yea, you are right, but unfortunately, there is no other way to ship from the US to lebanon...solo220 wrote@ironman my problem was that DHL is charging 11.6$ for clearance not the customs , they lied about that the customs taking the 22$, customs duty was 1.76$ only which is reasonable.
the funny thing is that there is vat on whatever you pay , i wonder why they didn't take 10% vat on vat . :-P
I usually fill it with the same address I filled on my credit card application form.themike10452 wroteCan anyone share his Billing Address form? I read that it should be your Lebanese address and not your virtual mailbox address. I am curious on how to fill in this address ... Does it work if I fill in anything inside?

The Lebanese standard ZIP Code is 9999 9999.themike10452 wroteAmazon requests a ZIP Code as well ...silverfox wroteUsually I use this form for my billing adress:themike10452 wroteCan anyone share his Billing Address form?

There's no point in them, for shipping purposes I always use 9999 9999 including the city's name.nuclearcat wroteIt is funny that most of Lebanese people don't know that zip codes exists for their country :)
For example Dawra - 1202.
I grabbed once list from some website and added to my wiki:
https://nuclearcat.com/mediawiki/index.php/Lebanon_postal_codes
Except that zip codes in Lebanon are 8 digit codes (first 4 are the region and last 4 which only libanpost knows are the building). I recall @Samer saying that you can call libanpost to get your full postal code. But I don't see a point if other shipping services don't know it.nuclearcat wroteIt is funny that most of Lebanese people don't know that zip codes exists for their country :)

Indeed, I compared my 8 digit postal code (that I got from Liban Post) to the list that nuclearcat posted, it seems it's a different system entirely. I have no idea which one is still actively used. The nice thing though is that usually they assign the same mail man to area, so if you started shipping things often, the guy will recognize you by name. Your goal then is to get the item to the right Liban Post distribution center (the one nearest to your house).I recall @Samer saying that you can call libanpost to get your full postal code. But I don't see a point if other shipping services don't know it.
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
Due to customers’ inquiries about incoming mail from China, LibanPost would like to announce the below:
In accordance with the customs’ law, all incoming packages and parcels from outside Lebanon, including China (AliExpress & others), are now subject to customs’ inspection and fees.
According to postal regulations, LibanPost cannot release any mail item nor send it to delivery prior to customs’ clearance, and cannot change or intervene in the customs’ declaration process or fees. We are committed to delivering right after customs’ clearance. Therefore, you will be receiving the goods with the customs clearance bill. It is important to note that time to clear customs varies and delays are currently occurring due to huge volumes at Customs.
To track your mail item, please go to: http://www.libanpost.com/TrackTrace/tabid/59/Default.aspx.
If your item is still with the Customs: we are waiting just like you for the items to be cleared to be able to proceed with the delivery and cannot provide exact and accurate information about the declaration process.
If there is no data: your mail item has not reached the Lebanese territory yet.
