For international shipping outside the EU, a customs declaration is of great importance. This statement informs customs officials of the content and value of your package. The information in the customs content declaration is used to calculate the country-specific import sales taxes and duties, which must then be paid by the recipient.
In order to make customs processing smooth, it is important to fill out the corresponding CN 23 customs declaration for parcel shipping outside the EU. Attach the document clearly visible to the outside of your package in a shipping bag. However, when sending by post, the CN 22 customs declaration must be used. In any case, the customs declaration for shipping to Ascension should be on the address page of your shipment.
Please note that the customs declaration must be completed for shipping to Ascension, the world language English. This ensures smooth processing by British customs authorities or those on Ascension. Make sure that all information is correct and complete to avoid delays or problems with delivery.
COMMERCIAL INVOICE
In addition, when shipping via parcel services such as UPS or DHL, you also need a commercial invoice in English. It informs customs officials about your goods, the entire shipping process and you as the sender. Please attach the commercial invoice to the outside of your package in a shipping bag. The commercial invoice must be affixed to the package in 3 copies.

Customs duties & import sales tax
When shipping to Ascension Island, please note that this is an overseas territory of the UK, but it has its own customs and tax regulations. All shipments of goods are subject to customs inspection and can be subject to duties. The basis for the calculation is usually the value of the goods, including transport and insurance costs. In addition, an import sales tax is levied on many goods, which is based on the requirements of the United Kingdom. Certain products, such as alcohol, tobacco products or vehicles, may also be subject to excise taxes. All duties must be paid upon importation so that the shipment is approved by customs.
CUSTOMS ON GIFT SHIPMENTS
Gift shipments are not automatically tax-free. Small shipments from private person to private person can be processed in individual cases without additional charges if they are clearly marked as gifts and have only a low value. If the value is higher or if the shipment creates a commercial impression, the regular customs and tax duties apply. A clear declaration and realistic value statement make processing easier.
