The parcel must be properly packaged before dispatch: this process requires compliance certain rules.
But some nuances remain at the discretion of the sender, for example, the choice of packaging. The sender can pack the parcel in any soft shell, cardboard, wooden or plywood box, polymer container.
It is necessary to take into account possible mechanical effects on the cargo, so the packaging must be selected so that valuables are not damaged during shipment. But the packaging method when sent abroad should not deprive customs officers of the opportunity to inspect the cargo.
