In order to streamline the privately printed combined customs forms application process for business mailers, the United States Postal Service® (USPS) has updated its Customs Form Specification procedures. The updated Customs Forms Specifications for PS Form 2976, Customs Declaration CN 22 – Sender’s Declaration, and PS Form 2976-A, Customs Declaration and Dispatch Note CP 72 are available on the RIBBS® website.
Updating these specifications and procedures will enable our customers to obtain accurate information for USPS-approved, privately printed combined customs forms. In turn, this will help our customers design customs forms that adhere to USPS® and regulatory standards, and help eliminate the need to produce a separate shipping label.
These revised documents will also streamline and expedite the approval process for customers.
Finally, to make this transition easier for our customers, we have also posted a Customs Form Certification Checklist on RIBBS. This checklist guides our customers throughout the application process and provides Postal Service™ contact information that the customer will need for various steps in the process.
