Everything you need to know about customs forms for international shipping from Netcong, NJ.
Customs forms are required for nearly every international shipment leaving the United States.

At Ship Center Plus in Netcong, NJ, we handle customs documentation for you — but this guide explains what is involved so you know what to expect and what to bring.
A customs form (also called a customs declaration) is a document that tells the destination country what is in your package, what it is worth, and who it is going to. Every international shipment — whether personal or commercial — requires some form of customs documentation. The form helps the destination country assess whether import duties or taxes apply and whether the contents are allowed.
