Do I need customs forms for my international breast milk shipment?

All Milk Stork International Ship coolers come pre-labeled with a FedEx International Priority label. That label is marked “ETD,” which means your commercial invoice is already uploaded electronically. 🙌

📦 No paperwork, no printing, no stress.
Once your FedEx driver scans the label, all the required customs documentation is automatically available. You’re good to go.  (Check out the sample image below for a peek at what that label looks like 👀)

A few other things to know:

🚫 Milk Stork doesn’t schedule international pick-ups.
Plan to have your hotel coordinate a pick-up or drop your shipment at a FedEx location. You can find one here.

📅 Heads up on timing:
FedEx International Priority shipping typically takes 1–3 business days — but keep in mind, FedEx doesn’t operate internationally on weekends. Plan accordingly to keep things smooth!

🥛 Yes, FedEx ships breast milk and food.
No need to stress — it’s a totally normal shipment for them.

📧 Rare but possible:
Sometimes FedEx might ask for a bit more info (especially for milk heading to the U.S.). If that happens, they’ll email you directly. If they request FDA details, you can create an account here to get that sorted fast.
