If I want to send some of my old parts to a mate in France, what's the appropriate customs declaration? The stuff has value but there's no money changing hands. If they open it and see a bunch of used stuff, they're not likely to think "gift" is accurate so I wonder what to put down to avoid any bullshit taxes/fees?
Still a gift, but you will have to put the actual value down too. Not sure about French rules, but items worth over a certain amount will have some duties/tax applied, even if marked as gift.
