Position in the Dimensional Weight Pricing Market Calculated by multiplying the (length x width x height) of package in inches and dividing the total by 139 If the DIM weight exceeds the actual weight of the shipment, you are charged the DIM weight price For example: a 3 lb. package to Germany that measures 12 x 12 using Fed. Ex’s Int’l Priority rates costs $101. 69 DIM Weighted the same shipment: 12 x 12 = 1728 / 139 = 12. 43 You would pay the 13 lb rate of $190. 92, an increase of $89. 23 The only USPS service that uses DIM Weights is GXG.

What is so difficult about International Shipping? Prohibited items Duties & Taxes Minimum Thresholds Brokers Customs Requirements Wait!!!!! It’s not that difficult! We’ll break it down and make it simple to understand. 27 USPS RETHINK SHIPPING ®

Before We Get To Customs Requirements… Lets help you understand more about country specific Prohibitions, Restrictions and Observations.

Duty, Taxes & Fees • A customs duty is a Tariff or Tax on the import of goods to protect jobs and industry in that country • Taxes • VAT (Value-Added Tax) or GST (Goods and Service Tax) • Other taxes i. e. PST (Provincial Sales Tax) • Collection Fee from Foreign Post • Duty fees are generally between 12 -20% of the product price.

Postal Customs Post Vs. Commercial Customs What are the benefits of post to post? Customers don’t need to have as much of a detailed description of the contents like they do with commercial clearance. Let’s look at an example. Commercial Clearance is much more complicated. For Example: Post to Post: Men’s Shirt Commercial: Men’s flannel shirt, 50/50 cotton polyester blend, made in the USA. GXG is the USPS’s only service that is cleared through commercial customs. 31 USPS RETHINK SHIPPING ®
