5$ gift? Seriously? - enoCeniP - 04-20-2016
That's a very creative customs declaration for a product I bought for 20$, right?

All packages should be marked as a computer board. I'm not sure why it was labelled as a gift. Sorry about the mislabeling.

No need for apologies. The fact that they mark it electronics with a value of $5 and allso mark it as a gift resulted in me NOT getting any extra taxes on my order. I appreciate this

The gift label is very common for electronics ordered from china. I've seen this a lot from aliexpress sellers to avoid customs charges. I don't think any of us mind.

Would you prefer to pay VAT and customs?
My order is a pledge for 4 boards and a couple of accessories valued at around $160. If they declare the whole amount, God knows how much I'll have to pay for tax and customs.

I was well pleased with my gift

Really, your first post is to attack and insult someone? While I am used to seeing things go through customs like this someone with ethics shouldn't be called stupid for having an issue with it.

Yeah, this is unnecessary. Please do not disparage other forum members.
