Abstract

A method for the prepayment by a shipper of customs duties and fees in a first country on shipments addressed for delivery in a second country that will be charged to the shippers' postage meter. For instance, if a package is mailed in the United Kingdom and delivered to a destination in the United States, the shipper's postage meter will place a Royal Mail postal indicia on the package for that portion of the postal delivery cost that is attributable to the United Kingdom post office and a United States Postal and Customs postal and customs indicia on the package for that portion of the delivery cost that is attributable to the United States Postal Service and United States Customs.
