go to usps.com.. look up .. NM here's a link:
http://pe.usps.com/cpim/ftp/manuals/Imm/immctry.pdf
that is the IMM.. international mail manual.. it'll tell you what you can and can't ship for every country ousdie the US.
it also has some info as to what get's taxed and what doesn't.
always keep a copy of the customs form, at least it's number. that way you have a chance to track it to US customs and hopefully to and thru the other countries customs..
never mark it a gift. that's a crime.. it violates several different laws in both countries. customs fees are taxes and it's basiclly tax evasion.
you'll see other people here, say that i'm wrong, or that that is only my opinion; but they're the ones who try to cheat their own country out of money. it's a fact.
i work for usps. it's my job to turn in people who violate postal regulations or federal law.
so far, i haven't.. but i've only seen people say they have..hearsay. so far.
it's only a gift if you don't get anything, money or items, back for it.
some countries, like canada, charge no tax on.., .. here's the exact quote, "Goods valued under 20 Canadian dollars are duty and excise tax exempt."
someone else posted before something about listing them as models, and not haveing tax charged, but i couldn't find that paragraph.
each country is different.
maybe one of the mods or admins can sticky the link to the info section.. like all the xbox 360 warnings, from 2 years ago.
Heh, I was called a Grognard.
