We understand that the declared value of a package can be important for both customs purposes and shipping insurance, which is why PostFromUS gives customers the ability to update it. While we do our best to research and assign an accurate market value to your items based on online listings, you are always welcome to adjust it if you feel the value should be higher or lower.
To change the declared value of an item, simply log into your PostFromUS account, go to your PostBox, and locate the specific item. Once there, you can manually enter a new value in the appropriate field and click the blue checkmark to save your changes. It’s quick and easy, and gives you greater control over how your shipment is handled.
Please note: The declared value plays a critical role in two key areas. First, it is used by customs authorities to assess any duties or taxes that may apply when your package enters its destination country. Second, it determines the maximum reimbursement amount if your package is lost or damaged during transit and a claim needs to be filed with the carrier. For your protection, we recommend declaring a fair and realistic value based on the actual worth of the item.
