You think, why is it so much harder to&nbsp;ship to such a destination? It can\u2019t be because they\u2019re islands. After all,&nbsp;shipping to Hawaii&nbsp;is treated the same as shipping to any other state such as&nbsp;Alaska. Furthermore,&nbsp;Puerto Rico&nbsp;is much closer to the mainland than&nbsp;Hawaii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style='border: 1px solid #E2E8F0; border-left: 6px solid #20EE88; padding: 1.5rem; background-color: #F9FAFB; margin: 2rem 0;'>\n  <strong>How to Ship to US Territories (Puerto Rico, Guam, and More):<\/strong>\n  <ul style='margin-top: 0.75rem; padding-left: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.6;'>\n    <li>US territories are treated as domestic shipments but may still require customs forms depending on the carrier.<\/li>\n    <li>USPS treats most territory shipments as domestic with minimal documentation; FedEx\/UPS often require customs forms.<\/li>\n    <li>Each territory (PR, GU, AS, VI, MP) has unique carrier rules\u2014check state codes, customs requirements, and how carriers classify the destination.<\/li>\n    <li>Use proper state codes (e.g., PR, GU, AS, MP, VI, FM, MH, UM) for accurate delivery and documentation.<\/li>\n    <li>ShipStation helps simplify address validation, documentation, and cost-saving shipping to all US territories.<\/li>\n  <\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<p>Some&nbsp;carriers, such as&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipstation.com\/blog\/ups-fedex-and-usps-shipping\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">FedEx and UPS<\/a>, even require you to&nbsp;use the territory\u2019s name&nbsp;in place of the country name. Furthermore,&nbsp;carriers&nbsp;may even&nbsp;require you to fill out&nbsp;customs forms (Commercial Invoice). Despite this caveat, these&nbsp;shipments&nbsp;are still treated as&nbsp;domestic shipments.&nbsp;Even though&nbsp;these&nbsp;shipments&nbsp;may never go through customs, they&nbsp;frequently in this weird grey area where they still need to have the same documentation as an&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipstation.com\/blog\/start-selling-shipping-internationally\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">international shipment<\/a>.
