    The best trick, add words like 'gift' or 'trade samples' to the
    package. Morally wrong - yes, commercially viable for you and the
    client - well yes. And it does not affect shipping insurance. 

    This of course is a statement made on the assumption that we're not
    counting massive crates for trade here. Having family and some
    clients in the UK this has saved us all the hassle of unpredictable
    import / export duties. For me it even counts for anything sent to
    the USA as every country seems to have a quota on trade materials
    (i.e. gold, copper, cotton, sugar) imported / exported to /from
    another country for that given month. 

    All too confusing to get into trade agreements, but I thought I'd
    share my 'work around'.
