I assume your friends can send it to you as a present, without quoting any price tag. In the same package they can send u a birthday card and some sweets as well :) It's personal post, from Bob(your friend in us) to Gerard. No money or Tax involved. They dont even have to explain if the 10D is new or used. You can arrange for you to give the money to your friend in US privately. ======================== You may want to declare a value for insurance purpose, though. But I am not sure if this declared insured value will cause any duty or tax. Food for thought.
