How to fill out a customs declaration on ShipITo.com?

Question

Blogs

Still, I decided to buy in the Apple US Store through ShipITo.com. I buy iPhone 4s. A reasonable question arose - how to fill out a declaration?
What to indicate in the type of parcel - Gift / Merchandize ...?
What to include in the description? (Mobile phone, Electronics.....)?
Meaning - you need to reduce the likelihood of theft and, secondly, so that you do not slow down for a long time at customs.
Thank you!

Answer 1

My personal experience: I always put Merchandise, ask Shipito employees to remove all documents from the package (the service costs 8.5 bucks) and after that I indicate a reasonable price below the customs clearance limit. Works 100%. The type of parcel does not attract the attention of customs officers, the lack of payment documents does not give grounds to see discrepancies between the declared price and the real one.
For an iPhone, I advise you to write "Portable communication unit" and the price is about $ 100. If they ask, we can say that I bought it at a super sale, although, of course, it is better not to attract the attention of customs.

Answer 2

Set up merchandise.
It is foolish to reduce the cost of the shipment, if it is stolen from you at the Russian post office, you can return the cost of the shipment, otherwise you will return the underestimated cost.

Answer 3

I ordered a macbook air from BestBuy. Set a real price. Wrote Electronic Part ##### I was afraid of theft, but it seems to have passed.
The type of parcel is always set to gift.

Answer 4

I used shipito, 3 phones, each one sent in a separate package, all of them were opened to customs ... Well, everything was clean there, the cost was lower than customs, I didn’t take out invoices - the customs had no questions ... But the very fact that someone was in the box climbed - not very happy, because someone could have liked the phone. Now I began to use the services of another intermediary, meest.us/- when working with them, they have their own specifics, but there is no fee for combining a parcel like in a ship, and the delivery cost is usually cheaper - one phone was delivered to me on the ship for an average of $ 35, and the Bridge - for $ 25-27. Moreover, they have such a pleasant opportunity - to clear the goods at 10% of the cost - that is, without fear, you can send even more than the duty-free limit and not pay 40% at customs (Ukraine). It's also nice that the parcel does not go by mail (at least to Ukraine). In Ukraine, the parcels are delivered by the courier service Most-Express, they bring them straight home in their hands, in general, so far I am satisfied. If anyone wants to try it, please contact me, I will tell you the intricacies of working with this intermediary.

Answer 5

and if he sent the e-book back to the seller from ebay, indicated “gift” and “electronic book” in the declaration, but did not indicate the price ... is it fraught with something? or nothing wrong?
