• In order to prevent deduction from customs, you can mark the ordinary parcel as a personal gift, because it’s a small ratio for deducting by custom as a personal gift.

• Lower the declared price, for the deduction rate for valuables, is super high. Besides, after the customs deducts the goods, the customs clearance fee is calculated according to the declared value. The higher the declared value, the higher the customs clearance fee. Similarly, if you need to return the product to the customer, please also pay attention to let the customer write the value of the declaration a little lower.  

• Mastering all nations’ policies. For example, the clearance in Australia is easy, but there is a permit for battery type in custom. Therefore, battery and products with electromagnetism are relatively hard to pass the custom, trying not ship to Australia. If it’s necessary for selling products with battery, you can tell customers that the product in parcel with no battery for the policy.

• The heavier of the parcel, the possibilities of deduction by customs is higher.

• Different products have a different rate of deduction by customs, like the rate of the electronic product is higher than cloths.

These measures are just to lower the chance of being deducted.
