AOA,

I am sending a gift to Lahore Pakistan and I am wondering if on the receiving end they have to pay customs?

Its a small package doesnt weigh much but sending from the UK i was told to sign a customs label which they put on the package what does this mean?

Thanks.

azim, firstly how are u sending it ? Through Royal Mail ? or through courier, I'd recommend Courier,

1) Its safer & u you are 95% sure that it will reach the person u are sending,

2) They will sort the customs out for you. Even though they will like to see the contents & may ask you to fill a form but thats normal procedure.

In most cases there will be no customs problem, unless u send electronics or cutomable item, but courier can advise you for that.

There is a similar thing you have to do here in the US postal service...You have to fill out the contents, items, each item's wt., cost of each item e.t.c....That cost me around 40 or 50 bucks...The arriving time was delinquently slow granted, it did reach there...

The courier (FedEx) was charging 172 bucks...

if local customs think that the recipient needs to pay cuty on it then they will ask tem to pay the duties.
