Customs Forms Only Generate With Labels: While Pirate Ship will always provide a customs form if it's needed for the shipment by default, there's no way to generate a customs form without purchasing a shipping label alongside it 😓
Customs forms can't be filled out on the USPS website unless you purchase a label directly from USPS along with it.
Get Blank Customs Forms at the Post Office: When you try to fill one out on the USPS website without purchasing a label, USPS generates a random tracking number on the form. So, your best option for finding a blank customs form is to pick one up at your local Post Office.
Pirate Ship Automatically Generates Customs Forms: If you are purchasing a label for an international shipment, or a package headed to a military address or U.S. Territory, Pirate Ship will automatically generate the customs forms you'll need 😉

Shipments to Guam may require customs forms
Customs Forms for Guam Shipments: Although Guam is considered part of the United States, USPS may require a customs form depending on the weight of the shipment 👍
Our team is currently investigating a known issue in which USPS is not automatically providing the customs forms for shipments that would require them.
You typically only need customs forms for packages weighing 1 pound or more. But to be totally safe, we recommend filling out a customs form for any shipment to Guam and including it on the outside of your box!
