Royal Mail Customs Form: Personal Name or Business name?

[Foresty_Forest]

I'm a sole trader and post large letter and small parcel sizes to the USA and worldwide. I use Royal Mail. Their customs form CN22 requires a name. Can I use my business name or must I use my actual personal name?

You and the business are one anyway. Its up to you.

I use my business name. Just ask RM to change it over if it goes out with your name on. If you have an online account you could change it yourself in account settings.

Ok thanks. I'm guessing that the customs rely more on X-rays than reading labels. At both ends of the journey.

Yes, even if they supply you the shipping labels as well. Its just more of a pickup and scan and drop again.

Plus it looks better for your customers to see a business name etc.

Thanks

You can use both your name and your business name, but it would be better to use your business name.
