What Is a CN22 Form?

The CN22 is an international customs declaration form required by the Universal Postal Union (UPU) for parcels sent outside the UK to non-EU countries (and some EU destinations). It declares the contents, value, and purpose of the item for customs clearance.

Required Destinations

CN22 is required for almost all non-EU countries including: USA, Canada, Australia, Japan, China, India, Brazil, Mexico, New Zealand, Singapore, Hong Kong, and many others. It's also required for some EU countries in certain circumstances.

How to Fill In a CN22

Tips for Accurate Completion

  • Be honest about the parcel's contents — undervaluing items is illegal
  • For gifts, declare the actual value or replacement cost, not 'zero'
  • For HS Tariff Codes, check the destination country's customs authority (optional but helpful)
  • Write clearly and legibly — illegible forms may be rejected
  • Double-check sender and recipient addresses for accuracy
  • Ensure the total weight and value match what's in the parcel
  • Sign and date the form — unsigned forms may be invalid

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I undervalue a parcel to reduce customs duties?

No. Undervaluing is customs fraud and is illegal. Always declare the true value. Customs may already know the market value of items and may impose penalties or seize the parcel.

What's the HS Tariff Code and do I need it?

The HS Tariff Code classifies goods for customs purposes. It's optional but helpful, especially for high-value items. Check your destination country's customs authority website for the correct code for your item type.

Do I need a CN22 for EU countries?

Not normally. However, some EU countries may require customs documentation in specific circumstances (e.g., high-value items, hazardous goods). Check with Royal Mail or your courier for EU requirements.

Can I print multiple copies of one form?

For a single parcel, only one CN22 is required (or CN23 if applicable). Keep copies for your records, but attach only one to the parcel.

Is this form legally valid?

This tool generates a standard CN22 form based on Universal Postal Union specifications. However, it's your responsibility to ensure compliance with all applicable laws. For high-value or sensitive items, consider contacting your courier directly for official forms.
