Use the UPS Import/Export tool for country-specific info

When shipping internationally with UPS, you can plug your origin country (the United States) and destination country into their Import/Export Regulations tool to get information specific to the country you're shipping to.

This information can be helpful for determining the following:

  • Restricted or Prohibited Items: The UPS Import/Export Regulations tool will help you determine whether the item(s) you're sending is restricted or prohibited by either UPS or the destination country you're shipping to

  • Size & Weight Limits: This tool will display whether your destination country imposes size and weight limits for individual packages

    • Every country is different, and some destinations have different limits for how big and heavy your package can be!

  • Customs Duties and Import Taxes: The UPS Import/Export Regulations tool will tell you if your package can be exempt from taxes as a "gift," and at what value your recipient(s) will incur customs duties and import taxes

UPS pickups

Pirate Ship offers the ability to schedule pickups for your UPS packages!

  • "On Call" UPS Pickups: UPS offers their "On Call" pickup service for a fee, plus any applicable surcharges that might apply if they consider your location to be "Extra Rural" or a "Remote Area."

  • Getting a Quote for a Pickup: To get a quote for a UPS pickup once you purchase your label(s), just head to the Ship page, click Schedule Pickup, and then Request Pickup > UPS.
