How to send a package
1. Look
at what you plan to send and make sure nothing is prohibited. They will check the boxes when they arrive for security purposes.
2. How heavy
is the box. If the box is heavy it is more economical to use a priority mail flat rate box.
3. Fill
out a Customs FORM 2976-A. They are available at the post office. It will ask what is inside the box and about how much it
is worth.
4. Take
the box to the US post office with your customs form. They will attach the form to the outside of the box.
Helpful hints
- The post office will mail you the flat rate boxes and Customs forms for free. You can order them online
and they will be delivered quickly for no charge.
- Do Not overnight, sign on delivery, or next day air mail. The package will not get there any faster and
will only cause problems.
- I have had the best luck with Priority mailing packages. They take less time to arrive at the APO.
- You can mail a letter for the standard 41 cent stamp.
- Number your box so we know if he gets it or if it got destroyed on the way.
