In the US as well as in Europe this can be considered a crime if the agent thinks you are trying to "evade the customs" since "private" and "customs" are subjected to two different customs tables and restrictions, and if they catch you and you find someone who is not understanding at all your case, it could end up much worse than the small fine I paid, and you will have to hire a lawyer.
It's not the perfect solution, however, considering the above, I do find the "eBay Global Shipping Program" a good solution with the customs because there is not the seller but rather the mail depot company " Pitney Bowes" to prepare the customs documentation for you.
Guys at Pitney Bowes are expert, so they prepare the right documentation with the right terms and details, and they assume the legal protection in case the seller did a malicious mistake.
Difference with them:
* you cannot have combined shipping. You order two items? You pay two postage!
* as you know in many countries customs controls are something like "one package is checked every ten" if it's a private deal, so without Pitney Bowes it could be better because you could pay nothing thanks to the good luck, while when you import via Pitney Bowes you always pay customs.
I do prefer to always pay, but to always have the right customs documentation :D

I did read the documentation. Please point to the documentation which says so if you are so sure.

Seller doesn't deal with anything when using GSP. Just ships it to their location and they do everything needed to deliver it, including repackaging.

Please show that table instead of writing algorithms with no information.
