but whereas it used to be that a lot of packages of second hand toys got through and most gift packages got no charge, now they do. And most of that charge is the handling fee and NOT the charge for actual import.
So should you put the value down as your country's currency, or the receiving country's currency?
Would it cause issues if there was a case and a refund was required but the post office argues the value because of the currency?
I don't have much to add except... what currency should you put the value down as?I've very rarely posted internationally but I've heard of customs officers not looking at the currency and overvaluing packages when converting into local currency. For example: the package is worth $45 USD, or roughly £35, which is under the £39 limit but the customs officer sees '45' and thinks £45 and slaps on fees that shouldn't be applied.So should you put the value down as your country's currency, or the receiving country's currency?
