Shipping documents from the USA to Ukraine
Check the original document, destination postal code and carrier rules before shipping. Price and timing depend on the route.
Steps to take
- Ask the recipient whether apostille and translation are complete. Keep a secure copy of the set and do not detach attached certificates.
- Nova Post via UPS Store publishes a reference price of $25 up to 1 kg, from seven days. This is a reference, not a personal quote or guarantee.
- Meest lists a letter/small packet up to 0.5 lb at approximately $20 and 7–14 days, with regional differences and possible surcharges. Meest prohibits shipping passports and ID cards.
- Provide accurate contacts and postal code, agree on the current total, and retain tracking and delivery confirmation. Dispatched does not mean delivered.
