Shipping to Lithuania

Be aware that when shipping to Lithuania you need to mind the metric system which is what they use there.  Also be mindful that some service providers, such as the Lithuania post, does not offer insurance on any kind of their packages.  This is important to note if you are trying to ship something of value and would prefer it to have insurance associated with it for safety concerns. 

Customs in Lithuania

You will need to fill out Customs forms before you ship something to Lithuania.  These forms include Packing list with a valued inventory, and a certificate of origin.  The forms required by the Customs department in Lithuania are subject to change at any given time so it is best to check just before shipping there.  Customs has the right to search any and all shipments that are being sent their country and have the right to seize property if it does not adhere to their guidelines or is a prohibited item.  There are going to be duties (fees) associated with shipping most things of substance over to Lithuania such as any automobiles, furnishings or anything of a significant value.

Preparing your shipment to Lithuania

Before you ship your package to Lithuania, you should consult your shipping company for advice on the best way to ship it.  They will have guidelines for packing materials they recommend such as packing tape and standardized boxes of certain shapes and sizes.  They may also suggest having a tracking number associated with your package which is always a good idea when shipping a long distance.
