It is up to you to decide this value, we simply put the value that you tell us to. For example, in the United States, personal items exceeding $800 will be charged with customs tax. If the value is less than $800, you do not have to pay customs tax in the United States. It is your responsibility to know how your Local Customs Agency functions and what they charge. Insurance Value: If you want to insure your package through the Shipping Carrier, your package will only be insured up to the value you put in this field. Both Customs and Insurance values share the same field because they have to be the same. You cannot claim, for example, that your package is only worth $10 to your Customs Department and then claim insurance for $100 if your package is damaged. Please note that the published shipping rates are for door-to-door delivery. You may also be liable to tax and import duty, which differs from country to country. Many countries have a duty-free limit where goods below a certain value can be imported without duty and/or tax.
