# How to Ship Packages Internationally with UrShipper New to international shipping? Learn the best practices for seamless shipping processes with UrShipper and follow these steps to help your shipment be dispatched smoothly, and arrive at its destination on time and without getting stuck in customs. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. ENSURE THE GOODS CAN BE SHIPPED. Different than local or domestic shipping, international shipping has an added level of complexity – a parcel has to pass through customs when it leaves its origin country, and it must pass through customs again to enter the destination country. UrShipper has a list of Prohibited Goods [https://help.urshipper.com/article/1056-Prohibited-Goods] that are not accepted or require special conditions to ship. Shipping general items like common fashion products is normally okay and does not require any special customs documents. It’s also recommended for you and/or the receiver of the shipment to be aware with customs regulations or import restrictions at the destination country, and expect that import duties & taxes [https://help.urshipper.com/article/1031-Customs-Duties-and-Taxes] may apply. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. PACK YOUR GOODS. Proper packaging will help your shipment reach its destination safely and in the intended condition. Use a new/sturdy box to make sure the package arrives intact, and leave no empty space to keep it cost-efficient. If you are shipping soft goods, and malleable items like paper, clothes, and other nonfragile small items, you can request polymailer (FedEx Large Pak) supplies from UrShipper for FREE!
