Declaring a parcel means filling in information about the parcel (which includes the name of the sender, tracking number, cost and description of the goods, as well as the website where the goods were purchased) in order to avoid possible delays in delivery and deliver the parcel to Georgia on time. Declaration of all parcels is mandatory.

To declare, you need to visit the Oki Post profile in the "In the warehouse" section of the "User Panel" and follow the instructions.Please note that if you incorrectly indicate the value of the goods when declaring, your parcel will be subject to a customs fine. In the first case, the fine for individuals is 40% of the tax value, and in the second case it is set at 100%. The penalty for legal entities is 100% of the tax value. The user is fully responsible for the process of parcel declaration.
