The declared value
The forwarder uses what you declare. Accurate values are required by law and protect you in disputes — never undeclare.
Country thresholds
Many countries have a low-value de minimis threshold below which parcels clear without duty. Splitting an order into two parcels (each below threshold) can reduce duty legally if done in good faith.
Documentation
Keep your wallet receipts — they double as proof of value if customs asks. See payment methods.
