Express delivery companies with offices in Suriname include FedEx, UPS, and DHL.  Envelopes (documents) and small parcels such as study supplies and items not for resale, with the exception of electronics, are delivered to the door of the recipient in less than 24 hours.

 

Customs usually retains items that have a high value, weight, or volume.  Customs requires the recipient/company to submit the necessary documentation to release the shipment.  “Door to door” services do not speed up this process.
