Hello,

I was wondering if anybody could give me a walkthrough of shipping internationally.
I plan on Shipping from U.S to Serbia to a reputable buyer. I was just wondering
if there is any additional work I need to do, or do I just simply use ship
station directly from Paypal's website like I normally do for Domestic shipping.
Also any tips and tricks would be helpful.

Thanks, Noah

Gee -
I learnt this in 2006 from Timothy Smith.
Just don't fear.

Ship everywhere, learn, adjust, but don't restrict to any place, any amount,
anyone.

Hi Noah,

you can use ship station like for domestic shipping
if you want to. You'll only need to fill the custom form.
You'll see a large button "Add declaration" this is it.

You'll also see that in the declaration you need to
list all items with their weight. I just wrote down
"set of manuals" or "set of building bricks" and total weight.
I never had problem with doing it that way.

Sometimes I had problem with special symbols in the address.
I just worked it out.

You can do it. It's easy

I thought I remembered reading that there is an issue with putting in the IOSS
number using ShipStation from PayPal. I know Serbia isn't formally in the
EU - I don't know whether BL collects VAT for Serbia.

First of all thanks for all the advice, I am very appreciative. So all I will
need to do that’s s different is fill out the “add deceleration” on shipstation?
If so this is much easier than expected, and I am very surprised.

Thanks, Noah

Yes that's all. When you'll choose different country than USA
you'll see the button "add declaration" Good luck!

I put "plastic toy parts lot" on my customs forms. I'm afraid "lego" will
attract thieves.


Its really not much different, just takes longer

I works, I tried until the very last check out step.

But you misled a bit with your "Intenrtional Shipping (Quote)", as it's not
a quote, the buyer places an actual order

BTW: typo in "Intenrtional", or was it intenational?

If Serbia requires a digital IOSS form, then you can't use the default Paypal/Shipstation.
Most people here seem to recommend Pirateship instead.

Does anyone have a reference for which countries require the IOSS?

Serbia is not part of the EU yet (‘candidate’ only at this date).

The EU countries: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Member_state_of_the_European_Union


Note that for UK, which has a similar scheme, it seems there’s no obligation
to pass the VAT number electronically… but you need to use their modified CN-22
which has a field for the VAT number of the collector (CN-22A?).

(Norway has a similar scheme too but BL doesn’t collect from Novergian buyers,
yet.
And I don’t yet know how it’ll work for Canada that should be implemented soon.)
