mjmj Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 Just thought to ask what your thoughts here on Fed Ex International Priority is like. In particular the customs' check. With USPS packages do flow under the radar. Is this similar with Fed EX when sending from the US to say Australia? Is FED Ex more stringent with the Customs check?

Poker Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 I have received FedEx International packages (from the US) for over 10 years and never had any customs issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmj Posted October 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 Thanks for that. What about being charged import duties? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

panerai153 Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 FedEx does it's own customs clearing, that is crucial to them to have real overnight and second day delivery to overseas destinations. i have gotten new genuine watches from Switzerland and customs duty is pretty hit or miss. I have bought several Doxas, and i was charged around 50.00 USd for one and nothing for the other two. i have no idea how it works going the other way, but from what I've heard on the genuine forums, they charge customs duty on just about every package. The second thing that you might consider is what the valuation is. You may get a Rolex submariner rep and get customs charges based on the value of a genuine Rolex!! I use FedEx and UPS for packages quite frequently here in the USA, because quite frankly, I like the idea of accurate and up to date tracking, which the USPS sadly lacks. For international packages, I usually stick to USPS because they are cheaper, and the paperwork is much simpler. I can fill out a USPS Customs Declaration in about 10 minutes, the last time I tried to do the UPS forms to Camada, it took me and hour to download, fill out and print all the different forms.
