International Shipping
We're here to help with your International Shipping needs!
International shipping is complicated and requires several steps before your shipment can be handed over to a carrier. Use the resources on this page to assist in your international shipping.
Transtream - Customs Forms - Commercial Invoice
When using Transtream, all customs documentation (Commercial Invoice) are input, generated, electronically signed, and electronically sent to the carrier (or printed) when your package is processed at the Shipping Desk for UPS, FedEx, USPS, and DHL.
Export Control
You must obtain an Export Control Shipment ID # and Approval before shipping.
Due to the U.S. federal restrictions on exports and shipping to certain destinations, before shipping internationally we must take a few precautions. For your protection and that of the University, please complete the International Shipping Checklist before routing your shipment to the Shipping Department.
For questions about this form, please contact the University’s Export Control Administrator at VPR_Export_Control@colostate.edu or visit their website.
