Customs value: In case of loss or damage during transport, the declared customs value serves as the basis for determining the amount of reimbursement by the carrier. Unfortunately, a value above ~50€ leads to inappropriate import taxes for a grading service. Moreover, some simplified formalities such as the CN22 are only valid for customs values below 200€.
Therefore, we recommend declaring a customs value of 10€, usual for collectible cards.

Protect your cards with a soft sleeve and then insert it into a semi-rigid protection such as a toploader or card saver. Please stick a post-it on the sleeve to facilitate its removal from the toploader.

Heavy fully rigid protections will not be returned because their weight increases shipping costs.
