For personal international shipments, we recommend booking your shipment at least one to two weeks before your planned shipping date. Some recipient countries require more rigorous documentation than others, so this timeline can vary by location. Two weeks is usually enough time to gather and prepare documentation for any country.

For commercial international shipments, we recommend booking your shipment at least one to three days in advance. This allows our team appropriate time to prepare the best possible documents for efficient clearance.

Vacation/Event and Move/Relocation shipments require additional documentation, and we recommend that you gather this information prior to booking your shipment. To see those requirements, please see the following articles:

-What documents do I need to provide when shipping internationally for an event?
-What documents do I need to provide when shipping internationally for vacation?
-What documents do I need to provide if I’m shipping internationally because I’ve moved?
