Customs is a government agency responsible for regulating shipments entering a country. All shipments being sent to and from a country must clear customs first.
As an eBay seller, you'll need to fill out the appropriate customs form as provided by your local carrier. In most cases, this means that you'll only have to fill out one form that contains the following information-sender's name and address, recipient's name and address, and the package's contents, value, and weight. If you choose to send your item with the USPS, there are two forms that may apply-Green Tag 2976 & the White Form 2976-A. Below is a description of when each of these forms is applicable.
