Appliances Shipping Cost from Chisinau to Istanbul

Shipping a 20 lb package costs roughly $20-$40 for ground services (UPS, FedEx, USPS Ground Advantage) for shorter distances, but can range from $13 to over $100+ for faster or international options, depending heavily on the carrier, speed, and distance (zone). USPS Ground Advantage is often economical, while faster FedEx/UPS options like Next Day Air become much pricier, and sometimes splitting into lighter boxes (under 20 lbs) can be cheaper with USPS.

Shipping Regulations and Restrictions Laptops must be declared on EAD (Electronic Advanced Data) customs forms when shipping from US to Turkey. Maximum value allowed without incurring import duties is $1,500 USD. Lithium batteries must be installed in the laptop and cannot exceed 100 Wh rating.

Yes, you can ship electronics internationally, but it requires careful attention to lithium batteries, specific carrier rules (like DHL, FedEx, USPS), proper packing ( fragile ), accurate customs forms, and potentially voltage/plug adapters for the destination country. The main challenge is lithium batteries, which are considered hazardous materials (HAZMAT) and have strict air transport rules, sometimes requiring ground shipping or specific labeling.
