Changed international shipping regulations

International Shipping Update: What You Need to Know

Due to international regulations set by the Universal Postal Union (UPU), we must now make a strict distinction between sending documents and goods.

As a result, all goods shipments must include a shipping label with a barcode. In addition, countries now require that shipment information is shared digitally in advance.

The Universal Postal Union is the organisation responsible for coordinating postal policies worldwide.

Why These Changes Are Happening

Countries are increasingly checking what enters their borders. Therefore, they require more detailed shipment information before parcels arrive.

If this information is not provided, your shipment could be delayed, returned, or even destroyed. To prevent this, we are updating our international shipping process.

What This Means for Your Orders

The biggest change affects customers who previously selected the cheaper non-tracked shipping option.

From now on, these shipments will still include a shipping label with a barcode. However, this barcode is not primarily for tracking. Instead, it is used to share required product information with customs authorities.

New International Shipping Options

As a result of these regulations, we are introducing updated international shipping options on our website.

These changes will improve reliability and reduce the risk of delays or issues at customs.

Summary: International Shipping Changes

In summary, international shipping regulations now require more detailed and advanced data sharing.

Because of this, all goods shipments will include a barcode label, even for non-tracked options.

Ultimately, these updates will make international shipping more reliable and secure for all customers.
