How should a parcel be packed

[forummember]

How should a parcel be packed when coming in to customs? Is there any golden rules?

[jeffweico]

With NON-VERO items!

Seriously, though...

Each supplier has thier own method of packing. One person I use swears by MILES of TAPE! Another sends plain boxes that look like any other.

But the fact is, no matter what they do, if your customs wants to inspect a package, they will. If the items are ⊗⊗⊗⊗, they will be seized. Legitimate items will be delayed

If you are dealing in "foo-foo" items as GreenBean puts it, those are the risks.

Thanks for all the replies. I think the tape and clean looking box sounds good.
