(Tax on your State, in Spain now is 18% over the total amount Goods+Freights+Duties) To consider this as a gift it depends of the shipper, if he has not declared Invoices, but I don't have experience on this. Ask the shipper if invoices are attached and for which value I hope this helps Saludos Lluis El 12/10/2010, a las 21:07, Tina Manley escribi?: > LUG - > > Arne is getting ready to ship my DMR and R9 using my FedEx account. > How is > customs handled in a case like this?
