Hi everyone,
This is completely off-topic, but I know that there are many members
here who do a lot of shipping of product overseas and I'd like your
opinion. I usually don't sell anything to anyone overseas (it's a
hassle), but recently I made an exception. After the sale was made, the
buyer is now asking me to note it as a "gift" on the customs forms so
that he does not have to pay import taxes.
Is this standard? My first thought is, "Forget it!" and just note down
the actual value he paid. However, I seem to recall that just about
anything I've ever purchased from overseas sellers always seems to have
it marked as a gift on the customs forms. So, the question: Is this
standard practice?

Yes, it's standard practice. No, it's not strictly legal. No, I don't do
it.
