Military postal facilities use gateways in the United States to connect your mail with the United States Postal Service (USPS). Shipping costs and procedures are roughly the same as those in America. All mail must have the following to be sent or received:

• First and last names of both sender and receiver.

• Recipient or sender names must match those affiliated with the military postal box.

• A customs form to ensure the contents abide by local area restrictions.

Visit www.usps.com/international/customs-forms.htm to fill and print a customs form. Post Office personnel can also help you fill out a customs form at the facility; however, this can be time-consuming. Click-N-Ship services are also available at many military postal facilities.
