The item record
Keep a clear description, identifying references, dimensions, packing status and any requested supporting records together. Provide accurate information about the goods.
The collection authority
Confirm who can release the goods and which reference or written instruction the collection location needs. Do not assume a shipping request alone authorises release.
International requirements
The goods and the route determine which customs, licence or other requirements need checking. Agree who is responsible for the checks and documentation before movement.
Cultural objects
Art and antiques can raise specific export questions. Check the current official guidance and the applicable licence arrangements rather than treating every object as an ordinary parcel.
Keep the agreement
Retain the scope, charges, applicable cover or liability terms and handover instructions for the actual shipment. This website does not issue a customs decision or confirm licence eligibility.
