Cosa devi fare per spedire tramite posta negli Stati Uniti
Hellenic Post ha collaborato con Zonos per offrire l'app mobile Prepay come un modo semplice e veloce per gli spedizionieri occasionali di continuare a spedire negli Stati Uniti soddisfacendo i nuovi requisiti. Hellenic Post è disponibile nell'app Prepay a partire dal 6 maggio 2026.
Utilizza l'app Zonos Prepay per il bancone al dettaglio
- Ogni volta che spedisci qualcosa di valore inferiore a $ 2.500 USD negli Stati Uniti tramite Hellenic Post, utilizza l'app mobile Zonos Prepay per pagare i dazi in anticipo.
- Quando lasci il pacco all'ufficio postale, mostra loro l'ID della dichiarazione o il codice a barre dalla pagina di conferma.
- Quando la posta consegna il tuo articolo al destinatario negli Stati Uniti, non gli verrà chiesto di pagare i dazi al momento della consegna.
Quanto costa?
Non sono previsti costi di abbonamento.
Per ogni spedizione viene addebitata una tassa di sdoganamento postale, chiaramente calcolata e mostrata insieme al calcolo dei dazi nell'app.
Passo dopo passo
Scarica l'app e crea un account
Scarica l'app Zonos Prepay da utilizzare per le spedizioni negli Stati Uniti. Non sono previsti costi di abbonamento: basta pagare in base al consumo. L'app richiederà solo il pagamento dei dazi (e includerà una commissione di sdoganamento/elaborazione) quando la utilizzi per spedire un articolo negli Stati Uniti.
Inserisci le informazioni sul tuo articolo (o semplicemente scatta una foto)
Scatta una singola foto che includa tutti gli articoli spediti o aggiungi più foto. In alternativa, aggiungi manualmente le informazioni sull'articolo. Se non conosci il codice HS, non preoccuparti: l'app classificherà automaticamente i tuoi articoli e fornirà il codice HS.

Paga i dazi
L'app calcolerà automaticamente i dazi applicabili e le spese di sdoganamento postale e richiederà il pagamento. Il pagamento può essere effettuato direttamente nell'app e viene elaborato nella valuta locale. I pagamenti dei dazi effettuati tramite l'app Zonos Prepay sono garantiti: nessun dazio aggiuntivo verrà addebitato a te o al destinatario.
Mostra prova di pagamento
Con i dazi prepagati, i mittenti possono ora spedire il loro pacco negli Stati Uniti. Per mostrare la prova del pagamento, mostra semplicemente l'ID della dichiarazione all'impiegato postale.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Additional information is available in our Prepay user guide.
Is the Prepay app available for Hellenic Post now?
Hellenic Post is available in the Prepay app as of May 6, 2026.
Do I need to use the Prepay app for letters and documents?
No, letters and documents are not subject to duties and therefore do not require you to use the Prepay mobile app. Use the app for standard shipments, gifts, and returns for shipments under $2,500 USD. Shipments over $2,500 USD to the U.S. do not require duties to be prepaid.
What if the app auto-fills incorrect item information?
When you use a photo to have the app pre-fill your item information, you will be able to review and edit the details before confirming and getting get a duty calculation.
What if my Declaration ID doesn't work?
If your Declaration ID doesn't work:
- Try it again. A re-try may be all that is needed, without taking up additional time contacting support.
- Check when you created it. Declaration IDs start in a pending state and expire if not used (linked to a tracking number) within 5 days. This way, you are not charged duties on shipments that you do not ship. If your Declaration ID has expired, you won't be charged for it. Simply use the app to get a new Declaration ID to ship your item(s).
- If it still does not work, please contact our support team at support@zonos.com.
Why was duty applied to my gift?
If your gift is valued at 100 USD or more, duties are required—even for personal gifts.
Why was duty applied when the item's MFN rate is 0%?
Duties include both MFN (what you think of as your standard duty rates) and tariffs applied via executive action—a breakdown is available in our 2025 tariff guide. Since the U.S. de minimis was removed, postal services collect Section 122 tariff rates (a flat 10% surcharge effective February 24, 2026) but not MFN rates.
The duty on my shipment is 0. Is this right? Do I still need to use the Prepay app?
Yes, some items are duty-free. The Prepay app will calculate the duty for you, and let you know when your shipment is duty-free, giving you peace of mind. You should still complete the shipment via the Prepay app so that you receive a Declaration ID that you can use to show to the postal counter. This Declaration ID communicates to the postal counter that you have paid duties (even if they are 0), and they can accept your shipment.
What if I have multiple boxes in my shipment? Do I need to process each box individually?
When using Prepay, enter the contents for each box one box at a time. If your shipment has 3 boxes, you'll need to enter the contents for box 1, pay for its duties, and get its declaration ID before repeating the process for boxes 2 and 3.
Are postal shipments subject to MFN, Section 301, Section 232, and/or Section 122 duty rates?
Before July 24, 2026, U.S.-bound postal shipments were only subject to Section 122 tariff rates—they had a temporary advantage where other normal duties (MFN, Section 301, Section 232, etc.) did not apply. Starting July 24, 2026, that advantage goes away, and Section 122 tariffs expire. At that point, postal shipments will be subject to normal duties (MFN, Section 301, Section 232, etc.), for the first time. In addition, we expect a new Section 301 forced-labor tariff (10–12.5% by country of origin, not yet finalized) to apply with a clean cutover from the expiring Section 122 tariff rate to the new Section 301 rate.
Why are there duties on returns?
According to CBP, U.S. returns are not duty-free and require duties to be paid.
There are a couple of exceptions where returns are exempt from duty:
- Un-deliverable items with the original U.S. S-10 Bar code and the package intact
- Refused items with the original U.S. S-10 Bar code and the package intact
What if I don’t have a Declaration ID?
Without a Declaration ID, the clerk can’t accept your U.S.-bound package. Don’t worry—you can quickly download and use the Zonos Prepay app right at the post office to get one, then drop off your package.
Will I have to still pay when I ship my package?
Yes, postage will still need to be paid to ship out your package. The app only covers the prepayment of duties for your shipment.
Continua a spedire negli Stati Uniti con Hellenic Post + Zonos
A U.S. executive order richiede il pagamento dei dazi su tutte le spedizioni prima dello sdoganamento negli Stati Uniti. A partire dal 24 luglio 2026, la soglia del pagamento anticipato dei dazi per le spedizioni postali aumenta da $ 800 a $ 2.500 USD. Se spedisci tramite Hellenic Post, devi pagare in anticipo i dazi prima che il pacco attraversi il confine. Hellenic Post ha collaborato con Zonos per semplificare questa operazione.
