Postal export clearance requires customs presentation, electronic verification, payment of applicable charges, and confirmation that goods are not prohibited.

Export goods at a foreign post office are subject to customs directions, and packages cannot be opened without permission of the proper officer. Postal authorities must present goods and electronic declarations for screening, inspection, examination and assessment. The proper officer may verify entries and seek electronic clarifications or documents through the PBE Automated System. Export clearance may be permitted if goods are not prohibited and assessed duty and applicable charges are paid. Postal authorities must provide proof of export, electronic data and, where required, secure movement of goods.
