Parcel Post or whatever they are calling ?it now, lowest cost
Yes, generally.
But most countries only allow a small de minimus on posted packages.
Sometimes couriers are allowed much more before duty and taxes are charged... but they have ... sometimes steep...brokerage fees too.
Something that somebody sends you... that is over those de minimus limits... can result in significant duty and taxes being charged.
And, it can depend on whether you post it, or use a courier.
Posting versus courier isn't always cheaper, and vice versa.
It depends on what the declared value is... and what it is declared as too.
Sometimes customs can hold it, and re-access its value, or what it should be declared as... if they think the value... or the description...? is not accurate.
