I do in fact have a person in the USA who can re-send the package marked as gift.
@Johbee - does "gift" automatically makes you exempt from taxes or they still can insist that I pay? and if they do, would they make up the price?
I'm finally buying the thing I chose tomorrow. It's a little figure on a chain (vermiel or gold/silver mix). I also went to USPS (american post) website and it says that jewelry is subject to restriction for Cyprus (here - http://pe.usps.com/text/imm/ce_018.htm - Registered items containing coins; banknotes; currency notes or securities of any kind payable to bearer; traveler’s checks; manufactured or unmanufactured platinum, gold, or silver; or precious stones, jewelry, or other valuable articles are admitted only under a license from the Cyprus Central Bank.)
I'm getting very confused.
Main question now - do i risk to get into trouble (big tax out of nowhere) when such item arrives in mail? Do they open and inspect parcels at cyprus post when they arrive?
Hope to finish this thing up tomorrow
I wouldn't say "gift" automatically makes it exempt, but like others have said it is Christmas. Just be nice and polite and normally they won't bother you. Especially for the sum you're talking about. My daughter's in Boston and will probably send several hundred dollars worth of Christmas gifts to her brother and sisters and I don't think I will get charged.
