<p>[QUOTE=&quot;AzmyMan, post: 2826098, member: 89307&quot;]Hi guys,</p><p><br /></p><p>Earlier this year, I received this announcement from CNG on changes to the USPS international shipping and customs declaration policies: </p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Due to changes being made by the United States Postal Service (USPS), we will no longer be able to send shipments abroad by registered mail with no value declared.&nbsp; The USPS has discontinued international registered mail and the customs forms we have been using for the last 30 years.&nbsp; All shipments must now be processed electronically, and a verifiable declaration of value will now be required.</p><p><br /></p><p>As a result, all international shipments will be sent in an International Priority Envelope or Box, using original invoicing for the value on the customs form.&nbsp; The tracking and time of shipment will improve, however we believe that this may also help customs offices track and charge import fees on our packages.&nbsp; Due to our limited staffing, it is our policy to only use original invoicing amounts for the valuation of any package.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Correct me if I am wrong, but does that mean that: (1) I will have to pay from now on USPS customs fees? and (2) that the value of the package will be placed on the shipping cover for all to see (and potentially steal)? Aside from the danger of theft, what will happen to my coins once they reach USPS? Will they hold the parcel until I settle the customs fee? And how can I pay the customs fee whilst abroad, do they have a bank account? </p><p><br /></p><p>I would be grateful for any help with this matter. I used to use Aramex&#039;s shipping forwarding service for the shipping of my coins, but I stopped as they all of a sudden started considering ancient coins &quot;unacceptable materials) in spite of me having shipped with them my coins numerous times in the past, thats why I am forced to use USPS.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
