What you can and can’t send overseas
While you can send lots of items with Evri, there are a few limitations you’ll need to be aware of. Check out our full breakdown of what you can and can’t send internationally for all the information you need.
You should also follow the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations and the UK Civil Aviation Authority guides to keep up to date with the latest restrictions for sending parcels via airlines.
Shipping to Africa and the Middle East is easy with Evri
Some carriers ask you to print out a customs form and attach it to your parcel. Not with Evri. When you buy a parcel online, we automatically take all the information we need during the transaction, making it even easier for you.
When you send an international parcel, you’ll need a tariff code which is used by customs to identify different types of item. This helps speed up the clearance process, so your parcel gets to its destination quicker.
Book your parcel online and we’ll give you a handy list of product categories to select from, such as clothes, art and crafts, books and vehicle parts. Simply click through and we’ll add the correct code to your order. Alternatively, you can browse all codes to find the one that most closely matches what you’re sending.
If you haven’t sold through a marketplace, you may be given the option to pay the taxes and duties before you send your parcel. Otherwise, remember to let your customer know they’ll need to pay customs charges for their parcel. If your recipient needs to pay the taxes and duties, we will send them an email containing a payment link.
Be careful to fill in all the information correctly to make sure your parcel arrives at its destination as quickly as possible. If the information you provide is incorrect, it could result in your parcel being held at customs with delays and charges outside of our control.
