Why regular post is not suitable for business shipments
Standard postal items pass through several consolidation centres before reaching the customs of the destination country. For private correspondence this is acceptable. For a business that needs to know exactly when a batch of goods or samples will arrive at the warehouse — it is not: unpredictable timeframes and minimal tracking complicate procurement and production planning.
How business delivery works with SEMERO
- Courier collection at your address. Through the online service, you book a pickup directly from the supplier in the USA — no need to take the goods to a post office or terminal yourself.
- Advance document checks. Our broker verifies the invoice, product description and recipient (the company) before shipping — this is where most future customs delay causes are resolved.
- Online tracking. The real status of your cargo at every stage of the route, not just "in transit" without details.
- Customs clearance in 1–2 days. After arrival in Ukraine, if the documents are in order, the cargo is cleared quickly — without weeks of waiting.
What businesses ordering from the USA should pay attention to
- Weight: from small samples (5–10 kg) to batches weighing up to 70 kg.
- Value up to €150 — not always duty-free. If the delivery cost exceeds the value of the goods (for example, €20 of goods + €200 delivery), the shipment is still subject to customs payments. Our logistics specialist and broker take this nuance into account at the booking stage.
- Documents. A detailed description of each item with its value and a correctly specified company as the recipient significantly speed up clearance.
