Delivery to the USA

Which carriers deliver to the USA

Two proven carriers fly to America - UPS and FedEx. YouSend brings them the combined volume of dozens of eBay, Amazon and Etsy sellers, earns a deep wholesale discount and passes it straight into the rates you see: choose on speed or on budget.

UPS

from 1 working day

Express and Express Saver get the parcel there in 1-3 working days, with the delivery time guaranteed. Door-to-door delivery anywhere in the USA.

FedEx

from 1 working day

Priority handles urgent shipments in 1-3 working days, while the economy rate takes 4-6 working days when budget matters more than speed.

YouSend

Customs and paperwork

The United States sits outside the European Union, so the parcel goes through export clearance in Latvia and import control in America. We take most of the paperwork off your hands: the export invoice is generated automatically when you book the shipment.

  • The export invoice is generated when you place the order - nothing to fill in by hand.
  • Describe the contents honestly and in detail: a clear description is what gets a parcel through customs quickly.
  • Import duties and taxes may apply in the USA - the amount is set by US customs on the basis of what is inside.

Your part is simple: pack the parcel and tell us what is inside. The system puts the export documents together, and the courier comes to collect from the address you gave.

What you cannot send to the USA

The restrictions come from carrier rules and from US customs requirements. Before you ship, check that nothing inside the box is on the prohibited list.

  • Flammable liquids, gases and aerosols
  • Weapons, ammunition and their component parts
  • Narcotic and psychotropic substances
  • Perishable food and plants without the relevant permits
  • Lithium batteries shipped separately from the device
  • Cash, jewellery and precious metals
The list is not exhaustive: every carrier adds restrictions of its own, and imports into the USA are regulated further by US agencies. If you are unsure about the contents, ask our manager before you book.

How to get your parcel ready for shipping

Good packaging protects the contents in transit and counts in your favour if a claim is ever reviewed. We have put together a detailed guide: choosing the box, protecting fragile items, the drop test and photographing what you pack.

A flight across the ocean means several handovers, so use a sturdy box, cushion the contents on every side and tape the seams along their full length. Step-by-step instructions with diagrams are in our packing guide.

Yes - you get a tracking number as soon as the parcel is on its way. The status stays visible on our tracking page for the whole journey: from collection in Latvia to the moment the recipient signs for it in the USA.
