About Customs
In general, goods are dutiable and documents are not. However, what is considered a dutiable shipment differs per country. For example, in the Bahamas a photograph is considered a document and as such non dutiable whereas in Argentina that same photograph is a dutiable shipment. Please find more information about dutiable shipments at customs support.
Commercial or pro forma invoice
For all your dutiable shipments you need to add a commercial or pro forma invoice. Do you book your shipment online? Our online tool will help you with the requirements for Customs.
