As I say in the subject line: Ebay shipping labels sometimes prints customs forms sometimes not. Is there a way to tell before I agree to buy the shipping label, whether or not I will get just the shipping label (no customs form because the item is not subject to customs/duties)? The reason it is an issue is that if the lable comes with custom form, I have to print that customs form 3 times, and add a pouch to the box to hold those signed customs forms.... which by my experience adds 44 grams. This doesn't seem like much weight but it can easily get you past some key weight where the shipping cost goes up (particularly on light-weight items under 1000 or 500 grams)
I used HS code 6911.10 Tableware, Kitchenware, Other Household Articles And Toilet Articles, Of Porcelain Or China, for selling stuff like teacups with no issue (no customs form required), but then I sold a heavy item that fit this HS code, and this time around it printed customs forms. A little un-nerving that I cannot go by HS code alone.
