Posting Christmas presents to Australia - customs form - Help!

Hi Smile
I am sending a Parcel of Christmas presents to Australia (haven't done this before) and see I have to fill in a customs label.
If I do this though, the person will see what's inside and the surprise will be ruined!
Does anybody know a way around this? Is this just what has to be done?

Sorry if I sound not too bright asking this 😂

Thanks.

You can write "Cosmetics" or "Household Decor" or whatever...what is in it?

pjsrock2020 · 15/11/2020 10:07

Ah, thank you. That's what I was wondering, if you could get round it like that somehow.
It's sunglasses, a book and a couple of cans of drink that you can't get there.

I don't think you'll be allowed to post the drinks...Australia have very strict rules about consumables being posted.

send.dhlparcel.co.uk/resources/sending-food-australia

This states no liquids unfortunately.

You CAN send
Chocolate and sweets
Biscuits (shop bought and packaged
Tinned goods
Spreads and preservatives (including jam, marmalade and Marmite)

Ah, ok. Thanks for that. I'll leave that out.
What would you put on there for sunglasses do you think?

Fashion accessories.

FortunesFave · 15/11/2020 10:19

Eyewear is a bit obvious...you could put "Accessories"

pjsrock2020 · 15/11/2020 10:23

Excellent! Thank you so much!
Made my day 😁😁

for sunglasses, I'd put PPE.

What is PPE? Protective eyewear or something?
