If you're sending a package to an EU country, you proceed as with domestic packages.
If you're sending a package outside the EU, also fill out the proforma/commercial invoice when placing the order, where you mark the requested information in English. The Tariff code is not mandatory. Please note that in the 'Country of origin' field, you should write the country code, e.g., FI
After paying for the shipment, you'll receive shipping documents and the proforma/commercial invoice, and for Posti shipments, also the CN23 form to print. For Posti shipments, it's sufficient to attach the CN23 form to the shipment along with the address label.
UPS shipments:
Put one copy of the invoice inside the shipment and attach another (folded) to the outside.
If the sender is a company, an electronic notification also goes to the shipping company. Private senders receive instructions by email about sending the proforma/commercial invoice and personal ID to the shipping company.
UPS needs a personal ID for export clearance (personal ID is the only way customs identifies private individuals). Export clearance is included in shipments, but in the destination country, the recipient may have to pay local import costs, taxes, and customs duties. There are many differences between countries in these.
