Trader & Shipping Support / Question about custom form
« on: October 24, 2013, 03:19:00 AM »
I just thought of something. Lets say I have something I am shipping out to a friend in another country with a different currency. I could do my customs form in their currency so the rate would be what it would actually cost them in that country to buy it?
Like say I pay 45.00 USA dollars but its going to be a gift and going to someone in say the UK. The UK equivalent of 45.00 is like 32.60 I think. That is a 12.40 difference in price. If I put on the customs form the 45.00 value its more expensive for them to pull out of customs. Could I put 32.60 Euro on there instead so the value is actually what they are getting in their own currency?
Do the custom's agents convert the USA values on the forms to the Euro before they determine a fee?
Would this be illegal? Or legal?

Yes I am bored but humor me! 
I look for lots all of the time, but they are full of ponies I already have. I miss getting a lot of ponies in the mail to clean and adding them to my collection. Now when I shop, I can usually only buy 1 or 2 at a time because, I have such a limited wanted list. I have collected for so long now and, I have so many ponies. What is it going to feel like when I run out of ponies I want? The hunt for ponies is just as much fun as the package in the mail. I feel I am getting so close to not needing very many. Its kind of sad for me. Has anyone felt this way before?
