While you may have to ship packages a bit sooner than usual, it\u2019s worth the extra effort to ensure gifts and orders arrive on time. Your customers will appreciate having these dates ahead of time, boosting customer satisfaction throughout the season. <\/span><\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-globalpost-international-shipping-deadlines\"><strong>GlobalPost International Shipping Deadlines<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Country<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>GlobalPost<\/strong><br><strong>Economy<\/strong><br><strong>International<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>GlobalPost&nbsp;<\/strong><br><strong>Standard<\/strong><br><strong>International<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>GlobalPost Plus<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>GlobalPost Go<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Africa<\/strong><\/td><td>Monday, December 1, 2025<\/td><td>Monday, December 1, 2025<\/td><td>Tuesday, December 2, 2025<\/td><td>Monday, December 1, 2025<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Asia\/<\/strong><strong>Pacific Rim<\/strong><\/td><td>Friday, December 5, 2025<\/td><td>Monday, December 8, 2025<\/td><td>Tuesday, December 9, 2025<\/td><td>Saturday, December 6, 2025 <\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Australia\/<\/strong><strong>New Zealand<\/strong><\/td><td>Friday, December 5, 2025<\/td><td>Monday, December 8, 2025<\/td><td>Tuesday, December 9, 2025<\/td><td>Saturday, December 6, 2025 <\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Canada<\/strong><\/td><td>Saturday, December 6, 2025<\/td><td>Monday, December 8, 2025<\/td><td>Monday, December 15, 2025<\/td><td>Monday, December 8, 2025<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Europe<\/strong><\/td><td>Friday, December 5, 2025 <\/td><td>Monday, December 8, 2025<\/td><td>Friday, December 12, 2025<\/td><td>Saturday, December 6, 2025 <\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Latin America<\/strong><\/td><td>Monday, December 1, 2025<\/td><td>Tuesday, December 9, 2025<\/td><td>Saturday, December 6, 2025 <\/td><td>Tuesday, December 9, 2025<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Middle East<\/strong><\/td><td>Tuesday, December 2, 2025<\/td><td>Monday, December 8, 2025<\/td><td>Sunday, December 7, 2025<\/td><td>Monday, December 8, 2025<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>United Kingdom<\/strong><\/td><td>Monday, December 8, 2025<\/td><td>Monday, December 8, 2025<\/td><td>Friday, December 12, 2025<\/td><td>Saturday, December 6, 2025 <\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tips-for-international-shipping-nbsp\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tips for international shipping&nbsp;<\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Whether your business has decided to ship internationally for the first time this season or has been for 20 years, it\u2019s worth giving yourself a refresher on packaging international shipments. Higher shipping volumes can lead to packages being in transit longer than usual, and it\u2019s easy to make mistakes with an influx of orders. When shipping internationally, remember to:&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Accurately complete all customs paperwork<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Confirm addresses with customers before shipping<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Package shipments for both hot and cold temperatures<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Carefully wrap fragile items and include orientation arrows for proper handling&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-international-shipping-restrictions-nbsp\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">International shipping restrictions&nbsp;<\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Additionally, it\u2019s worth brushing up on international shipping restrictions to avoid any penalties,&nbsp; returned shipments, or even confiscated packages. Shipment restrictions can vary depending on the destination country, which carrier network is being used, and the import\/export regulations in transit. Some items that can\u2019t be shipped internationally through GlobalPost are:&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Aerosols&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dry ice&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hemp-based products (including CBD)&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Lithium batteries&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Nail polish&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Perfumes (containing alcohol)&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Perishable items&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">More information about <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goglobalpost.com\/faqs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">international shipping restrictions<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> can be found on our website.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The holiday season doesn\u2019t have to be stressful, and neither does international shipping.
