Presents for people in Pakistan?

Reha, I’ve sent clothing to pk from usa using fedex and good ols usps. Both made it just fine. One bit of advise/trickery to keep in mind … when declaring value of your gifts on the customs section here … don’t put down a huge amount. I learned this recently but apparently … the recipients in pk need to pay customs duties for release of pkg.

So for example … I had sent someone an item of clothing approx $200 worth to lahore … upon arrival … cost of releasing that pkt was something like 20,000 rps
soooo everyone yelled at me and said … why didnt you just put down $1 or $20 … :hinna:
who knew! It does not occur to me to be automatically dishonest!

so there it … use the info as you will

gift ideas … honestly, buy the same as you would if they were here. I’ve been told … anything with a label goes over well … plus that it came from amreeeka

OMG wow…I had no idea about that! Im glad you told me because otherwise I am sure I would have done the same as you ehl.

I guess I am just nervous because I dont want to send them things they dont like…
