I would use a cn23 and declare a worth of 0.5$ per chip or so. Thats a value thats realistic to customs. Of course you would pay vat on it. But better than risking problems.

Thanks for info, SebastianJu!
What about quantity? Russian customs may think, that 150pcs - is a "for commercial use", and it will be difficult (or very expencive) to make all "papers" for customs.
Did you (or someone)) have expirience sending such quantities to Russia?

Is there someone from Russia? I'm worried about our customs.
Maybe you can advise something to write in custom declaration for 150 chips package?

@zefir,
and how it ended up with declaring chips? Was there an Invoice of some sort? What about customs?

There is a pro-forma invoice included with a very low price tag. If accepted, there will be no VAT but only custom handling fees to pay.

I'll know for sure when I get the invoice from DHL within a week or so.

Thanks for reply

How will shipping be handled when we finalized the shipping address and chips arrived?
I mean paying for shipping etc.?

Since I have no information on how the chips are declared and therefore do not know what additional costs (VAT, customs, handling, etc.) to expect, I'll ship first and ask for payment later.

For reference, prices for sending parcels through SwissPost are listed here (rate: 1CHF ~ 1.07USD). I'll try to lower those costs by sending from EU, otherwise the prices listed there for Urgent parcels (handled through TNT global) are the worst case shipping costs to expect.

I am very interested to see how this will turn out regarding additional costs.

Chips.

Got them delivered in the afternoon, too late for immediate re-shipment.

Package contains 4 smaller packages with 3x sealed ESD bag with 2600 chips each + 1x opened ESD bag with 2200 chips.

I was hoping to get them in reels and be able to cut them easily in smaller portions. With the 26x10 QFN48 trays they are delivered in, distribution becomes difficult. I tried hard to get empty reels to split them in smaller chunks, but could not find a distributor for low volumes. Now I'll have to ship them in small ESD bags - like I did with the samples.

It will be a long night for me to re-pack everything for distribution, hopefully ready in the morning to drive to Germany for shipping.

Cheers

I registered through the website a couple of days ago. But I still haven't got any confirmation email. How long should I wait?

Hm, what confirmation are you waiting for? If you entered the shipping data correct and locked it by signing with your address on file, you can download your receipt and that's it. There is no additional confirmation. Or you meant something different?

I meant step 1. After registration (sign a random message), I still couldn't sign in. "Once your signature is verified, you can log in with the credentials you provided."

You cannot sign or cannot login?

I signed the message. I can't log in.

Well. It was my mistake. I tried to use my email to sign in. In fact, I should have used my forum user id to sign in.

Thank everybody for the help.

In case you ship one of these trays you might go the avalon route. Put a piece of cardboard on the top and fasten it so that the chips dont hop out. And for smaller amounts of chips use a simple esd bag only.
