I guess the best thing to do would be to expect the additional costs to be a thing, and just be relieved when they're not.
Sorry to be a killjoy but what you're suggesting is illegal (certainly in the UK) and the penalties can be severe. I won't take the risk.
Obviously only with smallish orders though. If you order £200 worth of product, don’t expect a retailer to mark the value of the goods at $20. But for smallish orders, many sellers are (in my experience anyway) willing to be helpful and flexible in this regard...
Interesting thread; here in Australia,at the moment we only get charged customs tax over $1000. Which is good,makes up for our sporadic dollar value.I have gone over $1000 a couple of times, once before the customs changes,and then about 6 months ago,however that was from a mate
Pretty much that and as Andrew points out, it's you that's liable if caught, not the sender. The worst I had was the opposite where for some reason Reaper Miniatures declared a $30 order as like $100 on the package and I got absolutely hammered. They said it was a computer glitch and offered $10 in store credit... The worst part is, if you do get charged the VAT then they calculate it on the value of the package plus the postage.

Books are not taxed at all where I live.
