International Mail Acceptance Policy Changes
This policy change is effective starting Monday May 21, 2012
Due to regulatory changes from the United States Postal Services the MSU Postal Services main office and the Postal Contract station located in the Plaster Student Union can no longer accept hand written customs forms for international mail.
This is for ALL international mail that weighs over 13 ounces and is being mailed through the United States Postal Service.
This rule doesn’t apply to Fedex or UPS.
The forms must be filled out online. Go to one of the links below to fill out the form online. The weight of your package will determine which form you use (** See guidelines below). After you’ve completed the 5 sections of the form, print it out and sign it before you take your package to the postal services window located in the Plaster Student Union or the main MSU Postal Services office.
USPS Customs Form Instructions
**Use this form when your package is 4 pounds or less**
Customs Form 2976http://webapps.usps.com/customsforms/sender_recipient.jsp
**Use this form when your package is anything over 4 pounds**
Customs Form 2976Ahttp://webapps.usps.com/customsforms/cp72sender_recipient.jsp
Go to the link provided for the weight of the package you’re sending. You can navigate from one page and back to another by the red navigation buttons on the bottom of the page. After all the required information is filled in on a page you may hit “continue” at the bottom of the page to go on. Once you’ve filled in all the pages it will create a pdf of your form that you need to print and sign.
NOTE: Boxes with red stars * by them are required information
