So here is the scoop from the student center on what to do about packages. You can technically send mail to my house, but usually this is safer. Let me know if you guys have any questions!
Packages sent from abroad
If you are having packages sent from the US, please make sure to have the sender follow these guidelines:
- DO NOT DECLARE/INSURE a high value on the package (keep it under $20.00)
- Write “Used items for Personal Use Only” and “NOT for RESALE” in the space that asks for a description of the contents
- Do not declare medicine, cosmetics or food items as such (put them in a package with other items that you CAN declare)
If the sender does not follow these guidelines, you risk paying high customs fees (as new items can fall into the category of resale). These fees are sometimes higher than the value of the package contents. If you refuse to pay the fees, the package is returned to the sender but the sender must pay the return postage fees!
We are happy to accept packages at the Study Center and should there be a small fee to pay we can pay it for you if you are not here and ask you to reimburse us. Generally if it is over 20 € we need to contact you before accepting the package to get your approval to pay the fee.
