Overcoming Obstacles: Sending Documents and Packages to Ukraine from USA

While a large number of people have moved to the US from Ukraine recently, there is a significant need to send packages and documents to their families, employers, schools, universities, hospitals, and social services. Despite the political tensions and difficulties, there are plenty of express delivery services ready to deliver your parcel from the US to Ukraine.

But still, people face various obstacles when trying to send something to and from the USA. Not all regions of Ukraine are available for delivery. Door-to-door delivery is offered only for large cities of Ukraine, such as Kyiv, Dnipro, Lviv. When sending personal belongings, books, appliances, household appliances, customers cannot be sure that the parcel will reach the addressee due to customs control procedures. In addition, some goods need customs clearance.

Finally, it's an almost useless attempt to deliver parcels or documents to the Eastern regions of Ukraine. Global courier delivery services, such as DHL, UPS, TNT, FedEX, either refuse to deal with US-Ukraine express delivery or make unworkable conditions. In 2023, it is impossible to send something to the east of Ukraine by any of the official delivery companies in the United States.

Here is what Time Saving Machine aggregator platform can do:

  • compare all offers of partner delivery services by price, terms or delivery time;
  • choose the best way to deliver a parcel or documents from the United States to Ukraine;
  • order delivery without leaving the same dialogue box on the site;
  • deliver parcels, documents or a small cargo to any of 240 countries of the world, including those with which other companies refuse to deal.

This is what saves you time and effort and keeps you from making mistakes when trying to deal with the wrong courier company.

What is forbidden to send to Ukraine from the USA by international courier service

U.S. laws and regulations prohibit the sale, transfer, or transportation of certain goods to certain countries. In addition, there are a number of products that require approval from the US export control authorities, including licenses. That is why it is strongly recommended not to try to send the following in the package:

  • firearms, weaponry, military equipment;
  • psychotropic drugs, cannabis, narcotics, substances that cannot be identified;
  • medical devices and materials;
  • live or dead plants, animals, lifeforms;

  • restricted communication equipment, anything that may be considered as technical data, software, technology;
  • items that are either prohibited from exporting from the USA or are banned from Air mailing.

Typically, postal services refer to huge lists of prohibited items and state that all responsibility lies with the sender. Time Saving Machine will provide you with a consultation to make sure whether the item is suitable for shipping or not.

If you'd like to send humanitarian aid or help unknown people you'd better contact a charity organization instead of trying to send a parcel to a definite person.

  • For letters and documents use a simple envelope and additionally protect with a plastic bag and sticky tape. If the stack is thick, it is recommended not to seal the package until the courier arrives and checks the package.
  • Fragile items should be packed with packing peanuts and a cardboard or wooden box. Before closing the box make detailed photos of the contents. Let the courier examine the box before sealing.
  • If the contents of the parcel include liquids, use boxes or tubes designed for bottles to insure safe international shipping. The container must be filled with an absorbent capable of absorbing the entire volume of liquid.
  • Feel free to use foam cushioning material, bubble wrap or extra cardboard sheets anytime.
