I gather that light packet and small packet now require the HS forms and print out to taken to the post office, scanned, and where they give you another form to attach to the envelope for detailed information as to what is inside.
Is anyone concerned about telling the world what is in the envelope?
Where do tou put the white CN22 as well as the print out from the Post Office which is also large on say a 000 bubble mailer
I called the PO and they could care less, put it wherever you can was the answer I got.
They have no instructions or info to help so am posing here.
Any help would be appreciated
Not sure what you mean about "form". I use PP shipping and no form is required. All info is printed on the label. All that shows on my labels is part of my eBay title and the HS code for "coachwork".
I'm with the PO, it doesn't really matter. Anything under $200 is not going to be looked at anyway.
I use the labelopes that I order from CP online. Any paperwork goes in there and sticks to the mailer.

you referring to the form on following page?

If that's not the form you mean you can probably ignore the rest of my post.
At the top of the page it says...
Fill out your customs information online before you go to the Post Office. No need to fill out a paper form!
No paper form so I would think that you don't need the CN22 if you fill out this one. If the PO is giving you the customs form anyway..they are probably confused.
Although Paypal does require the HS info for light and small packet packages...I thought that the PO only required that for expedited and tracked packet right now??
That is what I have been told. Plus, again, everything is on the label when printing from Paypal Shipping.

Yes, you fill out the form and take it to the PO. They scan it and it prints a form about 1/4 of a 8x11 sheet which has to be attached to the envelope/package as well as the CN22 form. That is what I was told at the post office as well as when I called them for information.
Both forms are required. The PO also told me no more generic descriptions as customs needs to know exactly what is inside.
I thought the same that the extra form defeats the purpose of the HS number unless it was because it contained over $500 in value and requires a special form. I try to support my local post office but if I have to ge through all this BS due to CP, I may use Paypal as well.
It is CP management. The local boys and girls are told stuff in dribs and drabs. When an initiative is rolled out, they do pilot stores and roll it out bit by bit. That is why you get different stories.
I am fortunate, there is only one postal outlet in Dauphin. They are busy enough and don't need or want to do niggly work that slows things down. To them, if it looks good enough to go, it does.
"I gather that light packet and small packet now require the HS forms"
I do not know where you got that information but, at the local post office, they have printed forms clearly stating that HS code is not required for "light packet" and "small packet"
Canada Post does NOT require HS code on light packet and small packet
Pitney Bowes, managing the purchase of postage on eBay paid through PayPal, does.
It does not make it a postal requirement except for those wishing to buy their postage through PayPal.
There is a difference
