How to Send a UPS International Package

Summary: Find out how to send a UPS international package through UCSD Mail Services and recharge the cost to your department index.

In the right place? If your UPS package weighs over 30 pounds, contains hazardous material, or contains items other than documents bound for a foreign destination, do not follow these instructions. UCSD Shipping must process the package.

Important: When preparing your international mail, the most important consideration is the contents. Also, be sure UPS serves the country you want.

What to do

Consider your insurance needs.
