International shipping can be challenging. Every country has its own set of rules that must be followed for customs clearance and final delivery. At Pak Mail, we have the experience and special knowledge to ensure your package will enter the country for successful delivery. In the rare event of a problem, we work with the delivery carriers to make any necessary changes to make the delivery happen for you. At Pak Mail El Dorado Hills, we simplify the process by helping you to complete the necessary forms to make international shipping as easy as mailing a letter.
Customs forms aren't the only headache when shipping internationally. There are specific and varying item restrictions for sending your package overseas. If the rules are not followed, it could mean long delays in delivery. Check out the list below for a few general but helpful pointers.

1. Batteries must be removed because electronic devices can inadvertently go off while in transit. They just don't want things ticking, vibrating, our making any kind of noise like clocks or radios. Other prohibited items include hazardous or flammable material, (including cologne), aerosol cans, firearms, furs, perishables, plants, tobacco and liquor to name a few.
2. Avoid sending anything that will melt such as chocolates. Also, it is recommended to be sure very fragile items are packed to avoid damage. The shipping process may take multiple truck loads and unloads increasing the risk of damage.
3. International shipping can be expensive depending upon the speed of service, distance, weight and package dimensions. When possible, select lightweight items for shipping. Packages less than 4 pounds are the most economical to send. Keep in mind that the box and packing materials also add to the total weight of the shipment.
