Customs descriptions in English 

Starting November 25, 2025, the web version of Zonos Prepay shows both:

• Your own item description in your selected language.
• A customs description in English just below it.

The English customs description is what the postal clerk will use when entering information for CBP, who require customs descriptions in English. There is nothing you need to enable—this appears automatically for all Zonos Prepay users on the web.

1. Click Calculate duties to generate an estimate.
2. To view a detailed breakdown, click Duty breakdown.
3. When ready, click Continue.

1. Enter your payment information to prepay duties and taxes.
2. You can click Duty breakdown again on the right to review the calculation details.
3. After payment, you’ll receive a Declaration ID — this proves you’ve prepaid your duties.

Important: You have 48 hours to take your package to a postal counter and present your declaration ID. After 48 hours, your declaration will expire.

After paying duties, you are ready to ship your package. Here's how:

1. Simply show your QR code with the Declaration ID to the postal counter.
2. The postal clerk will scan the QR code or manually enter the Declaration ID when generating your label.

Gifts over $100 USD are subject to U.S. duties and must have a Declaration ID. When using Prepay, you can select "Gift" as the shipment type to ensure duties are calculated correctly.

Depending on your post, you may need to have a Declaration ID even for gifts under $100 USD (although no duties will apply).

If you are not sure what is considered a gift, see our commercial invoice guide.

Zonos Prepay supports 15+ languages. By default, Prepay will display in the language that you have your phone settings configured to.

To adjust your preferred language:

1. Click on the Account icon in the top right of the webpage.
2. Click Change language.
3. Scroll through the list of available languages in the dropdown.
4. Tap your preferred language to select it.
