Posting procedure back

  1. If you send a parcel abroad, find out conditions under which you can send the contents of the parcel to a country of destination (information on customs regulations is available at customs authorities, diplomatic missions in a country of destination, chambers of commerce, etc.).
  2. Bring the wrapped parcel to a post office (you can buy a wrap at a post office directly). At wrapping a parcel abroad, all joints of the parcel shall be sealed up with 2-cm-wide paper or transparent adhesive tape, twice sign through the tape so that a part of the signature could be on the wrap and a part on the tape, in case of using the transparent adhesive tape, place your signature under the adhesive tape. Write address date on the parcel.
  3. Fill in the Dispatch Note (for parcels abroad use the International Dispatch Note of pink colour) that is available at a post office. In case of posting more insured parcels, you can replace receipts (Part 1 of the Dispatch Notes) with the posting sheet.
  4. In the Dispatch Note, mark out services and a transit time you wish to use. In case of using the service Cash on Delivery, attach also the Postal Money Order to Account or the Postal Money Order to Address (for parcels abroad use the International COD Money Order TPF 3).
  5. If you send a parcel to a country out of the European Union, fill in also the Customs Declaration CN 23 (of green colour), that is a part of the Dispatch Note.
  6. Post the parcel with the Dispatch Note completed at a counter of a post office.
