Understanding Personal Effects Shipping

To help ensure you have a clear understanding of personal effects shipping, we've included some of the most frequently asked questions:

Personal effects are everyday belongings that have been in your possession for at least six months, such as clothing, books, and personal items. Also referred to as personal belongings, personal goods, or personal items.

Personal effects shipping refers to the process of sending used personal belongings overseas. Items may include clothing, footwear, accessories, or other everyday goods. Unlike bulky household removals, shipping personal effects is a lighter, cost-effective service designed for individuals or students who need to transport their essentials abroad without the stress of traditional moving services.

Yes, if you’re shipping personal effects internationally, your shipment will go through customs and needs a customs declaration form. When you book with My Baggage, we help by generating the necessary customs forms online for you to easily complete, making customs much simpler. Used personal items often qualify for exemptions, but customs rules differ by country, so it’s a good idea to check the specific requirements for your destination. This helps avoid delays and ensures smooth clearance.

Shipping your personal effects to your destination has numerous advantages, including:

Step-by-Step Guide to Shipping Personal Effects

Shipping personal effects abroad involves more than just packing a box. To ensure smooth customs clearance and timely delivery, follow these essential steps:

Package Your Items

Make sure your belongings are packaged securely using strong, durable materials suitable for a courier network. Your packaging should be sturdy enough to protect your items throughout transit.

  • Attach your shipping label firmly to the outside of your shipment.
  • Place an additional copy of the label inside the package in case the outer one becomes damaged or detached.
  • Double-check that your shipment does not contain any prohibited items, as these cannot be sent.

Prepare and Complete the Required Paperwork

When shipping personal effects internationally, you’ll need to complete customs declaration forms. A copy of the photo page of your passport may also be required.

  • With My Baggage, this process is simple. Shortly after booking and payment, you’ll be able to complete your customs forms online by answering a few quick questions.
  • You’ll need to declare the contents of your shipment along with their estimated current market value (not the original purchase price).

It may look something like this:

  • 2 x Used Men’s Denim Jeans (Blue) / Value $10
  • 2 x Used White T-Shirts (Size M) / Value $5

Check Destination Country Regulations

Each country has different rules when it comes to importing personal effects. Before sending your shipment, research the requirements of your destination country to avoid any unexpected delays. Some destinations may request extra documentation or checks.

Protect Your Shipment

With My Baggage, you automatically receive compensation cover with every shipment, with the option to upgrade your cover during the booking process. Damage is rare when items are packaged appropriately, but certain “no-compensation” items are excluded - so it’s worth checking this list in advance.

For extra reassurance, you may also wish to consider arranging independent additional insurance (not affiliated with My Baggage) for your personal effects.
