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