Describe the contents and value accurately in customs documents

When a shipment requires customs documentation, use a clear description of the contents: item type, brand and model where useful, used condition and quantity.

Avoid vague descriptions such as “gift” or “accessory” when they do not represent the actual goods. Keep transaction evidence, declared value and accompanying documents consistent.

Forms, thresholds and requirements differ by country and service, so always verify the procedure for the actual route.
