When the declared value is lower than the country general tax exemption amount, it is not a normally-taxed package. But this is not 100% bullet-proof, there are exceptions. According to our own track records, the probability of such parcel being taxed is less than 0.3 %.

Tips to avoid tax
- Parcel over 10kg has a higher chance to be regarded as a commercial package. If you choose DHL, you need to consider the volume weight also. We recommended that each consignment should not exceed 10kg if you do not want to pay tax.
- Avoid large quantity of the same product in the same package, since it has a higher chance of being classified commercial package. We recommend splitting into different parcels if you do not want to pay tax.
- Canada, Brazil, France and some European customs are rather strict on commercial courier such as DHL, Fedex, UPS, etc. We recommend using airmail or ems in some cases.
P.S. There is no guaranteed fail-safe procedure to avoid tax, above are just sharing of our past experience. FYR :)
