Sending Goods

Postal Delivered Duty Paid (PDDP) is an international customs requirement for some destinations. Where applicable, import duties, taxes and handling fees are paid when postage is purchased rather than on delivery. These charges are additional to postage charges outlined below, which can vary and are calculated at the point of purchase. Where available, the Tracked PDDP service must be used for sending goods. For other destinations, Standard or Tracked services are available. For more information visit iompost.com/PDDP

PLEASE NOTE: PDDP SERVICES ARE ONLY AVAILABLE FROM 23 AUGUST 2026.
