When sending to USA all freight has to be approved by customs. You'll therefore require a Customs Invoice for your shipment. This identifies the total of tax and duties you'll need to pay. Remember Speedshift can help with all of the documentation

 

Zero duties will be implemented if the cargo value is below specified thresholds. For example, a Gift limit is $200. If you're sending a gift to the USA by Air Freight mark it "unsolicited gift" on the invoice, the description and value. Make sure that you deliver the gift to a residential address and not a US business address, otherwise you're going to charged duty and tax. If your cargo is worth over $2,500, it may be delayed as it needs to go through formal customs clearance.
