When you send international express, it is very important to fill in the correct declared value. The declared value refers to the value of the goods you send, which directly affects the customs duties and value-added tax that the recipient needs to pay.
If the value of the goods is not very high, it is best to declare it according to the actual value.
If you consider the tariff issue, you can refer to this price:
- Sales value of 30%
- Procurement Value
The lower of the two shall be reported.
If it is free or for other considerations, the minimum ratio is not recommended to exceed 1KG 10USD.
Secondly,If you send a package to the United States, you need to know that the US tariff threshold is $800, and you will need to pay tariffs if the amount exceeds this.(canceled), and Europe now has no threshold, which means that no matter how much money is, the recipient needs to pay VAT. In addition, in other countries, the specific value of the tariff threshold can be referred to the local customs website or consult the customs staff.
at last,Declaring too low a value will increase the risk of your package being inspected by customs. Customs may think that you have deliberately underestimated the value of the package and ask you to provide more supporting documents, such as proof of value and bank statements, in order to verify the true value and calculate relevant taxes..
In addition to filling in the declared value correctly, there are some other precautions. For example, do not send prohibited items or contraband, otherwise your package may be confiscated or detained. In addition, for special items such as liquids, batteries or medicines, you need to comply with local regulations and package and label them in accordance with regulations.
In short, when sending international express, please be sure to understand the local regulations and taxes to avoid unnecessary losses due to incorrect filling or sending prohibited items.
