To avoid fees (in EU, except Italy): item(s) value has to be under 80 USD, package has to be "GIFT" and looks like something sent by private person (no store logo, company address etc.), you should choose AirMail/Air Parcel as shipping method (it will arrive in 5-14 days) instead of EMS (all express parcels are checked more strictly).

Where I'm from the only sure way I've found to avoid taxes is if the parcel items are described as books, since books are free of taxes here.

Thanks a lot to both
