International Ordinary Mail for the Blind
International Ordinary Mail for the Blind enables blind and partially sighted people to send articles for the blind that weigh up to 7kg abroad.
New rules for the accompanying customs declaration forms CN 22 or CN 23
Starting from 01 June 2021, letters containing a written communication and weighing up to 50 g ARE THE ONLY CONSIGNMENTS TO NON-EU DESTINATIONS THAT DO NOT HAVE TO BE ACCOMPANIED BY A CUSTOMS DECLARATION FORM. All other consignments must be accompanied by a customs declaration form.
By attaching a correctly completed customs declaration form to your consignment, you will prevent complications, such as return of consignment due to the absence of customs clearance data, longer duration of transportation and customs clearance, and make the whole delivery process faster. Consignments containing documents should be indicated by checking the ‘Documents’ box in the ‘Category of item’ section of the form.
Ideally, submit all address, contact, and customs clearance data for your consignments online, e.g. using the application Send Consignment. This will give you access to many benefits including:
- Postage reduced by of up to CZK 8 for letters;
- Completion of the CN 22/CN 23 customs declaration form for consignments destined to countries that require such a form;
- Sending a certificate of posting to your email address;
- Faster posting at a post office by using a generated code;
- Use of implemented automatic word completion boxes and checking mechanisms;
- Absence of errors due to the copying of data from paper forms;
- Correct and complete posting data guarantee a shorter overall duration of transportation and problem-free customs clearance and delivery.
