2026-3-10 International shipping

I sent a package to my son in England.
This time, I'm using Yamato Transport instead of the regular postal service (EMS).

The documents for shipping via EMS are
It has become much more complicated than it was a few years ago.
(It might be easy once you get used to it.)
I entered various things on my PC to create a QR code...
That makes it quite a challenge.

Perhaps due to the current global situation,
The act of shipping overseas itself
It seems to be stricter than before.
Apparently, it can sometimes take a very long time for the items to arrive.

Even with Yamato Transport, when shipping packages,
When bringing luggage to the branch office,
Leave the box lid open.
The contents are as written on the invoice.
After cross-referencing and including the verification documents,
It is supposed to be sealed.

I need to write in more detail than before.
I had already looked it up online beforehand,
The shipping process went smoothly.

The staff at Yamato Transport

I'll choose Yamato-san again next time.

That's expensive...
This will be subject to customs duties.
Be careful, as customs duties must be paid by the recipient.
I need to tell my son...
