We would like to remind you of the regulations regarding the shipment of goods to the United States
Beginning January 1, 2022, shipments of goods that arrive at the United States Postal Service (USPS) without a completed customs declaration and without prior electronic information about the shipment and its contents will be returned to shippers in Poland. To avoid having shipments returned from the United States to Poland, please remember to include a properly completed CN 22 or CN 23 customs declaration with these shipments.
In accordance with the provisions of the Universal Postal Union, from 1 January 2021, the data provided by senders on shipments and the customs declarations attached to them are also sent by Poczta Polska to the countries of destination of the shipments electronically (in the form of an ITMATT message).
At the same time, in the United States, the "STOP" (Synthetics Trafficking and Overdose Prevention) anti-drug law came into force, which prohibits the USPS from accepting shipments from abroad with goods for which it does not receive, in electronic form, from the Post Office of the country of origin, the data placed on the shipments and the customs declarations attached to them before their arrival in the territory of the United States.
Poczta Polska reminds that the senders of all types of shipments with goods addressed to countries outside the European Union are obliged to complete and attach paper customs declarations CN 22 or CN 23.
Information on how to complete customs declarations can be found, among other things, in the leaflet issued for customers and on posters available at post offices.
