But after doing this for a while I have found that some countries are just not a good fit for me to export to. When I started shipping Internationally I shipped to any country. I read somewhere that you have to have at least a 10″ box or package to fit the form so if my box is smaller I just use a poly mailer around the box to make it fit! Which Countries Will You Ship To? You then put them into a customs form envelope from the USPS site and stick them on your box or package. That said, the ONLY difference about shipping Internationally is that you will print out 4 customs forms (that you need to sign and date) on plain paper. You can “follow along” as the package moves across the country and see where it is (your customer gets this same notification so you don't have to answer a whole bunch of questions about where their packages are!) One of my favorite things about the built in Etsy shipping is the they automatically add tracking to the packages. Now that might not sound like that much to you if you are just starting out, but shipping can be a big part of your costs as an Etsy seller!
