Liberia and Sierra Leone: Line the box with a plastic bag. Tape boxes all the way around. Itemize items in the box in detail. One label goes on the side of the box. Do not cover the label entirely with tape. A copy of that label should be placed in an envelope lightly taped to the top of the box. You can direct your boxes to Liberia or Sierra Leone.
