Mailing Parcels to and from IPP26

You may send parcels before IPP26 by postal mail or by a parcel carrier (UPS, FedEx, DHL, etc.) to the following address:

Please arrange to have your packages arrive at least a week in advance (i.e., by July 20). For international shipments, you should probably allow at least thirty days for shipping and customs. When you mail your packages, please send an e-mail so that Ginda and Benji know what packages to expect.

We will also offer a complete parcel shipping service during IPP26, and we will sell boxes, packing material, and tape.

Customs

As of 1995, all Puzzles (including parts and accessories) brought into the United States, for business or for personal collection, are DUTY FREE, under the U.S. Customs Service, Harmonized Tariff Schedule, #9503.60.20.00. The Harmonized System Tariff Classification code is also known as the Schedule B number in the U.S.

Most customs officials are not familiar with this particular exclusion, so it can help to provide them with this "Schedule B number." The final invitation will include a handy card with this information. For a PDF version of the card, click here.
