This change is to help speed up the customs clearing process and significantly reduces the risk of parcels being held up at customs for further inspections.

Notes: Item Descriptions provided will not be visible/presented to any delivery personnel. Collected information will only be provided to customs officers solely for the purpose of clearing the customs checkpoint.
