S.D.
That doesn't always work SD...in the IRR, we've had some that had to pay VAT if the $ amount listed was too high. Its usually safe to check "Gift", then keep the value at $25.00 or below.
Really? That's strange! I have sent quilts out to be quilted to the U.S., checked off that it is a gift, and declared the true value and insured it for that value and there has never been a problem with having to pay duty/taxes.
