Gifts

There are many countries that allow duty and/or tax-free entry for gift shipments if the value is less than a specified amount. This amount varies from country to country and, in most countries, the shipment must be sent from an individual to an individual – with no company involvement or indication of involvement on the shipping documentation. 

Please note that duty and/or tax-free entry is only available for shipments to countries that recognize special-entry status for gift shipments and there is typically a maximum dollar amount. We encourage you to check the destination country's requirements prior to shipping.

The shipping documentation must be clearly marked 'Unsolicited gift - not for resale' and include a detailed description of the item(s). The air waybill must also include a brief description of the contents (e.g., 'Gift shipment of books and men's cotton clothing'). In addition to the general requirements, there are country-specific requirements.
