gxseries Pillar of the Community Australia 3767 Posts	Posted 03/19/2023 10:20 am I mail coins mainly to the US as a hobby for trade. These are just low value Australian coins in standard economy mail and worked like a treat for the past few years. This week, this is the first time I've seen a mail come back and says that it couldn't be delivered due to electronic advance data (EAD) requirement. I guess it requires an electronic custom form but this is only applicable for parcles which drives up postage fees... Have you had this experience and what other alternatives are there?

Reno911 Valued Member United States 316 Posts	Posted 03/19/2023 10:42 am I don't anything about shipping overseas but in short the http reads: Advance Electronic Data (AED) refers to electronic messages with information about the shipper, the recipient, and the contents of a cross-border postal package. AED helps U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) identify packages from foreign posts that may contain opioids and other illicit goods. Maybe it's just another way for the government to get more money for their postage and their services because they have to hire more people because of these crimes and the poor good guy ends up paying in the end Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16470 Posts	Posted 03/19/2023 8:46 pm As old-fashioned letters decline and parcel delivery becomes their primary business, more and more of your "letters" will get treated like small parcels. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
gxseries Pillar of the Community Australia 3767 Posts	Posted 03/19/2023 9:37 pm Would a CN22 or CN23 form suffice or it must be sent as a parcel? Difference in price is 3.50 versus 20...

ttkoo Pillar of the Community Australia 2405 Posts	Posted 04/02/2023 02:18 am When I sent coins to the US they had to be via parcel, I had to describe them as gaming tokens. I have not tested it but I believe that Australia Post will not carry anything described as a coin, collectible coin. antique coin etc. (yet RAM seems to have no drama). From memory they cost about $20 per parcel, and about the same to Canada. (Don't quote me) The Ox moves slowly, but the Earth is patient. Report this Post to the Staff
