And if they think that is too low, they can open it up and revalue it and charge you based on that.
Essentially, they can do whatever they want, I left something valuable I bought in the UK in the US and had a friend post it back.
To get round customs I posted my friend the original UK till receipt, they stuck a copy on the box, left a little note and put the original UK receipt inside the box.
Still got stung for VAT and Duty, questioned it and was told I could query it in writing and that was about it.
