There are times when buyers request the package to be marked as gift to save on customs fees or tax. If you were buying an item from the United States, will you ask your Buyer to declare the package as a gift with an lower actual price?
Did you know that falsifying custom forms is a Feredal offense in the United States and also many other countries?
In the United States, whoever knowingly violates or conspires to or attempts to violate the EAA, EAR, or any order or license issued thereunder, shall be fined not more than five times the value of the exports or reexports involved or $50,000, whichever is greater, or imprisoned not more than five years, or both.
Whoever willfully violates or conspires to or attempts to violate any provision of the EAA, the EAR, or any order or license issued thereunder, with knowledge that the exports involved will be used for the benefit of, or that the destination or intended destination of items involved is, any controlled country or any country to which exports or reexports are controlled for foreign policy purposes, except in the case of an individual, shall be fined not more than five times the value of the export or reexport involved or $1,000,000, whichever is greater; and, in the case of an individual, shall be fined not more than $250,000, or imprisoned not more than 10 years, or both.
So if you are not ready to pay the tax, if applicable, then do not buy from overseas. It's that simple.
