- If you are sending a shipment that contain strategic items*, please ensure that you
i. indicate the export permit number on the description column on the air waybill
and commercial invoice;
ii. place an STA label with the export permit number on the master package. If
you do not have an STA label, please write STA with a red marker pen.
iii. inform our Customer Service Representative that you are sending an STA
shipment.
iv. email/fax the air waybill and commercial invoice to our Customer Service
Representative. - If you are sending a shipment for C2 declaration, please ensure that you
i. identify and mark the shipment type clearly on the air waybill;
ii. place the relevant C2 label on the package and the commercial invoice.
