensure your package will arrive safely no matter on how strict or relaxed certain countries are or what methods they use to scan packages!

Thanks for your help Cindy, Anna, and Clark!  smt
