Sending gifts to the USA

Discodog · 2022-07-23 10:15:14

A good friend has moved to the US. I have read that I can send a gift, up to the value of $100. Does this include postage charges - the website isn't clear about this? Any other advice as to how to avoid problems - like the recipient being charged duty ? Is An Post the best option ? Thanks

why not buy on Amazon.com and choose the giftwrap option. Much easier. I do that for sending to a family member and godchild

But if sending, it is always the landed cost, so it will be the value including postage.
