Things to remember when providing details for a shipment:

  • Make sure that the description is not too generic.
  • Make sure that you put in the right quantity
  • The item value is always in USD, no need to declare the shipping cost and US sales tax. Just declare the actual item value.
  • “This item was made in North America” - Select this if you know that your item was manufactured in North America. You will be required to provide proof if an item was manufactured in North America. If you are unsure where your product was manufactured, leave this box unchecked.
  • You can upload multiple page invoices, accepted file formats are PDF, JPEG and PNG.
  • If you don’t see your item listed on the category dropdown, you can select “Other”. 
  • The Duty and Tax shown on this part of the process are just estimates.
  • If you can’t remember the item you purchased you can always request for an additional photo at an additional cost. Images can take up to 2 business days to be reflected on your account. You will also receive an email when an image has been uploaded.

From here, you can fill out the required fields and click on the SUBMIT button.

After hitting on SUBMIT, a pop up box will appear asking you if you want to request it later or request it now.
