How to legally send goods purchased from me from the Russian Federation abroad?

Question

Individual entrepreneur

I am IP. I have a website that sells products of my own production. There are orders from abroad (paid through Internet acquiring). While there are only a few orders, I send them by mail. At the same time, I put the mark "gift". It's somehow not right. Neither insure properly, nor quarrel, if that.
Question: Is it legal (I don't think so)? If it is illegal, then how to do it correctly, so that at the same time the cost of the goods is indicated, and so that you don’t really mess with customs?

Answer 1

For several years now, our online stores have been allowed to ship abroad without unnecessary formalities.
Like 3 years.
That is, our customs does not interfere with anything.
Check with the recipient.
Maybe your "gifts" to him are unnecessary problems.

Answer 2

In the description of your shipment, you can specify anything. Customs declaration of the parcel upon receipt is the responsibility of the buyer. The rules for importing goods from abroad are naturally different in each country.
For example, in the United States, parcels with a FOB value (declared value, excluding shipping and insurance) up to $ 800 are exempt from paying customs duties. Customs duty in other cases may be up to 37.5% of the FOB amount.
Indicate the actual contents of the parcel and the cost of its contents. But when selling the goods, indicate this to the buyer in the terms of delivery so that everything is transparent.

by the way, it is worth thinking about the DOS and the return of VAT on exported goods. But we need to figure out whether the returned 20% will justify the costs of the full customs clearance cycle and the maintenance of the DOS structure.
Plus, since the 90s, VAT refunds have been a good broth for scams and refunds have long been covered up.
