When sending via US Postal service a USPS Customs Declaration and Dispatch note (PS form 2976-A CP 72) is filled out and attached to the parcel. This has sender and addressee plus list of contents with value and postage cost. Declaring it as a gift helps in most destinations. In NZ theoretically, 12.5% GST is charged on the declared value (assessed value if no value declared). No other taxes/duty apply at this end, and most of us can claim this back anyway. Also for low value items they don't seem to bother charging this -too much paper work for them. UPS and Fedex have similar customs declaration forms.
