The customs form is submitted online, but if any package is over 13 oz and has stamps to cover the postage you need to hand it to a postal worker. For most First Class International packages, the label & customs form is printed right on the 1/2 sheet label/paper that can be taped to the package. For packages that require the more advanced customs form it takes several sheets of paperwork (Priority Mail--non-envelope/small flat rate box). The label and customs form should be printed on paper--it takes 3 sheets--then inserted in the clear plastic envelopes provided by your post office or shipped to you for free from <a href="http://www.usps.com/shipping/supplies.htm?from=home_shipstartfinish&page=stockuponsupplies" rel="nofollow">USPS.com Supplies</a>. In my PO I can just walk to the counter and leave packages that already have the postage on them without standing in line. Maybe your post office allows that too? You’re welcome!

I have a question for you. I talked to a postal worker today and mentioned this method, as he knows I've been considering an alternate method to spending 30 mins out of my day just to ship first class international packages! Can you tell I'm tired of it ;) He wanted to know about the copies of the customs forms, so I was wondering when you use the shipping assistant do copies electronically get filed with the USPS automatically? Also, can you print the label onto paper and just tape it on the package? Thanks very much for your help :) Hello. I have a question for you.

The PO will give you free clear plastic envelopes to put it all in if you ask or you can order them free online from USPS.com. On those three sheets the customs form will be printed.
