I've been able to get flies overseas in my bank check-boxes by labeling them
'gifts' or 'craft supplies' - value $10.

Another reason I like the check boxes is that I can send almost* any type of big fly- mice, deer-hair flies, big sculpins, & poppers, also dries-without crushing the hackles.

* I say almost...they don't make check-boxes for 14/0 to 19/0 hooks & flies.

Depends on what customs office they hit. I wouldn't mislabel a package
in today's climate. So when some inspectors see artificial fishing
flies, they feel obligated to open the package and check for possible
CITES violations. If they find a feather they'll request proper
certification from the addressee, at a big price!!! Way too much
hassle for me!
