Post Offices Require Electronic Customs Forms Starting Oct. 1 All mail entering and transiting the United States and European Union will require completed electronic customs forms for pre-departure alerts beginning on Thursday, Oct. 1. The requirement that will impact all packages mailed at Navy Fleet Post Offices (FPO) located outside the Continental United States (OCONUS). The new program will require customs form information for packages mailed from FPOs to be entered into the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (USCBP) database. Customers will benefit as tracking capabilities will be increased at each handoff and their mail can be tracked from origin to destination with additional updates in-between. Filling out the customs forms online and bringing them to the post office saves time in line because it only requires the scanning of a barcode on the customs form. Customers without an electronic printed custom form can expect a lengthy wait (as can other customers in line) while their data is manually input into the Point of Sale retail terminal. Fleet Post Offices will provide head of the line privileges during lunch hours and high peak holiday mailing seasons to continue speedy service in the lobbies. Postal customers can complete their customs forms online at www.usps.com under the “E-Customs” when they click the link titled “Complete Customs Forms.” Online customs forms are also available under the Click-N-Ship option. If you have any questions, please contact the post office at DSN 626-5371 or DSN 629-4336.
