Describe your goods precisely
Use a detailed English description and the right HS code for each item. Words like ‘sample’ or ‘spare part’ are the most common cause of delays at customs.
Decide who pays the import costs
You decide whether you pay the import costs (DDP) or the recipient does (DAP). Agree this with your recipient in Suriname beforehand — it prevents refused parcels and return costs.
Enter dimensions and weight accurately
Carriers measure again when they collect. If the dimensions or weight differ, you get an additional charge. Measure the box including packaging and round up.
