Shipment Routing
All new vendors and existing vendors that do not ship regularly must complete the International Shipment Routing Questionnaire prior to their first shipment.

Complete a new questionnaire whenever there are any changes to your ship locations or contact information.
Shipper's Letter of Instruction
L.L.Bean Transportation will provide a Shippers Letter of Instruction indicating L.L.Bean's designated Forwarder and U.S. Customs Broker once the International Shipment Routing Questionnaire is received. This letter will also be sent to the designated L.L.Bean Forwarder and U.S. Customs Broker.
