Anybody have a explanation or know how to get this done?
Maybe.
Ship printed circuit boards to Germany, from the U.S., using a 'Priority Mail International Flat Rate' medium box. (or small, or large too)
AFIK, you gotta use customs form 'PS Form 2976-A'?
On the form, if you describe the 'goods' as 'printed circuit boards'...
You can use Harmonized System (HS) Code 8534.00.00
I think you keep one carbon copy, the post office keeps one too... but copy(s) go in a little pouch, affixed to the box.
AFAIK, if you don't fill out the form... one or all of the following will happen.
USPS won't take it, it won't get accepted into Germany, and it might get returned.
Not sure if the 'receiver' will have to pay duty, when he gets it in Germany; but the HS code might help determine that.
Not sure why USPS, or a USPS agent says you can't do it... when people do it all the time.
?
