UPS automatically protects every shipment against loss or damage, up to a certain value, as described in their general shipping conditions. With Declared Value for
Carriage, you may increase UPS’s limit of liability for proven losses by declaring a higher value for carriage on the UPS shipping
documentation. The value of the goods declared shall not in any event exceed USD 50,000 or its local currency equivalent per package. 

One percent of the value of the goods declared for carriage or a minimum of €10.20

Some commodities have to be regulated and controlled prior to export processing by a separate Governmental Agency (like the Ministry of Health, CITES, Ministry of Heritage and Cultural Activities or Ministry of Foreign Affairs).
These types of commodities might be subject to specific clearance processes. Where this is the case, upon request by the shipper and provided that the shipper shares the required information and documentation, UPS will support exporters to expedite clearance by filing the required information (paper or electronic) with the respective Governmental Agency.

€58.25 per shipment in addition to any administrative fees
anticipated by UPS

Upon request and based on information provided by the sender, UPS will assist exporters in requesting Certificates of Origin (EUR1-SPG) to provide proof for preferential treatment of goods at the import destination.

€17.50 per shipment only if the customer requests the certificate when it is not necessary (EUR1 not necessary under €6.000)

Other government agencies work with customs to verify and inspect certain types of goods. Specific documents must be submitted to these agencies in order to obtain authorizations or clearances. An example of such an agency is the Ministry of Health. Contact UPS Customer Service for specific information.

Import shipments are subject to duties and taxes. If UPS initially pays the cost of duties, taxes, and other government charges on behalf of the payer, a fee will be charged based on the intrinsic value of the goods shipped and the amount advanced.

3% of the advanced amount when the intrinsic value of the goods exceed €22.00

A cost charged when UPS prepays customs duties and initiates customs clearance on behalf of customers who do not have a regular customer number. This cost covers additional handling and processing fees.

A minimum of €17.50 or 5% of the amount advanced

Parcels that require payment of duties, taxes, or other government-related charges must be paid before delivery. If these duties are not paid in advance, the recipient in the U.S. will be asked to pay them upon delivery.

To avoid this, recipients can pay the required duties electronically before the parcel arrives. This can be done through the UPS Import Payment Processing Application (IPPA) using Apple Pay, Google Pay, or a credit card (Visa, Mastercard, or Discover).

Shippers can help ensure the recipient receives a prepayment notification by including their name, phone number, and email address on all export shipments. In addition to the email or SMS notification, the payment link will also appear in the tracking information on UPS.com, allowing recipients to pay in advance and avoid paying upon delivery.

$12 USD fee for recipient if duties unpaid at delivery

Covers the calculation of the Merchandise Processing Fee (MPF), a charge imposed by U.S. Customs based on the shipment’s value. Applies to both formal and informal entries. The MPF calculation is included in the base price.

Formal: 0.3464% / value (min $31.67, max $614.35)

Informal: $2.53 per entry

UPS carbon neutral is a more responsible way to ship.

The offsets purchased offset the carbon impact of your shipments by reducing emissions elsewhere through support for environmental projects.
