<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ken Dorney, post: 3008189, member: 76086&quot;]Its been long time since I have used paper forms, but most procedures and regulations are still current since I have.&nbsp; As I recall there is an international exemption for taxes around $1400 or so (dont quote me on that!!!).&nbsp; The biggest difference between now now and then:&nbsp; in the old days customs forms were placed <i>inside</i> the package.&nbsp; Now they are printed on the label and on the <i>outside</i> of the package.&nbsp; This means that regardless of the value and tax status the value must be visible to anyone and everyone who looks at the package.</p><p><br /></p><p>This of course means that the package is vulnerable to theft base on what we declare. Many dealers will declare the value much less than the actual invoice amount, not because the are trying to avoid tax issues (there are none under the threshold, as per various countries regulations) but because the are trying to reduce the possibility of theft of the contents.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I have seen many major auction houses declare the contents as &#039;$0&#039;, but others as actual.&nbsp; I cant and wont advise anyone as to what they should do.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
