International Customs Rules and Regulations

When arranging international freight transport through our classifieds marketplace, understanding cross-border shipping laws is essential. Please review the official CargoDelivery customs rules to ensure your shipments comply with international legal standards.

1. User Responsibility and Legal Compliance

CargoDelivery is an informational bulletin board and does not monitor, prepare, or clear customs documentation for your shipments. Compliance with national and international customs laws is the sole responsibility of the individual shippers (clients) and independent carriers (drivers).

Before initiating a cross-border trip or sending a package, both parties must ensure they possess all required commercial invoices, declarations, transport permits, and identification documents necessary for the specific route.

2. Prohibited and Restricted Items

To maintain platform safety and adhere to international transit laws, users are strictly prohibited from listing, offering, or transporting illegal goods. Items that must never be posted or carried under the CargoDelivery customs rules include:

  • Illegal narcotics, controlled substances, and unregulated medical drugs.

  • Weapons, firearms, explosives, ammunition, and tactical military equipment.

  • Flammable substances, hazardous chemicals, fireworks, and toxic materials.

  • Counterfeit merchandise, pirated goods, and unlicensed replicas.

  • Protected species of plants, wild animals, or unregulated animal products.

  • Large amounts of cash or unregistered negotiable instruments exceeding legal border limits.

3. Import Duties, Taxes, and Custom Allowances

Every country enforces its own specific financial thresholds for duty-free personal luggage and commercial cargo imports. Shippers must research the customs allowances of the destination country before transferring packages to a driver.

3.1 Commercial Cargo vs. Personal Parcels

Different regulations apply depending on whether an item is classified as a personal gift or a commercial shipment. Commercial goods generally require formal customs entries, tax registration, and payment of Value Added Tax (VAT) or import duties.

3.2 Direct Price Negotiation for Duty Fees

Because CargoDelivery does not set shipping prices or participate in financial transactions, any potential custom clearance fees, duties, or unexpected border taxes must be discussed and agreed upon directly between the client and the driver prior to departure.

4. Custom Clearance Delays and Liability

As explicitly stated in our platform guidelines, CargoDelivery holds zero liability for any issues arising at border checkpoints. We are not responsible for:

  • Delays caused by customs inspections, border queues, or regulatory audits.

  • Seizure, confiscation, or destruction of goods by customs officials due to non-compliance.

  • Fines, penalties, or legal fees imposed on drivers or clients by government authorities.

5. Reporting Violations

We reserve the right to immediately terminate the accounts and remove the listings of any user attempting to use our bulletin board for smuggling or unauthorized transport of restricted items. If you notice any suspicious international listings, please report them to our administration immediately.
