Declaration Basics
What is a customs declaration?
A customs declaration is a document that lists the contents and value of an international package. It allows customs authorities to assess import duties and taxes.
Who fills out the declaration on Kakobuy?
Kakobuy fills out the declaration on your behalf. You can set the declared value and item description in your shipment settings before submitting for dispatch.
What declared value should I use?
Most buyers declare below their country's de minimis threshold (the value below which no import tax is charged). Check our Customs Guide for your country's specific threshold.
What item description should I use?
Common descriptions include 'personal clothing', 'personal items', or 'apparel'. Avoid brand names, especially for replica or inspired products.
Safe Declaration Strategies
Research Your Threshold
Every country has a de minimis value. Declare below this to avoid import VAT and duties automatically.
Split Large Shipments
For large orders, split into multiple smaller shipments to stay below your country's threshold on each.
Use Generic Descriptions
Always describe items generically. 'Personal apparel' or 'clothing items' are safer than specific product names.
Keep Documentation
Keep records of what you bought and declared. If customs queries your package, having receipts helps resolve issues.
