Can I send my luggage to friends or family overseas?

Some countries insist that only the owner of the personal effects can clear customs at the destination. See the Country Specific Requirements on the relevant destination page to see if this applies to your shipment. It is usually more straightforward if the shipper and the consignee (recipient) is the same person. To avoid complications and additional costs we would advise that clients should seek advice on this issue from the relevant Embassy or customs officials in the appropriate country.
