A friend in the UK has forwarded to me (via  a Post Shop) a package of letters and there is a Customs charge to pay on it. The contents have no commercial value. 

Does anyone know how the Customs declaration should be phrased to avoid this happening next time? 

Thanks in advance, Laurian.

I do not know but wish I did as my daughter sent me a card by track and trace from the Royal Mail cost her £9 and I had to pay €10 before I was allowed it from Correos.

What a rip off!!!!

I think mine is bills and/or statements, no commercial value. There must be a better way to deal....
