Online Custom Form

Large envelopes and letter mail packages containing merchandise (anything other than letters and developed personal photos) that are mailed from an MPO must have a customs declaration form. The Sender’s failure to complete the form properly could delay delivery of the item. Moreover, a false, misleading, or incomplete declaration may result in the seizure or return of the item and/or imposed UCMJ action for military members. Customers may choose to use any of the following:
– Create a free USPS account (Click here to create an account) to utilize the USPS Click-N-Ship feature to complete and pay for their customs form (fastest way to drop off packages).
– Fill out and print a customs form from this USPS website (Click here for customs forms) without creating an account, and they pay at the postal finance window.
