Question to santas from USA. When you send items, do you send them as a gift? I got to pay parcel fees for my SS gift... After almost 5 months...So im curious.
Im pissed of because my post office didnt inform me about fees when they delivered box, just now out of nowhere.

Sounds like a import VAT charge. I think because of the abuse of gifts, the UK now for example imposes a threshold on the 'value' of the gifts/imports on which import VAT + duty is charged. Rules should be consistent within the EU as I think this is to tackle cheap imports/competition from outside the EU and encourage local trade or local expensive ripoff prices =p

Bottom line is to ensure the value reported is low as nowadays they tend to look at the 'value' and disregard the fact that it's a gift, you may want to check on the threshold for when this kicks in for Poland.

I usually do send it as a gift, especially for Secret Santas. It's unfortunate though if it ends up charging someone VAT or a similar import duty. Typically I'd report them as the $25 or whatever we deemed the appropriate "gift max" in the secret santa though so no one is surprised suddenly and hit with an unexpected (and high) duty bill for a gift that they knew nothing about. That's just me though Also, thanks for bumping this thread -- I REALLY need to take and post some pictures of my Secret Santa gifts this year, Mrs.Clause did such a fantastic job that I feel bad I'm not publicly showing my appreciation and gratitude! I'll definitely be posting them sometime before the NEXT Secret Santa though, at least I can stick to THAT commitment timeline!
