What is the safest way to send a 30lb box to another country?

How to avoid paying taxes and/or duties when mailing things from USA to another country?

  • I live in Chile and am getting a new camera sent to me from USA via mail. I am using a mail forwarding service in Miami that will then send it out to me. Is there a way I can avoid paying taxes when it enters Chile without having to remove the box? Thanks.

  • Answer:

    This depends on Chilean customs. Don't use UPS though because they'll charge some service charge on top of the custom tax. If the service in Miami can send it as gift on the custom form, it might help. I used to mail beanie babies to England when I was selling them on ebay, and I marked them as gift, and declared small value on the form. No one got taxed from it.
