Guidance for EMS Address Label

  • Please make sure that all data on your address label are accurate and correct. Missing or incorrect data may result in a delayed delivery or an issue in customs formalities in the destination country.
  • Item numbers starting with EE indicate documents or printed matter, while item numbers starting with EM or ES indicate merchandises, business samples, gifts, etc.
From Sender / To Addressee
Name and address of the sender and the addressee must be written accurately in English, or together with a language used in the destination country. Please fill in the contact number whenever available, as some countries return an item in case the addressee is absent, if there is no contact number on the address label.
Customs Declaration (CN23)
Please note that as for the items containing business samples or merchandises, company names of sender & addressee may help expedited customs clearance. And to facilitate customs procedure, please offer accurate data on contents (in English) and value (in USD).
Invoice should be attached outside the item by enclosing it in clear vinyl or inside the item to be checked easily during the customs process. (In some European countries, many cases are reported that items having their invoice attached outside the package are immediately cleared through the customs without opening.)
