rogerthat Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 If you declare a high value for customs, yes it will be taxed If you declare $25 or so then no It will not be taxed, risk you run is if they inspect it and decide you under declared to hide actual value Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rogerthat Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 (edited) You can't insure for more than you declare for customs value You have to fill out a customs form listing value and contents Many shipping options don't permit insurance on international shipments from us anyway Also many don't provide tracking even for extra $$$ Best way IMO is air mail registered with low customs value and no insurance but that is your call depending on your and the recipients risk level Air mail registered would cost roughly $18 for a small box or padded envelope and would provide full tracking This service is not offered online, at PO location only Edited November 23, 2012 by rogerthat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
