Frequently Asked Questions

International mail forwarding is a service that allows individuals and businesses to have their mail and packages received at one address and then forwarded to another address anywhere in the world. This service is especially useful for expatriates, international shoppers, businesses with global operations, or anyone needing a presence in a foreign country without physically being there. Once you sign up for the service, you’re given a local mailing address in the country of the service provider. When your mail arrives, the forwarding service then sends it to your actual international address based on the forwarding schedule you’ve chosen.

Yes, most international mail forwarding services offer flexible options that allow you to choose how often your mail is forwarded to you. You can usually opt for a set schedule (e.g., weekly, bi-weekly, monthly) or request on-demand forwarding. Additionally, you can specify different forwarding addresses if needed, giving you complete control over where your mail goes, whether it’s your home, office, or even a temporary address while you’re traveling.

While international mail forwarding services can handle most types of mail and packages, there are restrictions based on the laws of the destination country. Items that are often restricted include hazardous materials, perishable goods, illegal substances, and certain electronics. The forwarding service will usually inspect packages to ensure compliance with international shipping regulations and destination country laws, so it’s important to check with your provider about specific restrictions.

Yes, at GetMyUSMail.com, we allow clients the flexibility to declare their own tax value for international shipments. This means you can specify the value of your items as you deem accurate for customs purposes. However, it’s important to understand that by doing so, you assume full responsibility for ensuring the declared value complies with the customs regulations of the destination country. Incorrect declarations can lead to delays, additional fees, or penalties during the customs clearance process.

 

The cost of international mail forwarding services varies depending on the provider, the volume of mail, the frequency of forwarding, and the destination country. Most services charge a subscription fee, which may be monthly or annual, and then additional fees based on the weight and size of the mail or packages being forwarded. Some providers offer tiered pricing plans to fit different needs and budgets. It’s important to ask about potential hidden costs, such as handling fees, customs duties, or taxes that could be incurred when mail is forwarded internationally. Reputable services will provide a transparent pricing structure to help you avoid unexpected charges.

This digital convenience allows you to make real-time decisions about your mail, whether you’re on the move or situated in another country, ensuring that your international mail forwarding service fits seamlessly with your lifestyle or business operations.

When you choose to declare your own tax value for international shipments, you bear the full risk and responsibility associated with this declaration. This includes the potential for your shipment to be inspected by customs authorities. If discrepancies or inaccuracies are found between the declared value and the actual value of the items, you may face fines, penalties, or even seizure of the goods. Additionally, there might be delays in customs clearance, impacting the delivery time of your shipment. It’s crucial to ensure that the declared value is accurate and compliant with international shipping regulations to minimize these risks.
