Re: si cage in and im pissed!!!
i put $175 in the value box and did not send it as a gift and he didn't have to pay a duty , i think certain things throw up a red flag for customs although i don't know what those things are......

+1 Next time ask for the sender to write gift and also write down a value under $60.00 so you don’t get raped on country/duty taxes some countries charge based on the value of the item.

Re: si cage in and im pissed!!!
Just like a few others have already said...
If you want it duty-free, you need to get the sender to put a low value on the item (and mark it as a gift). The drawback to this is that the sender can't insure it for $200 if he puts $15 as the value. You take a risk doing this, but it can save you quite a bit on taxes when you receive it.

Riiiiight. That's because you live in another country guy.
That seems a little harsh.
